I think if her writing keeps improving with every album, she just might.

Like Carrie said, Taylor writes with a clarity that's quite impressive for someone 19 years old (and whose songs are being pulled from a back catalogue that starts at 14.) Is her singing voice incredible? No, it isn't, but that only shows how far her other talents have carried her. This is a girl who turned down her first contract offer, RCA, because they wouldn't allow her to write her own music, and who has now progressed to the point that she's co-writing songs for other popular country acts. She's one of the highest grossing artists of the year, and she's not above poking fun at herself (see "Thug Story.) I haven't done quite as much with myself since my 19th birthday this year.

Find fault with her songs for being "too teenage" if you will, but keep in mind, they were written by a teenager; fault her for being anti-feminist in Love Story, but remember that true feminism is the belief that a woman can follow any fantasy of her heart and mind. If you ask me, Taylor Swift is one of, if not the, most admirable young mainstream artists out there today.
