Acclaim & Disdain

Acclaim
To Taylor Swift, for her recent success at the Country Music Awards. Taylor came away with wins in four out of the twelve award categories, including the coveted Entertainer of the Year honor. Now many of you probably think I’ve gone off the deep end, giving my acclaim to any annoying musician whose fans are mostly teenage girls and overweight middle-aged men who are unhappy with their atrocious or non-existent wives. And yes, I’m aware she’s a horrible singer when she preforms live. But what she has done is marketed herself well and made a name for herself in the process. So even if you don’t like her and you don’t like her music, you can’t deny that she’s hugely successful and thus should be acclaimed for her ability to be marketable.
