For all those Taylor Swift haters out there, you know who you are…you have emailed me numerous times….. Don’t get too excited about Taylor jumping to the dark side….I mean pop side.  Taylor insists that she is county.

Unless you have been living under a rock for the past few days then you know that Taylor took home Favorite Pop/Rock Artist at the AMA’s Sunday night but this won’t change a thing.  Taylor tells CNN, “I think a country song is when you are singing about being proud of your life.  I sing about love and boys, and that’s my life. So that’s what fascinates me — feelings. And so I think if you’re singing and writing songs about the way that you live your life, that’s a country song.”

So here is my advice to all of you Taylor haters.  Quit hatin’ on the girl!  She has brought more attention to country music over the last year than anyone else in the genre.  Think of all of the people who were not country music fans before they saw or heard a Taylor Swift song.   Now they are being exposed to other country music because of her and she just may be giving one of the artists you love new fans along with her success.
