Legendary 80s band Duran Duran praise Taylor in this interview! Note that they were part of the New Romantics movement that Taylor referenced in her song, New Romantics!
Quote:
You keep inspiring young pop artists. Taylor Swift wrote a song called "New Romantics."
Nick Rhodes: Well, she's intelligent, isn't she? I haven't heard that song yet, but she's got something for sure. She doesn't just put a decent tune together — she tries a new sound.
John Taylor: I don't know a lot her about her story, but I think the big thing is leaving Nashville, right? Both spiritually and physically. There was no going back. Once you've gone to Max Martin, you don't go back to Nashville. But she had a vision for herself that could exist outside of categories. And I guess we were probably like that with our own sound. We left Nashville. Even before we left Birmingham. I don't like the genre thing. Everything you buy on iTunes has got the word "genre" attached to it. We never would have used the word "genre" in 1980.
Hi everyone!!! I'm a new swiftie here! I've been trying to register for AGES and today I couldn't believe the registrations were opened! So happy to be with you and to be finally able to post!
I've been following Taylor since Speak Now (my fav album of hers, i just love it. There are no words for how holy it is).
So... here it is!

Hi guys,
Glad to finally be here :-)
Have been reading here for the last couple of hundreds pages. Love Taylor obviously, but also love music in general. Mainly female and mainly pop.

Hey Swifties. Im not a huge fan but im a normal fan i guess. I think Taylor should film the NR video at the Love Story castle and change up the story to make it more pro independence.
Welcome!. I never thought about that. Such a genius idea. I hope they take it if it ever becomes a single
Have you guys noticed that after the article that Lena posted about how awkward and out of place she felt during the style performance on Tour, Taylor has stopped bringing out her model friends and others during Style? I am happy to be honest, because I feel most of these models are not her genuine friends but using her for popularity.
Should have checked the last page. 
thanks
