Middle-age white male.

67 year-old white male - not that there's anything wrong with that. She's a GREAT songwriter.

She is a force.

.

And has handled her business decisions since she was 19, with some guidance form her parents, who have business/financial backgrounds.

She gives loads to charity, and also earns money hand over fist. She is worth hundreds of millions of dollars. D-45 is not.

Just a whole damn lot more now.. Thanks Tay. We will gladly take the help. The right is pouring money into Tn like you wouldn't believe. Koch's, Rove, Marsha has been lying her ass off as usual. Bredesen saved us once as Gov..I believe he has another save left in him. Damn what a mess these assholes have made..LETS GO BIG BLUE WAVE

Good for her.

I have been a fan of hers since she was a teen singing Country, and I have no idea why people think a woman of 28 writes and sings the same lyrics as a teenager.

Seems to me she must have a broad fan base if she's writing like that.

My granddaughter was 5 at the time. She was so sweet to her and attentive. She made my granddaughter feel very special. I will always have a soft spot in my heart for her.

But I took my (then) 12 years old daughter to go see her Fearless Tour.

She had sung two or three songs and then you could tell she was doing a set/costume change. The lights went all dark for 20 seconds ds ot so and then BAM! The spotlight pops up right next to me and my daughter (we were on the end seat of the aisle) and Taylor Swift was within arms grasp of me. I immediately swapped seats with my daughter so she could get next to her. My daughter still talks about that and she is a 22 year old woman now, like she was still 12/13.

To be honest though, my excitement wore off in about 5 seconds because you could literally feel the stadium shift to get closer to her (almost on top of us) and I'm one of those guys who counts airplane seats, closet exit, etc whenever I go into a building/plane. It was pretty surreal moment. My daughter said recently she was so excited she forgot to get pictures of a video of it. This was still a year or two before people lived through their camera phone. I told her that it wouldnt have been as special if she was viewing it through a phone vs her just paying total attention to her.

My daughter still love Taylor Swift and still buys concert tickets when she tours. I asked her recently what she thinks of Swifts statement, and she said, "That she probably wont lose very many fans over this." and "She probably just opened the eyes of millions of girls/teens and women all over." I have to agree with her.

And that's just from reading the lyrics.

(And I think I'll leave it at that.)
