Good job, lady! I'm going out and BUYING her album today. Probably not from Apple, either . . .

my daughter asked me how she looked in her outfit the other day....

...I said, 'kinda like taylor swift....'

serious daddy brownie points for that one....

Taylor Swift certainly has the market leverage to be effective; given her huge and devoted fan base, I wouldn't want to be on her bad side in anything to do with the music business. Good for her, sticking up for artists who aren't superstars and who couldn't fight for themselves. She's my pop star hero of the week.

I agree; she did a lot of people a service here.
