The musician at the head of the country pop movement is undoubtedly Taylor Swift, not saying she is the 1st one to do it but she is the 1st one to really have success at it. Not only has she had success with top-40 radio but she recently did a taping with MTV’s TRL which is a rarity and al the majority unheard of in country music.

a lot of individuals look at country pop as a terrible thing that it should be denounced or looked at as cheapening the rich culture of country music but if you look at the sales charts it is in my opinion advocate ing country artists as a whole as it is exposing a lot of young audiences and audiences that can never have given country music a occasion now to give a listen to an performer prefer Taylor Swift, Chuck Wicks, or Rascal Flatts then move on to other artists such as Alan Jackson or Jason Aldean who are more traditional country.

If you attend a Taylor Swift show, if you could get tickets that’s, there are thousands upon thousands of screaming young girls who are not only purchasing her albums but they are purchasing all kinds of merchandise and Taylor is famous for staying hours after a show to make sure anybody at all who wants something signed will get it, and best of all she takes her time with each individual making them feel special which really makes her special. No w if she could get over the hump of a sophomore slump and her possibly outgrowing her fan base then she’ll be around for years to come.

If you look at the sales charts when all of the music business is down country music is staying strong and evolving to take over part of mainstream is something country has tried for a long time and they’re officially accomplishing it now, so may be some pop in my country music is not as bad as I think or many individuals think.
