“Joe-”If country radio refuses to give this spins they need to ban Carrie too. lets face it…her 2 singles from “Blown Away” have been pure pop as well.” Carrie can sing and Taylor cannot. Even at 22 her voice has not matured-very child like. She is 22 and to be singing that praddle is just like a 12 year old throwing a fit. Why must Taylor fans always bring up Carrie if there is a bad comment said about her. There is no comparison-one can sing and it’s not Taylor. I listened to the song and it is horrendous-definitely not country worthy and pop all the way.
Kevin-great review-two thumbs up-I couldn’t agree with you more.

Oh my God. Please stop pulling Carrie in a review of a Taylor song. The song is awful. Period. Comparing the two is unnecessary.

I’d have to agree with you this one. My biggest problem with this song is that is pure pop and has been at the top of the country charts since its release! Really hoping it won’t win a CMA, but won’t be suprised when it does. It seems so unfair to me that this would win over true country artists such as Eric Church, Blake Shelton, or the like.

I just heard this song (pretty much against my will because I try to avoid Taylor Swift songs like the plague). I realize I’m biased against her to begin with, but Sweet Jesus, this song is awful. If this is indicative of her growth as an artist, then she has taken a huge (and I mean gargantuan) step backward. This is so bad I almost feel kinda jerk-y for hating it so much – but not quite. Giving this a D is an insult to all the other songs that got D’s.

Whether she has mixed the song country or pop isn’t the issue with me. What is the issue, however, is that her voice isn’t any less irritating than it was three years ago, and that her song subject matter seems to be either stuck in neutral, or in reverse. She’s going to turn 23 before this year is over, but I wouldn’t know it from this song. She is fast running out of time (IMHO).

This is pretty much how I feel. This song feels like a regression, and that’s disheartening.

I think Carrie just meant when she sings a song. It’s done. I think it all stems from “Before He Cheats” when pop stations wanted to play it but wanted it changed to take out the banjo, steel elements. But she stood her ground and said no. Eventually pop radio played it anyway, and it was her biggest hit ever. By “dumb down”, that means you take pride in your song choice and it’s arrangement and to change out instruments to suit another genre, means that you don’t have the faith in that song to begin with. But that’s her choice and her decision. It’s not saying that other country artists should do the same.

In regards to the remixing discussion – I think it’s going too far to say a song in one genre is “art” and the same song remixed to another genre isn’t. Whether *specific* songs are “art” or not is a different story, but I don’t think remixing necessarily ruins the artistic integrity of a song.

Having listened to this song several times now here at Country Universe, I really have to wonder whether or not Taylor is actually going to start acting her age and not her shoe size.
