Response to Anna: I do agree with Anna about Taylor Swift. I listen to her songs that have made it onto pop charts, such as “Love Story”, “You Belong With Me”, “Fearless”, and “Mine”. Although I don’t listen to country, I really like it when country music artists such as Swift, Lady Antebellum, or Blake Shelton’s songs are played on pop stations. This gives me a chance to hear songs I might not have heard otherwise. I like how Swift talks about real life situations. Anna is right that Swift’s songs can be enjoyed by people of all ages. The critics are correct that Swift is becoming a bigger star. In fact, she just released the new song “Eyes Open”, which is on the soundtrack from “Hunger Games”, a very popular new movie. This will make her an even more famous singer, because of the movie’s popularity. In her song “Fearless”, Swift talks about falling in love with a boy. She says “I don’t know how it gets better than this/you take my hand and drag me headfirst, fearless”. These lyrics give a picture in the listeners head about them dancing and falling in love. I think Taylor Swift’s albums are worth your time and money because listening to her music can help you rebound from a bad day.
