Why don't we just start discussing Beyonce as a headliner right now?? What's the difference really? Mainstream pop artist headliner that would take the fest in a different direction that is not only unlikely but unnecessary.
My comment about Wolf being a troll was tongue in cheek, but I am having a hard time taking this thread seriously. The nearest approximation to TS (at 'roo) I can think of is Lily Allen, and she wasn't a contender for a headlining gig. Taylor Swift has no business performing in any other capacity rendering her unnecessary at 'roo. That's obvious and Wolf ought to know it. I don't care if he likes her, that's his business...
this thread is pointless just like the previous Lady Gaga threads and the Weird Al thread...just dumb....
Why DON'T we just start discussing Beyonce as a headliner?
No. A thousand times no. Look, I'm usually the first one to leap up and defend semi-pop music on it's merits (see: Kanye West, Lady Gaga, et al), but Taylor Swift is flat out garbage. Her lyrics sound like they were written in some 12 year old girl's sparkly notebook with unicorn stickers all over it. To say nothing of the fact that she writes music that is, at best, completely and utterly dishonest. All these songs about not being the popular girl, etc. - GET THE F*CK out of here.
F*ck it. Deadspin.com just put up the "Hater's Guide to Taylor Swift" yesterday, which I'm reposting below.
Apropos of nothing, can I unsubscribe to Taylor Swift? Is that possible? I'd really like it to be possible.
I don't quite know how I ended up with all this Taylor Swift in my life. FACT: Eighty-five percent of all advertisements and magazine covers are now mandated by law to feature Taylor Swift, or at least some portion of her hair crimping. Anytime there's an award show or special live presentation or a Kia dealership grand opening, you can pretty much count on Swift showing up with her guitar and undermining the days and days of effort that Autotune put into creating one of her albums. F*ck, even Collinsworth spent last week's Sunday Night game gushing about her. I can't get away from this biznatch. I even know she dates Jake Gyllenhaal. AND OMG BEEFY NECK GUY FROM TWILIGHT TOTALLY BROKE HER HEART!
I don't understand all the fuss. Taylor Swift makes training bra music. Her Leno is one step removed from a Fisher Price Little People CD. Every record she sells should come with a complimentary pack of Spree. If you're over fourteen, you shouldn't want anything to do with it. But no, every f*cking adult music critic on Earth fawns over this girl and protects her like she's some kind of golly gee forest pixie. SHE'S SO MATURE FOR AGE! SHE HANDLED THAT KANYE SITUATION SO WELL! SHE'S SO ARTICULATE! No, seriously. Someone wrote that.
Swift's thoughtful honesty and surprisingly articulate take on life should be commended.
What is this, a f*cking report card? HOORAY! SHE'S ALMOST 21 AND HAS THE ABILITY TO SPEAK! And since when is this chick honest? Have you heard some of these lyrics?
But she wears short skirts, I wear t-shirts She's cheer captain and I'm on the bleachers Dreaming bout the day when you wake up and find That what you're lookin for has been here the whole time
First of all, is there anything honest about that? This woman is a f*cking ROCK STAR and a millionaire. She's, like, ninety stages above the cheer captain. Cheer captains are quacking special ed students compared to her. And she never wears quacking t-shirts. She wears $10,000 Halston gowns and all kinds of other sparkly Leno. Some producer in Nashville probably made her write this so that fat Jenny in the seventh grade out there would have music that "speaks to her". And there's nothing mature about this sh*t. It's the soundtrack to a trip to Spencer Gifts. Anyone could write that. I could write that.
It's late at night and he's sendin' you a text But you just bought your first box of Kotex He doesn't know you're a bloody mess But if he saw your crotch, he could probably guess…
It's not that hard, okay? This f*cking Kanye thing has made everyone treat Swift like she's some precious doll they bought at the Franklin Mint. Meanwhile, Justin Bieber and his fans get made fun of (rightfully so) by quacking EVERYONE. And Bieber actually IS a kid! He's not even voting age, the way this woman is. But somehow you're an assh*le if you hate Taylor Swift? That's bullsh*t. Bullsh*t. Just because she's the official spank bank material for every white assh*le on the Texas Rangers roster doesn't mean I have to give a crap.
People, I am here to grant you permission to hate Taylor Swift at will. You can go right ahead and laugh at her horrible singing and hope she ends up blowing local Tennessee DJs in lieu of record company payola handouts. Go ahead. Don't feel bad. She's a big girl. She can handle it. She'll probably even be able to make a really sh*t-y album out of it.
How dare I offend your sensibilities by suggesting music I like. I should have been like u and suggested a beating for T$
For the record it's not like I'm claiming this is amazing at all. Speak Now is a solid 8/10 in my opinion and clearly the best of her career. I'm just saying if I'm AC/S I would at least consider Swift. She's clearly talented and writes all her own songs. She'd be a huge draw for the "KoL crowd" as I like to call them.
you're in the "kol" crowd apparently. actually worse. i would understand it more if you were praising them. but taylor swift? come on. i'm giving you lots of credit and just believing this is an elaborate joke.
I am well on record as stating that I couldn't stand Taylor Swift right up until Red, and that I didn't become a full blown fan until 1989. In fact, I'll double down and say that I still hate pretty much every single thing she did up until those two albums. Her earlier work was trash - she was a pop star masquerading as a simple down-home country girl. It wasn't until she ditched that bullshit and embraced the fact that she's a massive pop phenomenon that she became awesome.
Sure sure, pal. Whatever helps you sleep at night.

Sang will always be Sang.
I still don't believe that he seriously liked Taylor Swift.
