Taylor Swift Takes an Accidental Stab at Stevie?

[addiejean]

I saw Taylor Swift in concert the night before I saw the Unleashed concert.

The sixty year old blonde put the twenty year old blonde to shame

I do appreciate Taylor for writing her own songs though, its pretty rare for someone in my generation.

Yes, there are country artists I like, such as Julie Roberts and Tim McGraw, and I may enjoy them immensely for the songs they choose and the way they perform them (which is certainly a talent in itself), but I do feel less due to the fact that they don't write their material -- or at least they don't write the songs that are the better ones.

It's great that Taylor is writing at such a young age and she can only improve.

I agree...even though I don't care for her music...I have huge respect for people who write their own stuff. I understand that performing is difficult and it takes a certain talent to do it but writing your own stuff makes it more personal and in turn has an effect on what the audience takes away from it...at least, thats true for me, maybe not everyone. I do have a thing for writers, though, so that may be why I feel that way. To me, it just seems like it becomes more of an art when the singer writes it himself/herself whereas if someone else writes it for them it can have a more commercial feel to it. LOL...in my head that makes sense but I don't think I explained it very well
