"I'm gonna let you finish but..."

I would be amiss not to comment on the ever expanding reign of one, Taylor Swift. I don't hate her. I don't hate her music. I do hate the number of awards she is getting. Entertainer of the year? Seriously? Female vocalist of the year? Above Reba and Martina no less. Artist of the year? Above Michael Jackson for crying out loud. I don't deny that she is talented. Her songs are catchy and truly speak to the heart of the tween population. This is where I become confused. Are there really that many fifty year old men out there buying Taylor Swift's albums? Sure they may buy them for their daughter and maybe even take her to a show, but I don't think that warrants a claim to the heart of the baby boomer generation. Point in case, stop talking about her, stop awarding her. It isn't doing her career any good for her face to be everywhere you turn. Eventually the public will get tired of that glittery, pink guitar.
