Didn't Taylor Swift open up for Brad Paisley once a long time ago?
In what crazy world that we live in does Kim Kardashian have to fly over 300,000 miles in one year?
She was the first of a couple opening acts. I was at that concert and no one knew who she was. Not many people in their seats yet and out comes this mass of blonde hair in cowboy boots with nothing but three band members and she blew the roof off the place.

Was this when she had a strong country/southern accent when speaking, even though she was from Berks County, Pennsylvania?

It was when she was a child, moved to TN and was trying to make it in a profoundly challenging industry, where grow ass adults made you do stupid things to get a record deal or made nasty comments about you. :)

I thought she was a teenager when she moved - not a child.

Nevertheless, she's always been very calculating and look where it got her - biggest pop star in the world success.

I live in Canada, we recognize 16 yr olds as children.

Nashville wasn’t kind to her and still isn’t. Maybe you are right - she doesn’t care as much anymore.

I'm Canadian too - if you're anywhere near Toronto - it's Swift week, they even put up new street signs for her 6 show run renaming a downtown route in her name - Taylor Swift Way.

Temporarily, thank goodness, but boy does she have fans.
 
I mean, look, I’m not a huge fan. I preferred her country stuff. And she doesn’t have the strongest voice or the best dance moves. And she does know what sells. She knows how to market herself. None of that is an accident.

However, while I do think a lot of her stuff sounds the same now, and she benefits from having adoring fans, and she collaborates with others now, you cannot escape that she can string an interesting and unexpected line together. She can come up with a catchy repeat. She has a number of remarkable songs. She continues to write songs for other genres and other artists because she knows the public doesn’t want them from her. And that’s a pretty talented song writer, to my mind, anyway.
