I first have to admit to the fact that I am a total and complete pop culture drop-out; I have never seen an episode of "Sponge Bob", I didn't know what "I'd hit it." meant for the longest time and I really hadn't a clue about who Paris Hilton was, nor what she had done to become so incredibly famous.
A word to the wise, DO NOT google Paris Hilton and if you do, make sure the kids are out of the room.
Anyway, my daughter, who is 8 years old, came home from a playdate signing Taylor Swift songs. She loves the music. One of her friends at school turned her on to the tunage.
My wife, who is actually deeper under the rock than I, asked if I might check into Swift and her apparent appropriateness for 8 year old girls. We'd like to get her a CD for Christmas. Any suggestion for particular Swift releases?
I think that her act looks pretty clean and wholesome. Her lyrics don't seem to be problematic and of what I have heard of the songs, they sound good; a nice mix of pop/country. Nothing all that complex or earth shattering.
I told my old lady, not to sweat it. Taylor Swift is certainly no Britney Spears!
What say my Freeper Friends?
The songs of hers that I have heard are sweet and saccharine, but I would think an 8 year old would be fine.
I don’t know about more Pop than Country. I do know that she won three or four awards at the Country Music awards, entertainer of the year being one of them and I think top album too. I don’t know of any awards she won in Pop.
Did you have to post that bleep and ruin an otherwise good thread?! < :P
