And that’s just the ones who can actually carry a tune and project their voices without autotune!

Does anybody really care what Taylor Swift is doing? The media keeps pushing her, but I do not care.

Just look at the news today: Tennessee detective turned pastor blocked from Cracker Barrel following LGBT comments

Taylor's social credit would be destroyed. She stayed quite for years and got associated with Nazis, is it any wonder why she finally decided to come out (using the safest position possible, I mean really who is going to bad mouth gays during Pride Month)

It's like me "coming out" in support of tax cuts , something any flaccid Republican would support

“Thus endeth her career”

Yeh, shades of Dixie Chicks. On the other hand, appears to me that she’s not doing much country anymore. So, may not matter to her.

Both Taylor Swift and Katy Perry released their best albums, 1989 and Prism respectively, within a year and half of each other.

Perhaps that is why they tussled with each other for so long, they are more similar than what they like to admit.

No, I can’t think of a comparable female singer today. I have enjoyed the singing of some of the modern country women like Gretchen Wilson (what happened to her?), Miranda Lambert (Mama’s Broken Heart and others) and Carrie Underwood. They all belt out songs but they sound good.

She’s a Yankee

Not a Tennessean

Although with women now running music row it’s moved left decidedly

No, the gays are the barbaric fools repeating mistakes of the past. Nothing new under this sun.

I like the song and the video, funny bits of it, and was at first offended by the way the anti-gay protesters looked, but then I realize she has them picketing their homes (or vacation spot). It’s a free republic and everyone should be able to live how they wish. So anyone who would literally picket the home of someone for their dress or sexual orientation deserves to be badly portrayed.

Not reading this thread because it’s I’m sure full of hate. I’m a Taylor Swift fan. She writes and performs great songs. She’s great to her fans. She wants to get more political, uhhhh, I guess so far it’s not so bad - just supporting LGBTQ individuals. I do hope she stops her politics and gets back to love and stuff.

Sarah Vaughn was a great, great singer! I love having Sirius in my car. (I just bought it.)

I love classic rock. My husband doesn’t so on long trips I don’t often hear the heart-poundingly beautiful sound of an electric guitar. But we do listen to other amazing types of music. But I’d rather be sick than listen to something called Taylor Swift.

LOL - Thanks for reminding me about the All Powerful white Mormon Vote in California.

I had completely forgotten the MSM was relentlessly pushing that propaganda theme.

LOL 2 - I guess that explains why Romney won California in the 2012 presidential election?

You and me both re Swift. I haven’t actually heard her that I’m aware, but knowing already that she’s in the vein of Shania Twain (“modern” country, blecchh, at least in her day), and other autotuned talentless wonders, I feel qualified to opine on her without hearing her.

My DH doesn’t like the harder classic rock that I like, but he does love Bob Seger and a few others, so we manage on long trips (plus, he used to defer to me until he couldn’t take anymore of The Who, Zeppelin, Little Feat, Steely Dan, etc-back before he got cancer and we took trips together). We both liked Hank Jr and a few others. Otherwise, he’s a “golden oldies” guy, my day was the music of the early-mid Seventies (think the movie “Dazed And Confused”). I don’t care for golden oldies except Elvis, but I can tolerate some in the interests of fairness :) Oh, and DH loved Fleetwood Mac, mostly because of Stevie Nicks. And he liked Pat Benatar. I like the guitar gods, John McLaughlin, Larry Carlton, and good drummers like John Bonham, Keith Moon (as he said, he was the best Who-style drummer at any rate, lol), Bill Bruford, Ginger Baker (though the man himself is a prick), Barriemore Barlow (Jethro Tull, and named by John Bonham as the best rock drummer in England), etc.

I thought it was just me, I love the movie (the original John Wayne version) and the soundtrack.

“I call that bold talk for a one-eyed fat man”

“Fill your hands you sonuvabitch!”

Also love Bernard Hermann’s soundtrack for “Vertigo”. I can see the movie before my eyes just by listening to it.

Taylor Swift hasn't been a country artist since 2012.

Wouldn't really know, I haven't listened to Country radio since Shania Twain had her music video then I knew country wasn't country. My tastes are more Waylon, Johnny Cash, Alan Jackson etc. The party boy good times on the beach music ain't "my thang"

In my opinion she has done the calculations and this move would lose her a far smaller number of fans than you or I think. She must have checked this, she is generally a very smart business woman
