but I appreciate the support and applaud her efforts. Then today I heard a guest on MSNBC say that Taylor is pretty sharp and knew what she was doing. Apparently those girls have moms who spend big bucks to send their kids to shows and the moms go with them and with other moms. Those moms all add up and many may turn Dem due to this.

Of course a lot can happen in 4 weeks...look at Oct 2016 if you need a reminder. I would like to forget that election but I know we can never underestimate the corrupt evil of the GOP.

Many of her earliest fans are in their 20s and 30s, and some of us are even in our late 40s and early 50s.

Another guest said, "Now all the Dems need is Dolly Parton to do the same and the Dems will have a real chance of winning".

I wonder how many fans Kanye has who registered after his recent SNL speech?

Say what you want about her songs: She was running her own companies in her mid 20's, and signing lots of paychecks.

Would be disliked here and Taylor lauded. That will kill Kanye once he sees what’s going on.

especially at her young age. Even though I didn’t recognize many of her songs, the production was stunning. A true professional and an example for many young women to follow. And remember she fought back when a DJ got to handy. Good for her!
