I want it to be more country, debut album 2.0 would be  |
I would love a mix of songs like Haunted (LOVE the whole orchestra part to the song) and also songs like her debut album.

Funny how they were both break out stars in 2009/2010. Lady Gaga and Taylor Swift are like polar opposites when it comes to their image, but both are funnily enough, two of the most successful musicians right now.

I think I'm the minority here, but I prefer Taylor to do collabs with up-and-coming or indie artists only. Or with the greats (i.e: James Taylor, Emmylou Harris). Not even Gaga. Sorry.

No 'Haunted' & 'Dear John'? And 'Safe & Sound' has already out of Top 100?

Well to be fair, 4 million+ copies of Haunted and Dear John have already been sold. :P

A collaboration with popstars will not only hurt Taylor's star, but the collaborators' too. Mark my words.
Tbh, I'm rooting for a collaboration with this guy:
ATRL people, Morrisey; Morrisey, ATRL people.

I think they actually have a lot of similarities... Even reading the Vogue article, there were parts that reminded me of Gaga.
Taylor's Vogue: "I've never felt like one of the cool kids at the party."
Gaga @ 2010 VMAs: "Tonight we're the cool kids at the party."
Taylor's Vogue: "What makes a strong female?"
Gaga's ****: "If you're a strong female..."
Both felt like outsiders growing up, both are really smart, both have been involved in music since childhood, they share some similar role models (Springsteen), they both write their own lyrics, both have enormous hearts...
The differences are what most people see though
-Gaga's hypersexuality vs. Taylor's extreme privacy
-Gaga's political involvement vs. Taylor not being publically political
-Gaga's gritty, vulgar, open personality vs. clean, guarded personality
Gaga is like the original Grimms fairytales and Taylor is like Disney's "cleaned up" adaptations.

I'd rather see Taylor collab with other country artists, especially Carrie Underwood or The Band Perry

God, I hope not. I prefer her to do collabs with the likes of Laura Marling, Elizabeth Cook, Caitlin Rose, Alison Krauss, Dierks Bentley, Jamey Johnson, and Neko Case (from the Country genre). And other than country, um, Feist, St. Vincent, Girls (the band), Bon Iver, and The Decemberist. DREAM collabs would be with Oak Ridge Boys & The Chieftains.

Plus Gaga actually writes about her relationships and experiences a lot, just like Taylor.

Dierks Bentley or Alison Krauss work be amazing I'm not sure how she'd sound with Jamey Johnson though I don't think they would sound good together. Their both great in there own way though 
PS seeing the Civil Wars fans comment on Facebook makes me feel like even many indie fans are ignorant to the music Taylor creates I've been trying to set them straight but they are so ignorant

Safe and Sound is at #103 so its about to re-enter the top 100 lol I have this weird feeling that if she performs with the Civil Wars and kills the performance plus the MV that she can go back into the top 10 and possibly #1 #wishfulthinking

It re-entered at number 100 yesterday but promptly fell out again.
I really like the live version of Enchanted. However, there is one problem, and I think I've asked this before: What's with the muffling sound? Is it something they use to increase the volume of her voice, or just a syncing problem?
