I got speak now for Xmas, its a good album, no complaints at all. I like Taylor, like a few songs from the earlier albums, in particular Tim McGraw.

I wondered as I drove to work what other bands do Taylor Swift fans like. Broadly she is a country artist, very broadly but country radio play her and her albums chart in the country charts. Do you, her fans like other country music or do you not listen to modern country, I am thinking maybe Brad Paisley, Kenny Chesney, Toby Keith? Or even the lighter stuff, Sugarland and Rascal Flatts, and then of course Lady Antebellum and The Band Perry. Or is Taylor as country as you go?

I appreciate the arguments some people may have and say those artists aint country but this isnt a discussion on defining modern country music, more the listening habits of Taylor Swift fans.

Those maybe true, but I am not out to criticise, I kind of like her but my tastes are usually strictly country, I was more just wondering the kind of music her fans would also be into.

I'd say it's around 50/50 perhaps. A lot of them may prefer it because they class it as Pop but yeah a lot of people would prefer it because they class it as Country.

What do these individuals have to do with Taylor? She is miles more talented then them. Young audience maybe...

I do not listen to country at all. Only Taylor. Huge fan of Pink Floyd other than that.

Thats one of the things I like about country music, the morals, and the unpretentiousness and the artists I like, about having fun.
