Taylor Swift Irons Wrinkles for Rascal Flatts



Taylor Swift is keeping the guys in Rascal Flatts young. The teen superstar is opening for the trio on their Bob That Head tour, and according to Flatts' bassist/piano player Jay DeMarcus, her electric stage show has inspired them.

"It's neat for us to see somebody as young as she is have such an energy and zeal for the music business," DeMarcus tells Dial-Global. "It kind of has re-energized us to be real honest. To have somebody out there before us kicking our butts every night and challenging us to go out there and be the best that we can be is a really great thing to have."

"He's trying to say she's like our shot of Botox," adds guitarist Joe Don Rooney.

The Bob That Head Tour continues through September. See tour dates on Tourtracker.com.

I saw her opening for Rascal Flats recently. Her voice sounds better on the radio - she sounds pretty flat in concert. That being said, the girl knows how to work a crowd. She's gorgeous, engaging and fun to watch and she is a very talented song writer. What the heck? I think it's great that she's made something of herself at such a young age.

Hey I got a question for all you Taylor Swift bashers.
If you can sing better then her where is your recording contract?.
Let's see you pencil necked geeks out do her in the country arena and see if your album can remain number one for as long as hers has.
Until that day happens back off her case.

OMG someone else gets it!!! When ever she comes on the radio, I seriously have to change the station.... Second of all, she thinks she is all that, but I think she is goofy.....

She ain't go nothing on many singers, heck I like Jessica Simpson better that this.... But they ain't got nothin on Gretchin Wilson....

TAYLOR SWIFT IS AN OVERRATED - OVERPAID LITTLE GIRL WHO HAS NO SINGING VOICE....SHE HAS PROBABLY THE WORST ANNOYING VOICE NEXT TO MILEY CYRUS (AKA HANNA MONTANA)....TAYLOR HAS A GREAT MANAGEMENT TEAM BEHIND HER. GO FIGURE.
