You're Still The One was also nominated for Best Female Video at the 1998 MTV Video Music Awards, making Twain the first female country artist to ever be nominated for an MTV Video Music Award
Swift's last album, 2012's Red, straddled the line between country and pop. "But at a certain point," she says, "if you chase two rabbits, you lose them both." So this time, she set out to do full-on "blatant pop music." A casual fan won't notice much difference, but to Swift and her brand, it's a big step. She says she won't be going to country-awards shows or promoting the album on country radio. When she first turned in the record, she says the head of her label, Scott Borchetta, told her, "This is extraordinary – it's the best album you've ever done. Can you just give me three country songs?"
"Love you, mean it," is how Swift characterizes her response. "But this is how it's going to be."
But Swift is unfazed. "You want to know a trick to immediately go from feeling victimized to feeling awesome?" she says. She pulls out her phone and hands me the earbuds: "This is my go-to." She presses play, and Kendrick Lamar's "Backseat Freestyle" fills the speakers. As Swift bobs her head, Lamar raps:
All my life I want money and power
Respect my mind or die from lead shower
I pray my dick get big as the Eiffel Tower
So I can **** the world for 72 hours
Goddamn, I feel amazing
Damn, I'm in the Matrix . . .
Tayloose permanently acts like she's on the playground. You can just tell her rich, Republican parents spoiled her as a child and she can't handle not getting her own way.
At least Katy has never released something as painfully mediocre as Shake It Off, let alone as her lead single

Roar is much worse as is Part of Me. Lets not even mention Peacock
