Taylor Swift

[theweeklybacon.livejournal.com]

I hadn't heard Taylor Swift until her Saturday Night Live appearance a few weeks ago. Her voice was a little off, which my boyfriend hated, but it reminded me of Liz Phair so I liked it. I've been completely obsessed with the "Fearless" album since then and I still think the Liz Phair comparison is apt. She is more a songwriter and entertainer than a good singer, but she does have an appealing voice. Lyrically, I find some of her lines clunky, like they were written by a 17 year old, which I assume they were. Others I find very touching and sometimes clumsy in a good way, kind of like Aly & AJ. I also loved her sparkly guitar on SNL and it was nice that she looked like she was having a great time.
