The Infectious Taylor Swift Zeitgeist
Mar 9th, 2010 by dino-ray
As I continue to feed my reluctant obsession with Taylor Swift, I continue to stumble upon things that add kindling to the fire of sugarcoated country pop – and some friends help me along the way.
Within the past couple of months, I have seen her take a crack at comedy on Saturday Night Live, listened to her attempt a duet with Stevie Nicks on the Grammys and watched her in Valentine’s Day.
More recently, I saw Poreotix perform a routine to Taylor’s Love Story on America’s Best Dance Crew which prompted me to learn that song on the guitar. Then, my friend Janet texted me:
I’m in a car and the driver turned it up for taylor swift without me having to ask!
Today, my friend Jeff shared this video with me to help me forget about the fact that I actually needed to do work at my office:
It’s like Taylor Swift…but more gay.
Taylor Swift is like this pop culture virus and as much as I hate to admit it, I am happy to be infected.
I’m sorry, I just can’t support the Taylor Swift thing. First of all, it feels disloyal to my girl Gaga. Second, the songs: They just aren’t good enough.
It pains me to write this comment.
