Thread: Taylor Swift Insists She's Country

If you go by what Taylor Swift says country music is in that article, then EVERY dang song in the world is country.

Its a lot about sound too, not just lyrics to songs. She doesnt SOUND country at all when she redoes her songs as POP! Thats called selling out. Im sorry, but IMHO, she is NOT a true country artist. And the proof is in the pop award.

EDIT: And she really should go to college.

I am too Country. I AM I AM I AM I AM!!!



No, REALLY. I really am.



Stop laughing.

Yeah, every song is about life and how people live it.

Did she say she wasn't going to college? :-o

Taylor Swift may have just won the American Music Award for Favorite Pop/Rock Artist, but she maintains she's still country to the core.

"I think a country song is when you are singing about being proud of your life," Taylor tells CNN. "I sing about love and boys, and that's my life. So that's what fascinates me -- feelings. And so I think if you're singing and writing songs about the way that you live your life, that's a country song."

Wow, never thought of the soundtrack to 8 Mile as being Country. My bad.

*too many comments to post....*

I wonder if her parents are proud of her "I'm not going to college" life. lol

She isn't Country even if she didn't remix her songs because they are already Pop songs without the remix. It's not selling out if you were never Country in the first place.

And I guess I'll be nice and not mention what else I think about her.

I believe......
that she isn't now , never was , and never will be country no matter how loud she screams it from the rooftops.

"I think a country song is when you are singing about being proud of your life"

not quite but nice try..

I sing about love and boys, and that's my life."

thats all that your life is? that's sad then.

if THAT'S what country music is, then iron maiden is country too. they sing about war, history and politics. that's life too.

Well Taylor, you won me over

i came here to make a whitty comment, however, you all have seem to said it all.

all i can do is shake my head.....

At first I wasnt upset with Taylor, because she didnt vote for the awards so I was mad at the people who did. Now Im mad at her.

The fact she won best POP artist says it all

What a sell-out Kanye West is. He's supposed to be in country music too!!!111!!!1!!!

eminem sings of where he came from with pride, about hating his mama and coming from the hood. does that make his style country too now?

There's just too many jokes to make.

There are no denying the numbers that she has put up across the board, but Taylor honey you are country by label only.
