Ahead of the midterm election, that changed when in a rare move, Swift endorsed two Democratic candidates running in the state of Tennessee. Swift said at the time she had been "reluctant" to voice her political opinions in the past, but "due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years, I feel very differently about that now.

Fearless (Taylor Swift album) - Wikipedia Fearless is the second studio album by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift. The album was released Taylor Swift: Fearless November 11,by Big Machine Records. Swift wrote most of the songs during the time when she was promoting her self-titled debut studio album performing as an opening act for other country artists. Swift also made her debut as a record producerco-producing all songs with Nathan Chapman. Fearless is a country pop album that incorporates elements of crossover Taylor Swift: Fearless that commentators found appealing to a broader, mainstream audience. It incorporates acoustic instruments such as banjofiddle Taylor Swift: Fearless, and guitar in its production, and lyrically depicts Swift's perceptions of her romantic relationships. The album received generally positive reviews from critics, who commended Swift's songwriting ability resulting in radio-friendly songs. The Grammy for Album of the Year made Swift, then 20 years old, the youngest artist to win the award at the time. Fearless spent 11 weeks atop the US Billboard and was the best-selling album of in the United States, making Swift—19 years old at the time—the youngest artist to have the best- selling album of a calendar year. The album is certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America for earning over 10 Taylor Swift: Fearless album-equivalent units in the United States. Worldwide, it is one of the best-selling albums of the 21st centuryhaving sold over 12 million copies worldwide. Fearless spawned five singles, including two successful crossover hits " Taylor Swift: Fearless Story " and " You Belong with Me ", which reached the Taylor Swift: Fearless positions on record charts worldwide. When later signed to Big Machine RecordsSwift compiled her Taylor Swift: Fearless Swift album of material written during her publishing contract, and expected to do the same for her second album. She said, "I've been very selfish about my songs. I had this dream of this project [ Taylor Swift ] coming out for so many years now that Taylor Swift: Fearless just stockpiled. I'm so happy that I did because now we have a second album full of songs and a third album full of songs, and I don't have to lift a finger. I'll find a quiet place in some room at the venue, like the locker Taylor Swift: Fearless. As a result of writing subsequent to touring, Swift self- penned most of the material. If Taylor Swift: Fearless in Arkansaswho's there Taylor Swift: Fearless write with? In the writing process, she was heavily influenced by Sheryl Crow 's candidness and truthful, yet vulnerable storytelling, and Brad Paisley 's touching, yet humorous nature; she opened for Paisley. Primarily, she did not want to alienate her fans with songs about life on the road, for she could never relate to songs of the sort when younger. She continued, "I really try to write Taylor Swift: Fearless about what I feel and guys and love because that's what fascinates me more than anything else — love and what it does to us and how we treat people and how they treat us. So pretty much every song on the album has a face that I associate with it. Adding it did not "take much [for her] to get that sort of emotion out in a song", [8] she explained physical intimacy did not have to resort to kissing to feel disappointment, Taylor Swift: Fearless, or heartbreak. Having grouped over 75 songs, [2] recording with Nathan Chapmanwho produced all but one song on Taylor Swift[9] commenced soon after having completed touring with Strait; [10] in the process, Swift made her record producing debut. Sound-wise, it's the kind of songs I like to write, which are country songs, but I guess because of the subject matter and because of some of the melodies I love to use, I guess they have crossover appeal. Swift conceived the title track with Rose and songwriter Hillary Lindsey while touring. It is based on an instrumentation with acoustic guitarfiddleand banjo [14] and lyrically speaks of taking courage during a date. Feeling inspired by William Shakespeare 's Romeo and Julietone her favorite narratives, she self-penned the entire track on her bedroom floor in approximately twenty minutes. The singer then made a phone call to Rose asking for her aid in continuing the song, which was completed in approximately forty-five minutes. Out of the sympathy she felt towards him, Swift developed a concept for a song, and later developed the story line in which she was in love with him. In the ballad " Breathe ", the accompaniment consists entirely of string instruments[24] and Swift singing in regards to love-gone-wrong scenario. The two Taylor Swift: Fearless a writing session to coincide with Caillat's upcoming concert in Nashville, Tennessee[16] where Taylor Swift: Fearless composed "Breathe" about Swift losing a friend very dear to her. Raged by his disparaging and inconsistent behavior towards her, [16] she stormed into Rose's house, and vented about the scenario. She described how she grew tired of his attitude and the discrepancies between his sayings and actions, among other concerns. They consequently put all her ramblings into "Tell Me Why". He was able to relate Taylor Swift: Fearless the plot, being that he is usually the complicated person in relationships. The two approached the song from two different angles while writing it, which she described to be incredible. It is an understated ballad, and the only song on Fearless to be written in simple verse form. The song was inspired Taylor Swift: Fearless an incident during middle school, when Swift called several of her peers on the phone and asked if they wanted to go shopping with her. However, every girl had a different excuse for why they couldn't go. Eventually, Swift's mother agreed to take her to the local mall. When they arrived, Swift saw all of the girls she had called on the Taylor Swift: Fearless, goofing around in Victoria's Secret. Taylor Swift: Fearless reassuring to herself that it would be different in the future, she wrote the beginning of "Change". Taylor Swift: Fearless completing the Taylor Swift: Fearless first track, Swift reconsidered her personal definition of the word "fearless". It means that you have a lot of Taylor Swift: Fearless, but you jump anyway. Finding a fearless element to the themes and messages Taylor Swift: Fearless the songs, Swift decided to title the album Fearless. This album is called Fearlessand I guess I'd like to clarify why we chose that as the title. To me, Fearless is not the absence of fear. It's not being completely unafraid. To me, Fearless is having fears, Fearless is having doubts. Lots of them. To me, Fearless is living in spite of those things that scare you to death. Fearless is falling madly in love again, even though you've been hurt before. Fearless is walking into your freshman year of high school at fifteen. Fearless is getting back up and fighting for what you want over and over again It's Fearless to have faith that someday things will change. Fearless is having the courage to say goodbye to someone who only hurts you, even though you can't breathe without them. I think it's Fearless to fall for your best friend, even though he's in love with someone else. And when someone apologizes to you enough times for things they'll never stop doing, I think it's Fearless to stop believing them. It's Fearless to say "you're NOT sorry". I think loving someone despite what people think is Fearless. I think allowing yourself to cry on the bathroom floor is Fearless. Letting go is Fearless. Then, moving on and being alright That's Fearless too. But no matter what love throws at you, you have to believe in it. You have to believe in love stories and prince charmings and happily ever after.

  • Narrative Representations of Gender and Genre Through Lyric, Music, Image, and Staging in Carrie Underwood’S Blown Away Tour
    COUNTRY CULTURE AND CROSSOVER: Narrative Representations of Gender and Genre Through Lyric, Music, Image, and Staging in Carrie Underwood’s Blown Away Tour Krisandra Ivings A Thesis Presented In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirement for the Degree Master of Arts in Music with Specialization in Women’s Studies University of Ottawa © Krisandra Ivings, Ottawa, Canada, 2016 Abstract This thesis examines the complex and multi-dimensional narratives presented in the work of mainstream female country artist Carrie Underwood, and how her blending of musical genres (pop, rock, and country) affects the narratives pertaining to gender and sexuality that are told through her musical texts. I interrogate the relationships between and among the domains of music, lyrics, images, and staging in Underwood’s live performances (Blown Away Tour: Live DVD) and related music videos in order to identify how these gendered narratives relate to genre, and more specifically, where these performances and videos adhere to, expand on, or break from country music tropes and traditions. Adopting an interlocking theoretical approach grounded in genre theory, gender theory, narrative theory in the context of popular music, and happiness theory, I examine how, as a female artist in the country music industry, Underwood uses genre-blending to construct complex gendered narratives in her musical texts. Ultimately, I find that in her Blown Away Tour: Live DVD, Underwood uses diverse narrative strategies, sometimes drawing on country tropes, to engage techniques and stylistic influences of several pop and rock styles, and in doing so explores the gender norms of those genres. ii Acknowledgements A great number of people have supported this thesis behind the scenes, whether financially, academically, or emotionally.

  • THE MUSICAL FEATURES of 2015'S TOP-RANKED COUNTRY SONGS
    THE MUSICAL FEATURES OF 2015’s TOP-RANKED COUNTRY SONGS By Mason Taylor Allen Senior Honors Thesis Department of Music University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill April 22, 2016 Approved: Dr. Jocelyn R. Neal, Thesis Advisor Dr. Allen Anderson, Reader Dr. Andrea Bohlman, Reader © 2016 Mason Taylor Allen ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Mason Taylor Allen: The Musical Features of 2015’s Top-Ranked Country Songs Under the direction of Dr. Jocelyn R. Neal The 2015 top-ten country songs analyzed in this study are characterized by the various formats of their song form, harmonies, and lyrics. This thesis presents a comprehensive study of the structure and narratives in sixty-seven songs that summarizes the distinctive features within those domains of contemporary commercial country music. A detailed description of the norm along with identifiable trends emerges. The song form that features most prominently in this repertory includes a verse-chorus-bridge form with three iterations of the chorus, an intro and outro section, and instrumental sections immediately following each chorus. The top-ten country songs have varying degrees of departure from this typical model. Primary features of the harmonies of these top songs include the frequent use of a double-tonic complex, the absence of a 5-1 authentic cadence, the same chord progression throughout the verse, chorus, and bridge, and the use of only two chords throughout the song. Lyrical analyses show that 2015 songs are continuing the traditional themes about romantic attraction, love, heartache, good times and partying, home, family, nostalgia, religion, and inspiration, within the context of small-town country life that this genre has used for years.

KEITH URBAN Songwriters Clint Lagerberg, Hillary Lindsey, Steven Lee Olsen This fresh spin on barroom seduction, the fourth single from Urban’s Ripcord album, is the result of a collaboration between songwriting veteran Hillary Lindsey (who won the category in February with Little Big Town’s “Girl Crush,” which she co-wrote with Lori McKenna and Liz Rose) and relative newcomers Steven Lee Olsen and Clint Lagerberg.

  • ​Carrie Underwood Släpper Albumet ”Storyteller” 23 Oktober
    2015-08-27 15:35 CEST Carrie Underwood släpper albumet ”Storyteller” 23 oktober Amerikanska countrypop-drottningen Carrie Underwood släpper sitt nya efterlängtade album ”Storyteller” fredagen den 23 oktober. Detta är det första studioalbumet Carrie släpper sedan ”Blown Away” som släpptes 2012. Första singeln från ”Storyteller” är ”Smoke Break”, skriven av Carrie själv i samarbete med Hillary Lindsey och Chris DeStefano. Carrie om nya singeln och vad den egentligen betyder: “It’s basically an anthem for every hard-working person. We all wear many hats and are spread thin, so we can all relate to being tired and needing a break. This song is about having that moment to be able to escape from whatever it is that’s stressing you out and have some time for yourself.” Se YouTube-videon här Carrie Underwood vann American Idol 2005 och har sedan dess gjort makalös succé både inom musik, film och TV. Hon har sålt över 56 miljoner album världen över och haft 21 listettor. Carrie är första kvinnliga artist att vinna priset ’Academy of Country Music’s Entertainer of the Year’ två gånger om. Hennes tidigare utgivna album ”Some Hearts”, ”Carnival Ride”, ”Play On” och ”Blown Away” har alla sålt platina eller dubbel-platina. I slutet av 2014 släpptes samlingsalbumet ”Greatest Hits: Decade #1" som sammanfattar hennes första framgångsrika tio år som artist. Den 4 november går Country Music Awards av stapeln i Nashville och då ser vi Carrie Underwood som programledare för åttonde året i rad. Carrie har prisats flitigt för sin musik under åren med bland annat sju Grammy Awards och fyra American Music Awards-utmärkelser.

  • LITTLE BIG TOWN BIOGRAPHY PAIN KILLER Hot on the Heels of Their
    LITTLE BIG TOWN BIOGRAPHY PAIN KILLER Hot on the heels of their wildly successful album Tornado, Little Big Town’s prescription for continued success and creative drive is in their sixth album, Pain Killer. The two years since Tornado’s release have proven to be the most formative and motivational for the inspired family of artists, together since 1998. In the short time since Tornado, Little Big Town earned two number one radio hits with Tornado and Pontoon, a Grammy, two ACM and three CMA awards and an Emmy. They also found time to headline a sold-out tour, join Keith Urban across North America and host the CMA Music Festival: Country’s Night to Rock twice. These hard-earned accolades and new opportunities provided a steady dose of inspiration at every turn, leading them to a fresh and very intentional approach to their latest studio album. They co-wrote most of Tornado’s songs as a group and knocked out production in a matter of weeks, whereas the road to Pain Killer was significantly longer in the making, and much more calculated. LBT intentionally began writing and curating their songs early in their tour for Tornado in May 2013. They followed the creative energy wherever it flowed by splitting into different writing combinations. “We decided not to lock ourselves into writing as a group. We wanted a more relaxed and free approach,” says Karen Fairchild. “There was no pressure to write as certain groups at certain times. We followed the inspiration instead of forcing it.” “I don’t know that we would have written Tumble and Fall if the boys had been in the room,” she continues.
