Whilst browsing, i came across this article that retaliates Paglia's point that Taylor swift and the young starlets of today are not promoting 'strong female personas'. Arguing that Swift is in fact a independent, powerful women that has proved herself to be more than capable of earning what is an extensive fortune and still be grounded and support herself. For the truth is this girl or women however you want to see her; is just 22 years old and yet she is one of the highest earning and paid women in entertainment. So from my point of view if Taylor Swift doesn't embody a 'strong, female persona' then Paglia has some serious explaining to do!

here are six arguments stating that Taylor Swift is worse than Miley

This is probably the WORST article for someone like me to read. Purely because I just LOVE Taylor Swift and couldn't hate Miley Cyrus anymore if I tried. Whoever wrote this is obviously just basing their facts off of the stuff that is touched upon in the media, particularly in relation to the songs Taylor Swift writes. 1. Oh Taylor's songs lack depth? And Miley's don't? Turn on the radio and listen to some of the trash they call 'music' on there and then come back and say that again. Yes, she writes about breakups but at least she can say that she experienced her songs unlike the crap that most popular artists sings who's lyrics were practically pulled out of a hat and strung together. 2. Not ALL her songs are about how she was victimized by her exes, they just so happen to be the ones that make it to the charts. For example, 'Back to December' was written about her previous relationship with Taylor Lautner and that she was wrong for hurting him etc. 'Better Than Revenge' is claimed to be about Camilla Belle after she quickly hooked up with Joe Jonas after he and Taylor split. Her first hit and most famous song 'Love Story' isn't even about a break up! 3. People criticize that Taylor is predictable because she only writes songs about break ups, well if that's so then why doesn't the public gather together and get her non-breakup songs on the charts? Why? Because they prefer the breakup ones. 4. Miley is a self-absorbed, loud, ex Disney star who is trying to break away from her Hannah Montana image and is only making her image worse.

Here's a recent interview The Associated Press did with Taylor Swift that was published by The Salt Lake Tribune. Swift discusses her ideas for the new album, briefly mentions her friendship (not relationship? Hmm) with Ed Sheeran, and the CMAs (she apparently just opened the "Taylor Swift Education Center").

I liked this article because it gives the pros and cons of Taylor Swift, whether you like her or dislike her. The author does a great job stating straight facts about Taylor Swift. I thought that she has dated an outrageous amount of men throughout her career due to all of the breakup songs, but she really has only dated five guys in the past six years!

Similarly to Carolyn Gerig, I also find it irritating when people say they don't like Taylor Swift because she 'dates too many guys'. People tend to base this off the fact that a majority of her MOST POPULAR songs are break up songs and the fact that her relationships are all the media can seem to talk about. In this article, Gearig explains how people who have this view on her need to get their facts straight before making their judgement on her. If you don't like her style of music or you don't think she's a good singer, then by all means have it your way. But if your reasons for not liking her are due to her relationship habits, then you need to read this and have a rethink.

Here is an article that includes a recording of a new song by Taylor Swift: "Sweeter Than Fiction." According to the author, the song will be included in an upcoming British movie called "One Chance," (which I found comical, since it's like One Direction and, well, you know) and was released on iTunes at midnight. Obviously, it was made for the film; it doesn't sound like a typical Swift song (although the lyrics contradict this claim, I'm focusing on the overall sound). Take a listen!

In this article that I found, Victoria's Secret Angel Jessica Hart, declares that she didn't think that Taylor Swift was a good choice for this years fashion show. She doesn't really explain why just saying that she didn't "fit".

I personally viewed this article just as a reminder of the "meaning" and purpose of feminism and how celebrities fit into the feminist movement, if they do, how, and why.

I found this hilarious parody of Taylor Swift and her song Trouble. This Parody focuses on Taylor Swift's love life and sees her ex-boyfriends speaking out against the fact she constantly writes about her break ups. I thought it was a fun way to show how Taylor Swift is represented in the media.

Taylor Swift is renowned for her numerous short term relationships that lead to chart topping songs. Though in this interview she insists that she doesn't want be (isn't) the stereotypical girl who had a long chain of never ending boyfriends. In reality she of course contradicts herself by continuing to live up to this reputation of numerous boyfriends that she has made for herself.

This is a link to a film documentary that was released in 2010 which was aired due to the success of Taylor Swift's first world tour 'Fearless'. The film is based around Taylor herself and how she came to be where she is today, and why she it's he way she is today. The world knows her either as a talented, down to earth country star or as a clingy, possibly even "slutty" celebrity with a long trail of boyfriends behind her. Similarly to Katy Perry: Part of Me, this film shows both the highlights and lowlights of being Taylor Swift both now and before anyone knew her name.

In this article, Joshua Clover discusses Taylor Swift's latest album 'Red'.

As a huge Isosine fan, I was super excited when one of the articles we read posted the mash-up of Taylor Swift & Korn. So, I thought I'd share with all of you guys his newest release: "Little Wrecking Ball." Hope you guys enjoy it. :)

A beautiful mash up between Miley and Mumford. Personally, this mashup makes Miley's song more authentic and powerful.

I chose to post this because it is a brilliant break up song from Lily Allen, it is blunt and to the point whilst still remaining fun. In my opinion this is the ultimate break up song and makes Break up songs by Taylor swift seem very immature.

I just found this amusing. The body swap between Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus is particularly funny as you could say they are known for being the complete opposite in where they stand.
