To those of you who are enjoying this song may I also recommend to you this one, it is pretty much the same thing:

That is one hair's breadth away from being sheer comedy. If someone wanted to make a parody of the silliest, most infantile and worthless aspects of pop music, with a bit of extra tweaking, this could really nail it.

Not even close to the energy, hook, charisma, and uplifting message to the target.

Funny thing is that parents pay this guy to write and produce these songs. The songs then turn their daughters into musical pariahs. If I recall correctly, Black's father started coming with her to music award shows to protect her from her "haters".

Just as a warning to viewers of this video: I loved it so much that I bought a panda costume and wore it to the park where I began dancing with underage girls, hoping afterwards we could share a game of Monopoly.

While this seems like a great idea in the video, I can tell you that my local police took quite another view...

As the father of 3 girls (15-12-10), Taylor Swift is a far cry from some of the crap they subject me to.......they probably feel the same way about The Beatles etc that I force feed them

While my old ***** isn't in her target audience, what I love about Taylor Swift is the way she treats her fans. She seems like a complete sweetheart, is beautiful inside & out & I would be very proud if she was my child.

As for her music, she's young...it's fun...more power to her !

I liked it. Call it catchy humble pop. It fits her.

I made it to 60 seconds of the vid...

I've always said, there's nothing wrong with a little good pop music...that wasn't it...

That was a bubble gum mediocre tune, along with a razzle dazzle video promoting Taylor Swift's physical appearance...

She's certainly not the first to get rich with the formula, and I'm sure she won't be the last...

Shake it to the bank, honey...

I never knew you were the supreme authority on what is and isn't good music.

She was rich well before she went a more pop oriented direction.

Yes, because it's impossible for women to have both looks and talent.

No, I'm just the authority on what I personally think is and isn't good music...as we all are...

Her musical direction is irrelevant to me...I'm not a fan...there's that pesky personal choice again...



Yes, because it's impossible for women to have both looks and talent.

No, it's not at all impossible for women to have both looks and talent...
Swift just isn't one of them in my personal opinion...it's just hard to get around that we're all allowed to have personal opinions on music, isn't it?

Then perhaps you should consider portraying your opinions as just that, instead of stating them like facts.

Well, people here state every day what artists and music they enjoy. Some state what they don't like...

I certainly don't consider their statements as fact, and I certainly don't take offense if their opinions differ from mine...

I may pay good money to see an artist you wouldn't go to see if they were performing free in a Wal Mart parking lot...and vice versa...

Lighten up, Francis...
