Do you guys think Taylor Swift would do good on alternative & rock format? She really can't penetrate pop that well because she's not manufactured.

I think so, just glad she hasn't joined the Illuminati.

I've always wanted her to send songs there. Especially Haunted but I think that many rock and alternative fans have this thing against pop artists and although I know many who like Taylor. I think radio is nervous about how people would react to it. They'd rather play Daughtry or Nickelback who many rock fans don't even want to hear

It won't be any worse than having Aldean perform with Ludacris. IF the country community let him do that I see no reason why they wouldn't let Taylor perform a hard-rock song?!

That's true , but did any critic praise that?
not really

After Taylor performed Ours at the CMA's critics were saying it's the best performance of the night , they were praising her for being able to just sit with the guitar on a couch , after hours of heavy production performances

Why would she want to ruin her Country-reputation ??

I agree the lyrics were clever, but all the lyrics on Speak Now was clever. You can't deny that.

But if I were to pick the worst lyrics on the album...

Mine
Never Grow Up
Haunted
If This Was a Movie
Superman

+1 I totally agree with you in this one

Poor production for me.

Same for me. In my opinion, it's over-produced.

It was handled poorly. it was promoted as an international single. They even made two videos with the SN concert footage. But the song didn't have an impact internationally

I'd rather have them not released it but just focussed on Mean, which would probably smash even harder than it already had

That's my ultimate dream The hipster/rocker hybrid of Taylor. **** GOD! I WANT IT NOW!

Probably mine too. At least Eyes Open will sample us rocker ala Taylor. So, will she do good on those formats?

NOO.
Song with worst lyrics would have to be OURS and LONG LIVE. Worst songs on Speak Now too. Never Grow Up is pretty good.

Daughtry & Nickelback =
Are they rock? Hm, they are the definition of trash here according to the Rock Music Guide that I wrote.

And btw, Lemmy of Motorhead is a Taylor fan too. I'm shocked.
She will do moderately well in Alt./Rock field imo,

I think a deep & special connection is needed for this. I have that.

TSOU wasn't promoted worldwide
Yes, it has two MV but that's all and they don't even add it to taylor's accounts on youtube (the footage video) but that was all
They make a MV and they said that it's the international single...but when they saw that it flopped in the US they don't send it anywhere...I live in spain and I have never listen to it on a spanish radio

Mean would have never smashed internationally, it's too country for that I like it of course, but almost nobody is here for country on europe, taylor need a cross-over or justa pop song to smash here, and TSOU was that

Taylor would probably do better in alternative than in rock. Are females taken seriously in rock genre on US? Now I'm starting to hate the pop-tag to our queen.

IMO, she should do whatever she wants. Ours are a shoe-in for a Country awards performance. While Haunted could get a hard-rock set, it would please the audience but it will give more power to the system to kick her out from the game.

I even thought that Sparks Fly would do good in rock. Am I mistaken or what?

Really?

It has clever metaphors. Long Live, also has clever metaphors. I find this lyric hitting me hard. "But if God forbid fate should step in, and force us into a goodbye"

Should've Said No is not so different to Haunted though. She just need a solid performance! Mean at the grammys was a borefest.

Are u serious? I'd never expect that! The man with the Ace of Spades loves Taylor! Hell yeah

[Taylor Swift]

My worst from the list is:

Haunted - recycled lyrics

YES! Rocker Taylor ***** on pop-acts you know today. She will do well if she tries the Alt./Rock genre. You know the usual rock audience, they LOVE kick-ass acts that are not plastic. She fits the criteria, but the image, she needs to use the image on Harper's Bazaar photoshoot.

BMR didn't know what to do with TSOU-Mean release. Great music videos still.

Production wise it would work. I think it would have limited success in rock but no way would it work in alternative
