Don't we need to wait for the songs about lesbianism and abortion first?
(I mean. Don't really keep up with anything post-80s incarnation of Degrassi, but last I checked we Canucks still made our corny teen soaps with extra 'controversy'.)

yeah, Taylor is tackling divorce right now. She'll get to diet pills on the next single.

"you made a rebel of a careless man's careful daughter" made me gasp.
no clue how this rings as profound, haven't you seen a teen film?
this song's narrative = the narrative of claire and eli on degrassi as of last thursday's episode, fyi (and it was a narrative of, like, every teen soap ever)

Tape Store has exposed a tragic gap in ILX's familiarity with Degrassi story arcs!

stfu, i'm just using degrassi as a v current example
― christopher dullan (Tape Store), Friday, 6 August 2010 06:21 (2 years ago) Permalink
lol, no, it's fine, and totally appropriate for the Taylor Swift thread (she's pretty clearly mining similar material since she has a similar audience), but i'm not surprised that people aren't super familiar with what constitutes a tired trope in teen dramas.

lmfaoooo i think i watched ~4.5 consecutive hours of back-to-back degrassi a few weeks ago. i felt like i'd just had unprotected sex w/ an hiv+ hooker or something (probably because that was somewhat similar to the plot of at least 3 episodes i had just seen).

From EW interview:
The title track, indeed, is about “the moment in a wedding where you speak now or forever hold your peace.
+
The last two years of your life have been so nuts. Is there a song that reflects the business and change of your last two years?There is, actually. The last song on the album is about looking back on the last two years and how I feel when I do that.
Expectations for that one^
The reporter actually goes into 'critical' mode as well and asks whether Mine is just a Fearless rehash: http://music-mix.ew.com/2010/08/27/taylor-swift-speak-now-new-album/

it's a half-hour live video premiere. when your friday night prospects are yo gabba gabba or half of monsters inc. for the 6th time this week, that's exciting enough.

Watched this video on my local mtv site, and it's a de-countrified version! Ridiculous, considering how mild the country touches are on the original.

Actually I think I could seriously watch the "White Horse" video for hours because I am killed by the moments when Taylor stops lip-syncing. The song alone already sailed me into nervous-breakdown-territory.

Black Crowes frontman Chris Robinson handed out his opinion on country starlet Taylor Swift recently, branding the blond "horrible."
"I find it embarrassing that adults are like, 'Taylor Swift is very talented.' She's not. She might be cute, but she's horrible," Robinson told Nylon Guys, according to Contact Music.
It seems that Kate Hudson's ex-husband takes issue with the production style employed by Swift and her popular counterparts.
"They have stylists who dress them, they make records with producers who play a chord ...... into the computer and it all comes out the same ... when you have computers doing it all for you ... there's no individuality. Singing isn't always about being on key; it's about emotionality (sic)," he argues.
Does Robinson make a point, or is he simply staking Swift? Tell us your thoughts in the comments section below.
