Taylor Swift, Kellie Pickler, and Gloriana at Xcel Energy Center
Taylor Swift is a young, comely singer-songwriter with a disarming handle on how to write songs that make comeliness just a small part of the package. She’s nominally a country artist, but there’s very little twang to her style. Instead, Swift favors lovelorn tales of teen love that actually earn the aspirations toward wisdom—not to mention the scads of awards she picked up in 2009. And her hooks dig deep, to the places where lovelorn tales fester most fruitfully. Swift continues to tour behind her six-time platinum 2008 album Fearless, though a follow-up is expected later this year.
