The young lady writes all the songs on her albums. I say more power to her.

She has a talent for writing catchy pop tunes. And she happens to be a tall, young, pretty blonde. Nothing but mad respect here.

I really like Taylor and this album is pretty damn good. Doesn't break the mold but it is very solid. Also, the deluxe edition is great, the 3 bonus tracks are easily album worthy and the acoustic version of Haunted is worth the additional cost alone IMO. Glad to see sales were great.

As someone pointed out to me, if you date her...she'll write a song about it. So make sure you bring your "A Game".
I also say for writing her own stuff.

I stand firm in declaring "Love Story" one of the better pop songs of the last few years, despite (or, perhaps, because of) its inclusion of a Bacharach modulation.

Apparently the werewolf from twilight was the only one that didn't get hammered and actually got a apology himself.

... and if it weren't for all of those dirty little communists illegally downloading her music, she would have sold a BILLION copies of this CD.

What's not to love about fun, snarky songs written by a girl who actually looks and talks like someone you'd meet at a local bar?
