I'm aware that this is not the cool thing to admit, and I am also aware that by doing so some may think I've got no taste at all, but I'm going to confess anyway: I like Taylor Swift and I am really enjoying her new CD.
My favorite song on the recently released Speak Now album is "Dear John." Last week I read a couple of articles where she didn't deny the rumors that the song is about John Mayer. The girl certainly puts it all out there when she composes these tell-all songs. Like Alyssa says, "If Taylor Swift keeps this up, every guy in the world is going to be afraid to date her." Yeah, that.
Here's a little video of Taylor's appearance on the Ellen show. You be the judge...
So there you have it - I like the CD and I'm not ashamed to admit that she is one of the most played artists on my iPod. I guess that makes me uncool... but at least I own my uncool status.
I too love her. I purchased the cd the day before the offical release at Target (they had authorization for early release) and have been playing it over and over.
Glad I'm not the only one

She came here in concert to open for Brad Paisley when she first started out. I loved her then and I am not ashamed to say I love her still - she is really great in concert. Seriously. And I think her music just keeps getting better and better.

Good to see you posting again!
I don't really listen to her music but think she is absolutely adorable...

Here goes...
I was one of the first in line to bash Taylor. Then I actually listened to her first album. She had me with the song Love Story. Now that her new album is out, I'm glad I don't have a daughter that listens to her and has her somewhat idolized. (Some of my friend with tween and teen daughters do.) I love her new album. You can tell she was pissed during some of those songs. I think it's catchy and I can now finally admit to you and to your readers that yes, indeed, I am now a fan of Taylor Swift's music.
Whew. Confessional time. That felt good.
