Taylor Swift, the 19-year-old country singer who seems to be everywhere all of a sudden, literally could be everywhere in spring 2010.
She could be in your mailbox, on your birthday presents and anywhere else greeting cards are found. She has a deal with American Greetings Corp. to release a greeting card line that will feature the writing and positive ideas she puts into her song lyrics.
At first, creating your own greeting card line seemed odd to me, but then…why not? Jessica Simpson created edible makeup, but no one seemed to bat an eye when that happened.
I’m not a big fan of country music, so the only exposure I get to Swift is when she is in the media. With the MTV Video Music Awards controversy, her 2009 CMT Entertainer of the Year Award, and her recent appearance on Saturday Night Live, I haven’t been able to get away from her.
It’s not that I dislike her or mind seeing her in the media, I just feel like she’s become very visible lately.
With a quick Google search, I learned what many of you probably already know – her music has been at the top of the charts since 2008, and her crossover power has led her to a lot of firsts. For instance, she was the first country star to take home an MTV Music Video Award.
I can’t say anything about the quality or content of her actual music, but everything else about her seems to be impressive.
I was pleasantly surprised by her performance on SNL a few weeks ago (the acting, not the singing). I’m unsure if that will translate well when she appears in the 2010 romantic comedy, “Valentine’s Day,” but I’m willing to admit it’s possible.
I wonder if she’ll use her new greeting card line to promote the movie, or vice versa. Ingenious.
