Taylor Swift @ 2008 Country Music Awards
Rising country superstar Taylor Swift attends the 2008 Academy of Country Music Awards held at the MGM Grand Hotel in Las Vegas on Sunday.
At the awards show, Taylor sang, “Should Have Said No,” as she got drenched in water. Check out the video here.
“I wrote this song by myself, and it literally took me just 20 minutes to write before we recorded it,” she says. “I was living every line in this song at the time. I wrote this song about a guy who cheated on me who shouldn’t have.”
The 18-year-old singer won for Top New Female vocalist and dedicated the ACM trophy to her mother.

taylor is amazing in every way
her songs are real
she is beautiful and talented
You r so amazing i’am probably your biggest fan i sang our song for the talent show with my best friend Alyssa!!!
I agree with #8. Taylor is NOT a singer. She is tall, cute, nice hair, nice lips, but that wont last, well…….. the height will last. The studio had to worh the pitch correction machine on overtime. Her songwriting is ok. More of novelty songs than anything. If not for her dad putting 3 million dollars in a studio, she would never have been signed. I wish her the best, but I am afraid that the best has already come and gone.
Her new song You Should Have Said No just hurts my ears. Yeah, the girl can write, but her singing voice is like finger nails on a chalkboard for me. Are the sound engineers listening to this before it’s released to the public. I can’t understand her popularity except for teeny boppers everywhere can relate to her and don’t really know what good music sounds like. She’s a gorgeous girl, but she sure can’t sing. Stick to your true talent Taylor…write songs for other singers.
Can you say overrated Taylor Swift is very overrated 3 or 4 years and she should be gone from the country music landscape.
Just because shes pretty definately does not prove she can sing. Sounds like it after it’s all recorded and edited. However, when she sings live??? CLOSE YOUR EARS. its on of the most awful sounds..she can’t sing live at all. Idk if its her nerves or what. sorry
i like her but she can find someone batter i maen joe jonas come on her is so ugly
Well Im glad to see a few people agree, i nearly turned off the tv when she sang last night, it must have been embarrassing to some of the professionals in that room.
Shes a songwriter?, give me a break. She wears dresses that are made for women 10 years older and she has a good publicist.
Even the tim mcgraw song she talks rathers than sings in spots, thats because shes not a singer, sorry sad but true.
Carrie is that far in front of her and others at the moment you can see who is second ….
Yea she can definately write songs but the singing is definately not there.
Beautiful? Awsome? Talented? Cute?
Don’t make me laugh my ass off, she can’t sing people! Hello?
She looks like a shrew, that could eat corn on the cob through a pickett fence!
Can any of you fans hear or see? Ha-Ha!!!
Taylor swift is a GREAT singer. whoever says she can’t sing , is a hater. they are just mad that They can’t sing. Taylor is pretty and sweet and nice. she can TOTALLY sing!
Taylor Swift is DA BOMB!!!!!!!
casie, she may be sweet and nice but she cannot sing to save her life.
no,i am not angry that i can not sing nor am i a hater. then again, im not the one trying to pass myself off as a “country” artist, she cant sing, its a simple fact.
Taylor Swift DOES NOT SOUND GOOD LIVE !!!. She is horribly out of tune and her voice is really weak and whinny! I actually like alot of her songs and thinks she is really talented song writer. Her voice even sounds nice and sweet on her cds and she is really pretty als well…. Pretty poor live for a pro, hope she get better!
One last thing, anyone who thinks she sings in tune LIVE is some what tone deaf….Sorry it is the truth! I promise you.
I have to apoligise to Taylor after re watching 41st CMA, she isn’t to bad on ballards.. The song when it rained on her was not to bad pitch wise. That romeo one was shocking…
Taylor Swift cannot sing live. I can barely tolerate her voice on CD. Her songwriting is okay, but it’s nothing groundbreaking. I guess it appeals to teenage girls and I’m sure becoming a lot of their friends on MySpace helped. She’s very average looking. I find her kind of funny-looking actually.
Taylor really hurts my ears when she sings live. And I don’t get why anyone thinks she’s beautiful. She looks like an alien and a cat combined with bad extensions. She dresses much too old for her age. I’m so over her.
Everything is overrated about Taylor. She can’t sing, her lyrics are corny and she’s ugly.
Taylor’s hair always looks like spiderwebs.
I think that she sounds okay live from the one or two performances I’ve seen. But she’s not hot at all. She’s too skinny and plain.
Taylor sucks.
Taylor’s way too overhyped and overrated. She can’t sing, and she’s definitely NOT country. She’s nothing special at all; I’m not sure why so many people like her so much. Well, OK, maybe because 95% of her fan base consists of Myspace-loving teenage girls, who are easily brainwashed into thinking she’s the greatest thing out there. They’re too young to know what good music is…at least for now. I don’t think Taylor will last much longer like this though. Soon the whole sensation will fade and she’ll be just a memory…
Thank goodness.
Taylor is indeed beautiful. No surprise there. The only problem is that the poor girl just…can’t sing. When I watch her live [on YouTube or what have you], it seems as though she thinks that she’s hitting all the right notes and dong everything perfectly…but she just…can’t sing.
I don’t understand how not many people have noticed that this gorgeous girl just has no capability of carrying a tune.
