Im going to try and say this without being too harsh because I do love Taylor but I am shocked about the awards at the same time. First off, I honestly don't think Taylor is even COUNTRY, shes more like POP. And as a pop singer I love her music very much. I am mostly shocked about female vocalist because it is true that she can not sing as stong as Carrie Underwood. Taylors live performances are a little on the weak side. Her vocal range will never be as good or strong as Carries, Martina's, or Miranda's. I am sorry but its just the truth. Taylor is an amazing songwriter and I think for that and her looks,decent voice, and age has made her so popular. I feel at a loss because Im bashing Taylor but the truth hurts.
