So Taylor was reared in a wealthy not a coal-mining family and this means she can’t make music, Salon?

Does it matter where she started out? She appears to be working hard in her current career and as a result, she has things.

Dear Salon,

Jealousy is not a family value.

It used to be that parents worked hard to give their kids advantages, and that this was seen as a positive. This has become a negative with regressives.

There’s a lot of talent out there. With money or not in their portfolio, is a daunting task to make it big.

The woman obviously has talent. She has fans for a reason.

I don’t really care if she came from wealth or the streets.

This class envy crap being shoveled by the railroad car here is nonsense.

Leftists want an even playing field for women, minorities, and those who don’t come from much.

They sure have a funny way of showing it. Everything is either sex, wealth, or race related. If we’re supposed to think in terms other than these, why is it these things are all the media talks about?

I’m not a big music lover, but I really like a some of Swift’s songs.

At least I used to until I realized how unfair all this is. (Massive) /S

She doesn’t have a drug problem, is not queer and works hard at what she does. Libs #1 target. Sorta like Ted Cruz, as a matter of fact.

Thanks DrewH. Glad we agree here.

And yes, she is a pretty woman. This will sound strange having said that, but she’s not my type. I know that a lot of folks would be happy to hear that. LOL

I don’t follow her music closely, but some of the songs I ran into were just sweet songs for young girls, innocent. Just addressing the normal things teenagers think about or deal with related to love, in simple terms.

Why the rush to take someone down who is providing wholesome entertainment for young girls or boys?

I guess she was suppose to go the Madonna or Britney Spears route.

Dingbats...

Liberals have this problem about “roots”. They think no one can rise above (or evidently below in this case) their roots. The government needs to intervene in all cases. When a Ben Carson or Clarence Thomas comes along they are branded as Uncle Toms. Stereotypes are what liberals are always using to accuse the right as racist, but this article indicates stereotypes can be used by the left at their leisure.

The album has now sold more than 4 million – the kind of number we thought, in the age of file-sharing, we’d never hear again.

Wow, a whole 4 million in album sales. That gives us a good indication of just how much "sharing", or outright theft of copyrighted music is going on these days. In the past, a fair number of smash hit albums would sell 20 million or more, and each year had it's share selling in the 10 million plus range.

So much 'sharing' going on out there.

well her new videos are trying to turn her into Britney, but I don’t know if it will work. She’s kinda awkward at her age...

I’m surprised he didn’t mention “white privilege”.
