Music Appreciation
Showing Original Post only (View all)Honest Question re: Taylor Swift. Can anyone point to one song [View all]
that might make me appreciate or even "like" her music? I know she writes a lot of her own songs--which is great, but I look upon her as a teen girl obsession... But, more to the point, I've never forgiven her early Grammy performance (where she inexplicably was given top billing over STEVIE NICKS in a dual performance) and then proceeded to totally f...k up the entire song. Unprepared while performing with Stevie Nicks?!!! That's a grudge that's hard to lose.
But with all this Ticketmaster crap, I know she is unbelievably popular, so can you point me to ONE song that might make me want to reevaluate? I do believe that musicians can evolve, mature, and improve...

Thanks all for the suggestions. I like quite a few of these, so I'm glad to reassess
