I think lyrically Fifteen is in the top 5 of Taylor's best written songs, for me anyway.

Yeah. For me,
1. Dear John
2. Long Live
3. Enchanted
4. Fifteen
5. This one is tough. But i'll give it to Back to December.

Mary's Song and Innocent are close though. Mary's Song is like a perfect story-telling song that i really like.

I think the reason for YBWM's high increase in views on Youtube could be due to its worldwide appeal. The first video I ever saw from Taylor was You Belong WIth Me on tv and had the chorus stuck in my head. That eventually lead me to search up the video youtube, and I slowly discovered her music... and later, you know.

So my point is, YBWM MV is probably the first video someone will look up when fascination for Taylor hits them... hence the huge increase in views.

YBWM's video is a masterpiece, and is still her best! It'll be hard to top that video.

If Bieber's album wins the Grammy for Album of the Year () Taylor would lose her record as the youngest-ever winner, but she would have a second AOTY trophy to her name.

How likely would that be?

MDNA has a better chance of being nominated than Bieber does.

Then I guess that means it will be impossible.

Is ''swag, swag, swag on you, while we're eating fondue'' not deserving of the highest honor in music?

Certainly that honor goes to this lyrical breakthrough then: ''I'm a girl gone wild. Girls, they just want to have some fun''.

I actually really like MDNA.
When you think about it, there are no front-runners in terms of pop albums eligible for this year's Grammys. Madonna's MDNA, Lana's Born To Die, Kelly's Stronger, Rihanna's Talk That Talk. I can't think of any others. They're all okay, but none are really Grammy-worthy.

Personally, I've still got my fingers crossed for a Hunger Games soundtrack AOTY nomination. It's selling decently and is full of Grammy darlings.

Yeah, it was OBWAT. That was produced by T-Bone as well.

Yeah I know that kid has so many AOTY wins

That would be actually really cool to see STRONGER nominated. No way Lana, Rihanna, or Madonna will be.

Bieber keeps trying to break into the country market, and he'll never succeed. Collaborating with Rascal Flatts didn't work in his favor, and collaborating with Taylor won't get him on country radio either.

It might help Taylor on pop radio though

Admittedly, I've only heard a handful of songs from MDNA, so I can't really judge it fully. From the tracks that I've heard though, only 2 or 3 I took a liking to. The one which I absolutely love is weirdly enough, one of the the bonus tracks- 'Beautiful Killer'.

I mean...where would you see two winners of the Grammy AOTY within the last 5 years in the same album

Yeah, i would love for Stronger to be nominated. But i think WDKY has greater chances for SOTY/ROTY noms.

Watch them pull another "Loud" and "Teenage Dream". I love the said albums but being an AOTY nominee is....

Don't forget that Taylor is stronger than Justin in Pop , she's had a #1 hit there ;D

[Achilles.]

Come to think of it, this Grammy eligibility period is looking kind of weak based on what's been released so far; especially in the pop field.

Definite nominees:
Springsteen- Wrecking Ball
Florence- Ceremonials
Miranda- Four The Record
Coldplay- Mylo Xyloto
Drake- Take Care
Various- Hunger Games Soundtrack

Possible nominees:
Kelly- Stronger
Madonna- MDNA
Tim- Emotional Traffic
Lana- Born to Die
Rihanna- Talk That Talk
Nicki- Roman Reloaded
One Direction- Up All Night
Lionel- Tuskegee

As of now, I think Four The Record is the obvious Country album winner. We'll see what the rest of this year's releases bring.
