Taylor Swift is a wonderful singer. She has a great sense of humor and almost everyone loves her. I have seen live prefomances and some of them I thought were better than the recorded ones. She does very well compared to other singers. She runs and around the stages for all most three hours and still sings well. Many other singers just sit on a stool and sing. But with Taylor you get a full show!

She needs to quit running around the stage and banging her head at least until she learns how not to blow her breath into the microphone. She definately acts her age. And what was up with her performance with Def Leopard. OMG the only thing missing was the stripper pole, she def needs some lessons on how not to act.

taylor swift is NOTHING like miley cyrus, and why is the pole such a bad thing? she was only like hanging onto it for dear life. She wasn't dancing inappropriately with it or anything. when she first comes out of the trailor and her legs are like... wide, theres an issue, but i see nothing wrong with the pole on the ice cream cart. she needed to hang onto that so she wouldn't fall off. and... sorry for going off topic. taylor rocks... not my favorite artist, but definately right up there :3

Taylor Swift CANNOT sing, and unless you're older than 16 you have to know that. Or at least admit it. The show should have been called "Let's sing the praises of Taylor Swift." It was one of the the worse, if not the worse award show I've ever watched.

Pretty funny.

The video is poking fun at all the goofy suburban kids who like to dress up, get carpooled in their mother's SUV to the mall, then act all gangsta.

Taylor, despite her age, is accomplished enough that she doesn't have to pretend to be anyone. She knows exactly who she is, and can be proud.

That honesty is just one reason the Taylor train has pushed Carrie Underwood -- who has a great voice but has to pretend to be somebody she's not to sing songs she didn't write -- nearly completely off the tracks.

I've seen Taylor live, and think Greg and syngnbartender are full of it.

I've seen Taylor with just a guitar and those big boots put on a performance that some of the other country cuties could never match.

Taylor's got a nice voice -- not the best on the planet -- but it works well with her music.

But it's the honesty that can only come from an artist that writes her own music that separates her from many of the Nashville factory products.

Taylor Swift is NOT in the same league as Carrie Underwood. Taylor has written or co-written a couple of good songs, but she needs to let someone else sing them.

And just to clarify, I love her and T-Pain and I think they did great together. The video is fantastic! I just didn't care for the "live" performance.

I think a cat being thrown into a snow blower would have sounded better but many performers sound horrible live compared to what you hear on their albums. And much like TJMcK said, She is very young and it is difficult to sing while dancing. And everybody knows that nobody is perfect.
