A Song No One Would Expect Me to Like

I'm going to attempt to do this memey thing called 30 Days of Song. I will not post this every day, because oh-my-pants-I'm-bored-already. Instead I'll post once or twice a week, as I feel like. So there. I am unrepentantly stealing this from Jen O. at My Tornado Alley. She rocks. I'm not sure if she stole it from somewhere, but here we go. 

A Song that No One Would Expect Me to Like

I like to think that I have a little bit of a rep. I mean, not like street cred, but still. I'm still holding onto grunge. I still believe that alternative is a thing. I'm indie. Ish. Anyway, I'm not the pop princess type, is what I'm saying here.

So, here's the thing... I really love Taylor Swift. And wait, before the yelling starts, let me say a few things. First of all, as a mom, I think it's hard not to love Taylor. She sings clean songs and wears clothes that cover her butt. She's not trampy or trashy or in and out of trouble. She's sort of the always-in-love girl, but you know what, so was I when I was her age. She'll grow out of it.

But even as an adult, I find her stuff sort of... refreshing. It's just kinda straight forward happy-making stuff. (And, okay, I'll admit it. I really want her to read Romeo and Juliet, because there is no way that she understands that everyone dies in the end. Or that they were 14. Or that it's basically a really screwed-up suicide pact.) But anyway. Love her.

Ok, so at the risk of revealing how ridiculously out of touch I am, this is the first Taylor Swift song I've listened to, and she is adorable! Gonna go find some others now... :)

She does seem mature beyond her years, too. Cute as the dickens at that.

I kinda love Adele. Is that oK???

Joni - I think that's the advantage to having a boy. And, you know, living in another country. :)

Suze - I think it's totally acceptable to love Adele. I can't get enough Adele, honestly.
