After the recent release of Taylor
Swift's new album, Red, there has been much controversy over whether or not she
is heading in the right direction from country music to pop. Swift has many devoted fans who will listen
to her music regardless of the direction she pursues, but there are many that
question her abilities as far as true talent.
In his article, In Defense of Taylor Swift and Gen-Y Pop Music, Nathan
Wisnicki dedicates himself to positively advertising Taylor’s music.
Personally, I have always been on
the edge with Taylor Swift, simply because I feel that her vocal talents are
not as good as her songwriting. However,
Nathan raised some great points. Taylor has outdone herself and has become
truly popular in a classy way. Over and
over, she continues to produce number one singles. She does everything herself and commits herself
to producing heart felt lyrics that the vast majority can relate to. I believe that has been the key to her
success. She has honest communication
with her audience, and that is more than luck.
I think that Nathan raises a lot of
great points and puts her in the light that her hard work and dedication
deserves. She has unbelievable talent. Yet, as far as country music goes her last
album was far from it. If she is moving
away from country music that may be the best thing for her, but country music
fans are going to criticize her for it.
