Taylor Swift Too Much Overload

My God! Will Taylor Swift soon be on every channel and radio station? With her new album dropping this week she sure as hell is promoting it to death.

From the time she came out I wasn't really a fan. Very popish songs with a hint of country which are now about 100% pop. I find her songs to be very bland and she seems to constantly write about a "boy and a girl" shit constantly. Also, the songs of the girl with the broken heart. Yet, this woman dates guys with the zeal of a fat man at a buffet table. Now she is dating a Kennedy. Maybe they actually do have something in common.

Now, she has released four, yes, fucking four singles at once from this new album Red and all four have hit number one on iTunes. The four songs all sound a little different - you know, this way you get more people to at least like one song. Corporate music loves this packaging. They may all sound somewhat different, but guess what, they are all about love and relationships and relationships ending and new relationships and a relationship with a bad boy.

Yesterday, she was all over TV including Good Morning America and Live! with Kelly and Michael. Now today we get mini-concert with Taylor showcasing her new songs on Good Morning America.

Holy! Shit America, is this woman really that good? I really don't think she has the greatest singing voice. I heard better voices on Karaoke night at the local bar. He she a master musician? I mostly see her strumming that guitar. I wonder if the damn thing is even plugged in. The band probably hands her an acoustic and tells her, "Don't worry, they can hear your playing."

That fucking annoying songs "We are never ever getting back together" seems to pop up at least once and hour on the radio or the television. This is not a great song by ANY means. The dumbing down of America continues.
