Taylor Swift was named Entertainer of the Year at the Country Music Awards last week and that pretty much said it all. She truly is the Entertainer of the Year.
She is the face of country music. She is the face of pop music. Best of all, she is the face of teen celebrity and that is a sigh of relief for many moms of young girls right now. She is a great role model. She is a talented artist who writes her own music, plays the guitar, and sings. (She doesn’t just dance and lip sync around the stage in tight clothes.) She twitters and really appreciates her young fans. She likes her parents and has a great relationship with her mom who is always with her at press events and appearances. She is not drinking underage or hanging out all night at dance clubs. She also showed us that she has a wicked sense of humor with this fun opening monologue on Saturday Night Live.
I opened the mailbox today to find her staring at me (in 3-D!) as the cover girl on InStyle Magazine. She looks gorgeous and glamorous and, might I add, age appropriate. I especially love that she is super tall (5’11”) and has curly hair (“I love it when girls rock curly hair!” she says in InStyle) just like my baby girl Annabel. The article confirms again that she doesn’t drink or smoke and that her answers to questions “come out in long, perfectly formed sentences mostly free of ‘ums,’ ‘likes,’ or slang.” I pray she understands how important it is to be a great role model. I hope she remains untainted by all her fame and fortune.
Taylor will also make an appearance in the new romantic comedy “Valentine’s Day” which opens nationwide February 12th. It’s from the director of “Pretty Woman” and stars a megawatt cast of A-listers including Julia Roberts, Patrick Dempsey, Jamie Foxx, Jennifer Garner, Anne Hathaway, Ashton Kutcher, Jessica Alba, and Jessica Biel. But the only buzz I’ve read about this movie so far is that Taylor Swift kisses that boy from the “Twilight” movie. (!)
This truly is the Year of Taylor Swift.,
