Taylor Swift

lol. You know, she kinda gets that alot. You must really think Taylor is beautiful huh SOA?

Yes, I do.

Not the most beautiful ever, but she’s my kind.

Ah, I see what you mean. :wink:

I have a question, does Taylor Swift write her own songs? I find that I appriciate artist’s music more if they wrote it themselves.

Yes, she does.

That’s what I like about her so much, beside her wearing clothing instead of meat suits or almost nothing. I like her songs, her clothes, and just about everything. My sister is kind of obsessed with her, which can be off putting, though. She’s one female celebrity I don’t hate and can take seriously!

Spirit: That’s good, I seem to appriciate an artist more if the songs come from their heart and are written too

Virginia: Agreed, she stands out in Hollywood, by not having to do crazy things to make her stand out (case in point: Meat Dresses. It makes me sad that an animal died for nothing, if you kill an animal, eat it don’t use it to protest something that has no connection too meat!)

Sorry, got off track there! But yeah, Swift does have a nice style, and seems really sweet!

Take that Kanye!

I think the Kanye-Swift thing has been blown out of proportion. From what details I can gather through anecdotes and a bit of research, most people didn’t care about Taylor Swift before the incident.

After it occurred the entire community came to her aid and millions of people decided to give her a try. Before it occurred she was the pop-country singer who wasn’t Miley Cyrus.

What Kanye did was wrong, but if anything his behavior launched her career into the stratosphere way ahead of when it would’ve under her own power.

The worst thing that came along with that is the backlash towards both.

I know I made the joke about Swift earlier in the thread but she doesn’t deserve to be called any of the unkind words that have been flying around because she seemingly has a new boyfriend every couple of months.

First of all, outside of the songs she writes, it’s nobody’s business anyway. Second of all, she’s attractive and famous, it’s part of the trade. Thirdly, why does this sort of shame only get attached to females while famous dudes can be total players and be crowned “Greatest Man of All Time”?

Well, I think she was quite popular before that (she was actually taking an award when that happened).

But of course, that incident gathered a little more interest about her.

I’m not a fan of him just because of the Taylor Swift incident. In general his ego just bothers me.

She was popular but not as popular as she is now. She was picking up an award, sure. But she was something of an also-ran.

Like I don’t think she ever would’ve gotten that Sony commercial deal without the incident happening. Among other things.

This isn’t to belittle her talent. It’s just that I think got Kanye version of the Colbert Bump.

And I happen to like Kanye. He’s very talented and if you can tolerate the ego you find a celebrity that’s more amusing than most. I mean look at his twitter feed. Comedy gold.

I join the club. I also think West has proven to bean horrible being.

Glad I’m not the only one who doesn’t like him. I don’t think he’s a horrible being, but I just think he needs to be brought back down to Earth, and learn about modesty.

I know too many people who don’t like him because of his ego. I actually don’t mind his ego. I find the whole arrogant thing quite funny.

There are plenty of people who deal in smug arrogance in better ways though. NPH, Joel McHale, Will Smith, Nathan Fillion and George Clooney all have personalities that revolve around smarm charm and people love them for it. But they’re charm is often marked with a sense of self-deprecation so there’s a huge difference between them and Kanye.

But come on, how can you hate a guy whose Twitter feed is filled with things like: “Sometimes I get really emotional about font”?

Though I think most people get really emotional about font at times. I’m seemingly the only guy I know who doesn’t care about font.

I wonder how far I can derail this thread.

Taylor Swift should come out with an album called A Modest Proposal. It would seem really high brow.

Well, I can’t say anything about people with large egos. I have that problem myself, though I’m working on it. I dislike him for many reasons, but I try to disregard that and keep things in perspective, if you know what I mean.

I think my favorite song from her is “You Belong with Me”, her signature song.

Fearless or Love Story. Funny thing is, those are both contrary to me as a person. I just love the tune and her voice.

Amen to that!

It’s soweird. I usually hate girly music. I listen to classical and movie scores all day. She’s just…different. Like Barbie!! :laughing:

I believe she is one of those girls with so much talent. Girly as she sounds, she got the perfect voice for her style of music.
