I think that accounts for her popularity right there! And I'm not actually saying that's a bad thing...

Yeah I don't think shes "bad", she clearly can sing. But whenever I think of Taylor Swift I just think...generic. No spice or sass or anything. Its not even like real country, its too pop.

Yeah, she definately treads the line between country and pop, but trying to define genres always gives me a headache! I agree about the lack of spice, just personal taste but I like a bit of outlaw to a country singer.

I do wonder if she's got much staying power, her appeal has a lot to with her youth and girlishness, I wonder how she'll develop.

Sometimes when people do interviews they forget years later that they even said some of the things they said. i think by the time she is 60 she'll stay blonde. She's only what 20? She's still a kid and she has a long way to go in her life. I like Taylor Swift, I enjoy her music, she sounds like a lot of fun, but I don't think she was poking fun at Stevie in anyway. She probably gets so many comments about her hair. And I do love her hair. I wish I had curls like that. I wish I had curls period. LOL!

And Dolly's hair has always been a wig. She supposedly never lets anyone see her without it...

And I totally agree. They honestly do not make them to last anymore. (Which I have very strong opinions as to why that is...) I bang my head on my desk every time the new flavor of the month's CD comes across my way. I die a little inside when I plaster on that smile every day at work and try to convince people that some of this Top 40 "country" music is the best thing since sliced bread.

It's amazing what kind of record deal you can buy these days... (even though if you ask, it never happened that way in Taylor's case. *rolls eyes*)

As a side note, Emmylou's hair is gorgeous. Especially in person.

They only thing Stevie should be mad about (or jealous) is that Taylor is on the
BIG MACHINE Label, and Stevie's on Warner/Reprise. Taylor wins.

JazmenFlowers · #38 08-20-2009, 08:16 AM

1 - the mere idea that what Taylor said in that interview was in any way, shape or form directed at Stevie is ridiculous and the fact that it's being discussed is even more so.

2 - I like Taylor. I didn't like the "I'll tell everyone you're gay" or whatever it was line from her song Picture To Burn that ended up getting changed...that kinda sat really sour with me, but whatever. in the end, I can't help but think she's a cute little praying mantis with cute, bubbly songs and cute, bubbly videos. I sing along in the car and stop to watch her videos. so...I ain't hatin.

BellaDonna · #39 08-20-2009, 12:43 PM

I didn't mind her at first... I liked most of her songs.. not enough to buy her cd or anything.. I listen to country music 40 hours a week, at work, because that is the only radio station they want to listen to. So I hear her ALOT. So lately I do get tired of hearing her, but then again I get a lil tired of all the country... cuz it's all I ever hear!!

.....Til I come home and put on my Stevie songs. ......Ahhh Relief at last!

Why should Stevie be jealous of that? Being on that label is not any better than being on a major. That's an indie label with a major label mentality.

I couldn't have said it better myself!

A singer like her won't last like Stevie has. Plus Taylor's voice and music has no ass behind it. It's just there.
Singers like Taylor are just a fad.
She may or may have not been talking specifically about Stevie, but we get the drift, lol! She really shouldn't have said that, IMO.
It sounds like a back handed compliment to me, and coming from the dog show circuit, I have heard my fair share of back handed compliments! Everybody has.

grace_face · #42 08-25-2009, 01:32 AM

Hmm...I don't know if she's directing that at Stevie specifically. Aren't there many people who are 60 and have blonde or whatever coloured hair??

I actually find it a bit of a rude statement even if it wasn't directed at Stevie. Taylor is very young though, so you know, she may just not have developed a very mature outlook yet. *shrug* If she intends not to colour her hair when she's 60, good for her. If she changes her mind in the 40 years before she gets to 60, then good for her also. It's all quite irrelevant really.

I think Stevie looks fantastic and her hair looks completely normal/natural, as it always has. (just as an aside, my mum is 62 and colours her hair. I can't imagine her grey. It'd freak me out! lol)

paleshadow · #43 08-25-2009, 07:26 AM

All she said was " I don't need to be blond when I'm 60". She didn't say "People who dye their hair at 60 are shallow and superficial". So what's the problem? Are young people not supposed to say how they feel at their current age because it might not be how they feel when they are senior citizens?

I think she'll do fine with her career. She's already sold over 5 million albums between her first and second releases. She appeared on an episode of CSI and was very good, and she's making her film debut next year. She's not my cup of tea, but I'm not a fan of country music. I don't get why anyone would be so negative as far as foreseeing a successful career for her. Her success will not take away from any of Stevie's accomplishments.

Curly hair is a right pain in the arse. Ever seen that episode of "Friends" where Monica's hair goes 'fro like in the humidity so she gets dreadlocks? Dreadlocks would not be a solution for my hair.
