Agreed, Taylor Swift is getting hit hard now, and look at what ANY support leads--another foot in the mouth. Taylor's PR people took a shot at American Idol and got hit back hard:
Kelly Clarkson has taken to her blog in umbrage over Taylor Swift's record label chief's dismissive remarks yesterday about American Idol.
While defending Swift's much-criticized Grammy performance, Big Machine Records CEO Scott Borchetta, said, "This is not American Idol. This is not a competition of getting up and seeing who can sing the highest note."
On behalf of all Idol singers, Kelly wrote:
... you know what, we not only hit the high notes, you forgot to mention we generally hit the 'right' notes as well. Every artist has a bad performance or two and that is understandable, but throwing blame will not make the situation at hand any better

Stevie may reach out to Swift on a personal note-- that we will probably never hear. Look at all the criticism Stevie has taken while being successful for decades, as a solo performer and with FM. You know what I mean, goat singer, gravel voice, fat lady, etc. If Taylor can't take a little heat (and she really didn't hit the notes, as Clarkson observes), she shouldn't be in the business. You gotta have some stones to make it in this business. But it's fair to note: Taylor isn't whining to the press. Her PR people are. They should shut up. It'll blow over. Until the tour reviews come in, that is.
