Post a Comment20 years old with such talent. Nice piece.
I like her, as does my cat Sparkle!
I just love her, she is so real!
She is so talented. :-)
No surprise here, I expected her to win. Cheers.
not a TS fan at all.
You know, I'm not that impressed - I've heard her live twice now, (on TV) the last being the Haiti telethon...while her voice is strong post studio, she's fairly weak and flat live..
She is great.
I am glad Taylor Swift won! I think she really deserved it... :-)
