Its 14 on the Billboard Hot 100. Although she can still seem a little gangly in her lyrical details - her relationship songs are too on the nose and she has an odd.

A Personal Commentary on the Cycle of Various Changes in Country MusicThe Best Taylor Swift Country Music Songs of All Time Ap/ in Blog , Covers , News / by Lucie Bernheim As Taylor Swift relives her start with the re-release of Fearless (Taylor’s Version) , we’re rounding up our all-time favorite Taylor Swift country music songs.It is, as all pop albums should be, recognizable primarily as the work of Taylor Swift alone: her girlish persona is at its center, allowing her to try on the latest fashions while always sounding like herself. The country world feigned surprise when, after three albums of Music Row-indebted songcraft, Taylor Swift formally embraced pop on 2012’s Red.
These artists seem to be moving towards a revival of that country sound I’ve been craving. Artists like Luke Combs, Kacey Musgraves, and most notably, Tyler Childers have become especially popular in country music. And so soon, I fell away from new artists because I felt like they were clinging too much to pop music, or really over-doing the country sound.Within the last five years, however, I’ve once again started listening more and more to new country.
She is a fan of country music and enjoys exploring different trends of the genre between decades. We also have greater technological advances that allow the industry to produce many different styles of country music, even some we might not have heard before.And so, for me, I think as the cycle continues to go on, we will never see exact repeats and can never exactly compare one cycle to a previous one, but we will always have the influence of country music’s history as part of this wonderful musical story.* Title images: The Carter Family (courtesy of Dale Jett) Garth Brooks ( Fatherspoon) Kacey Musgraves ( BruceC007)Caitlyn Carter is an honors student and psychology major at Western Carolina University. When we’re relaxing outside on a hot summer day to the embrace of fiddles, tangy harmonies, and the sounds of music floating through the air, we must give credit to that foundational moment at the Bristol Sessions.Cover of The Bristol Sessions box set from Bear Family Records.So, how does this compare to what we are experiencing today in country music? While I think we do find ourselves within the roots revival and traditional influences of the genre, we also have to look at how society is today – we naturally have major divisions in the genre over the sound that is created and viewed as “country,” but now we also have divisions within politics and social activism that are also being expressed through music. Not only did the 1990s see these successful and “modernizing” artists, but there was also a roots revival in country music where some musicians hearkened back to earlier bluegrass and hillbilly stars and took a step away from a commercialized sound.While we have seen numerous waves between the popularity of country-pop and traditional country, we can connect our dear fondness of that old-time sound to the 1927 Bristol Sessions and other early recording sessions of “hillbilly music.” The Bristol Sessions led to the mainstream commercialization of the traditional sound we’ve now been listening to for almost 100 years. We saw unforgettable artists like Garth Brooks, Shania Twain, the Chicks, and many more come to the stage, and their legacy and music is still insanely popular almost 30 years later. For me, it feels like they’ve brought back the country sound with real emotion – from “Dime Store Cowgirl” and “Whitehouse Road” to “When It Rains It Pours.”When I listen to these artists, I definitely feel the connection to 1990s country, which was a very successful decade for the genre.
