She’s country, but she gets mainstream airplay, she’s clean (wow!)… and four of her concerts just sold out in two minutes!
19-year-old country singer Taylor Swift has only become more popular in recent months, with songs continually in the top 10 of Billboard charts, and winning MTV’s best female video (having that moment swiped by Kanye).
On Friday, tickets to four of her 2010 Fearless tour dates sold out in literally two minutes! According to this article, she was the best selling artist of 2008 and will play 37 shows in the US and Canada and seven down under.
Today, Taylor is all over the charts:
- Her album Fearless is #1 on Country Albums, and actually #7 on the Billboard 200 album charts (it peaked at #1)
- Her title album (Taylor Swift) is #13 on the Country Albums chart (it peaked at #1)
- Her song You Belong With Me is #10 on the Billboard Hot 100 (it peaked at #2)
- Love Story is #9 on the Adult Contemporary chart (it peaked at #1)
- Fifteen is #11 on the Country Songs chart, #67 on the Hot 100 chart, and #53 on the Radio Songs chart
Keep your eyes on this girl. Our kids are watching her.

Hype is right. This girl is just another mass-marketed product of the media machine.
I’ve listened to her quite a bit because my daughters like her. I don’t mind her. I think some of her songs are pretty good. And I’m happy to see she’s kept a clean slate so far.
YUOR SO BEUTIFUL AND TALENTED I WISH I SEE U SOME DAY>……..
