Response to Michelle: I agree with Michelle’s review of Taylor Swift. T Swift is a relatable country pop rocker who has everything going for her. Taylor quickly established herself as a breakthrough artist and has earned numerous awards to show her success. Not only is Taylor an amazing artist, she has aggressively used online social networks such as Twitter and Facebook to stay connected with her young audience. Taylor Swift has become a role model to many young women. As she warily narrates her own story and erases barriers between her and her fans, she is helping country reach a new audience. There are many other singers and songwriters like Taylor Swift, such as Carrie Underwood, Jewel, Jessica Simpson, Jordan Sparks and the Jonas Brothers. Like Michelle said, her relatable lyrics draw in teen girls such as, “please don’t be in love with someone else, please don’t have somebody waiting on you,” and "as far as I'm concerned, you're just another picture to burn,” and “you take my hand and drag me head first, fearless.” In the past few years, Taylor Swift has sky rocketed up the music charts and is played daily on many radio stations. Taylor Swift is a unique artist due to the fact that she is so young, multi-talented, generous, gorgeous, and genuinely kind. Expect many more number one hits from this aspiring young country teen queen.
