Taylor Swift is the new country and pop hit singer. She learned how to play guitar when she was 12 and she started writing songs about real life things. Taylors’ new album “Speak Now” is projected to sell 1 million copies. If this happens, she will beat Lil Wayne’s “Tha Carter III” from June of 2008. It will be the biggest week for an album since 50 Cents “The Massacre” from March 2005. All of Swifts’ fans are ready to make this happen. Some favorite songs from the album include Mine, Innocent, and Back to December. Mine tells a love story about a guy and girl. It makes you feel happy that she found someone because her parents weren’t in love. It also makes you excited that she found someone so perfect. Back to December is about an ex boyfriend. It makes you sad because she left him and she realized she still likes him and he doesn’t want to talk to her. Taylor’s songs are one of a kind. She has unique lyrics and her voice reminds me of Jessica Andrews. She sings country but doesn’t have the southern accent like Miranda Lambert and Kellie Pickler. In her song Back to December, the lyric, And I go back to December all the time / It turns out freedom ain’t nothing but missing you, is memorable. She is saying she thinks about the day she left him all the time and it isn’t what she thought it would be like without him. It’s memorable because it is easy to relate to. She has been nominated for many awards and it’s easy to say I agree with the critics about her music. She had 22 top 40 songs in the 2000s which no other female artist came close to. So all in all, Taylor Swifts’ music is worth it. She has many songs and one of the biggest albums coming out so there has to be a song of hers that you are bound to like.
