The words "Taylor Swift" and "real music" should never be used in the same sentence together.

Ever.

She's just the latest in a long line of pop princesses thrust upon the ignorant masses by a music industry that more and more tries to appeal to the lowest common denominator to maximize sales and improve their bottom line.

Then who should would you use in the sentence?? Because if you can't use Taylor, then I can argue that you can't use The Beatles, Michael Jackson, or Aretha Franklin.

While the three artists you mentioned all had people in the industry who either wrote or produced some of their hits/records, they all had a sound, style and substance unique to their own, and all either broke new ground or were highly infulential in the industry.

Taylor on the other hand is the exact opposite of that.. her music is indistinguishable from all the othe pop / rock candy crap out there today.  You could swap her songs with almost any other female pop star and wouldn't be able to tell the difference.

Taylor Swift completely broke ground. She's responsible for country music crossing over to  pop radio. If it wasn't for Taylor country songs wouldn't get pop airplay, she is single handedly saving the dying music industry.

Man that's some strong Kool-Aid you're drinking!  Apparently you've never heard of Garth Brooks, Shania Twain, George Strait, Kenny Rogers, Reba McEntire, Dolly Parton, The Dixie Chicks (before they imploded), John Denver, Johnny Cash... and some dude named Elvis..

They've never had a song cross over to pop radio, besides Shania. She had 2 or 3 hits, but Taylor is the first country artist to have multiple #1s on pop radio, and on the hot 100 alone.
