103: Taylor Swift Sucks
Taylor Swift, Dateline NBC Profile and Musical Genius Claims
Dateline NBC aired a one-hour special dedicated to 19-year-old singer Taylor Swift, portraying her as a musical prodigy. The segment features Swift directing her band members to play "less notes" during soundchecks to avoid "noodley" solos. Critics suggest the heavy promotion is an industry attempt to find a replacement for Britney Spears following Swift's move from RCA to a new label.
