I personally have never given country music a second look until Taylor came along.

All the bashing of Taylor, a truly sweet, unbelievably talented young girl is truly disgusting. I would love to see how these haters conduct themselves in real life.

Taylor Swift is talented. Taylor has brought many “listeners” to country music. But has she driven some people away from country music?

Sarah – you of course have a right to your opinion, personally I love Taylor and everything she represents and the classy ways in which she expresses herself, but no matter who you are or what you do you’re not going to please everyone and there are people who just aren’t into her music etc. And that’s okay. However ever since she won ETOY I can’t believe how ridiculously rude some people have been about expressing their opinions about her. I was speaking in general and not in specific reference to the comments on this post when mentioning rudeness. Saying she’s not your ‘cup of tea’ is fine. That’s an opinoin and I see no offensive expression in that whatsoever. But I don’t think anyone has any business making the judgement call of whether anyone deserves an award or not. There are awards at the CMA’s and AMA’s that I didn’t love the outcomes for, and while I might’ve said, “Aw man I wanted so-and-so to win,” I would never bash the winner just because they’re not who I was rooting for.
I stand by what I said before ; the industry decided Taylor was worthy of the CMA’s and the fans voted for Taylor’s AMA wins. So whether certain people like her or not the reality is she’s very successful at what she does, both with the industry and with the fans and that’s a fact people can ‘hate’ until they’re blue in the face but it won’t change anything. They need to accept it and find more constructive uses of their time than bashing Taylor Swift.

All i have to say is she will be around for a long time and i do like her her concerts are amazing, so she derserved entertainer of the year and she is a good role model for girls. but her music is more pop and she cannot sing live to save her life. so female vocalist of the year should not have gone to her but what ca you do.

Belle- Awards shows are political and nothing more. Her fans are for the most part young girls who have nothing better to do than sit on the computer and/or text to vote for her. Again she’s not my cup of tea, I dont think she’s as talented as some people think. Im not saying she’s not talented just that she’s not that amazing to me. I’ve heard better singers in some of my local bars, I’ve also heard better song writting. Is that my opinion yes it is. I dont think anyone here is bashing her or saying anything bad about her. As far as manners go that’s a whole different ball game.

Kirsten – I don’t know you and I agree with what you said for the most part but I just thought I’d be friendly and point out that the way you attempted to stress your points came across a little pompus, and people might not be willing to read past that to see the actual good point you made. (i.e. “I know what I’m talking about because I’m Educated and took a class..”) You might not have realized how abrasive and frankly, conceited that sounds. I think your point speaks for itself and didn’t need that addition.
