We Officially Know Who Taylor Swift Is Now …
On a car ride back from Myrtle Beach this past weekend, our founding editor was bitching and moaning about having to listen to some “teeny prom crap” on the radio when the lovely Mrs. Sic (his wife) decided it was time for another lesson in raising a little girl.
Another in what we’re sure will be many lessons, obviously.
“Ten years from now your little girl is going to be listening to a song just like this one so you better get used to it,” she said, referring of course to the lovely, nine week old “Jo Bear” (editor’s note: awwww, coochie coochie coo) who was fast asleep in the back seat at the time.
Ironically, this was the song that came on the radio …
Yeah, that’s Taylor Swift singing her crossover hit, “You Belong With Me.”
A few hours later, of course, this song won a Video Music Award for best female video, at which point rapper Kayne West gathered his Hennessey-inspired liquid courage and spawned an international incident by interrupting Swift’s acceptance speech.
“So … does this mean she can’t listen to Golddigger?” Sic asked.
Oh well, the point of all this is we now officially know who Taylor Swift is …

Hated country music – until I had kids and that was all that was “safe” to listen to on the car radio

Long ago I would listen to C&W to laugh at the amusingly corny titles and lines.
“Drop Kick Me Jesus Through The Goalposts Of Life”
With dozens along the lines of, “My True Love Ran Off With My Ex-Wife’s Semi (And I Had Just Filled It With $3 Diesel)”

Taylor Swift is so-o-o-o white a snowflake would leave a shit stain on her.

Sic:
Taylor Swift is my eleven year old daughter’s absolute favorite and I love singing Taylor’s songs (hell, I even learned them on guitar) with Kate. Even though it’s top 40 bubblegum. Get ready, my friend.
