I never thought the day would come when I would acknowledge that I like modern music.
A year and a bit ago, in December of 2008, I decided that I would solicit music suggestions. A week afterwards, I acknowledged that I appreciated Viva la Vida and soundtrack music.
In the time since then, I have become an aficionado of Taylor Swift’s country pop music, among other artists. (I’ve also developed a liking for Owl City’s Fireflies and Vanilla Twilight.)
Swift’s award-winning You Belong with Me deserved its prize.
It is worth acknowledging that her songs, with few exceptions, are almost exclusively about rosy romance (think Love Story, You Belong with Me) or broken hearts (e.g. Picture to Burn, White Horse). Which means that they’re about the same thing.
Love Story is quite overplayed, so I’ll leave you with Fifteen.
Watch more Taylor Swift music videos at VEVO or track my taste in music.
