With Taylor Swift’s latest album released, Red has become
produced much controversy over her in the music world. People no longer believe that her music is
strictly country anymore. Her new songs still interest many listeners,
especially those of the younger generation but no longer are of the country
genre. After reading the article, In
Defense of Taylor Swift and Gen-Y Music, you cannot blame the talented and
open-hearted young lady for making such likeable songs. According to Nathan
Wisnicki, that is why we are having a hard time dealing with Taylor Swift.
Swift as both a composer and songwriter
is becoming both more specific and universal at the same time. She is now
moving away from the traditional “true country” she was originally associated
with and moving towards the interest of the today’s listeners. Taylor at age 22
is truly artistry in the making, already being one of the finest record-makers
in the world. Swift everything she can
to create realistic songs the vast majority of us can relate to. I personally
was always a Taylor Swift fan, simply because the uniqueness of her lyrics. I
don’t like to consider myself the traditional teen pop music fan but I do like
Swift’s first number one hit, “We are Never Ever Getting Back Together.”
Throughout the article, author
Nathan Wisnicki points out that Taylor Swift is really truly something special
to the music world. She is not just popular, but very popular with today’s
demographics and teenage girls. With her latest album now out, I proves she is
no long just country, but transitioning into the pop culture too. However, I don’t
think her fans will complain one bit since she is just renovating the way we
see her music.
