Taylor Swift And Her Cornrow Past

Well, we all have to come from somewhere, right? Turns out Taylor Swift wasn't always the sophisticated style maven she is today (yes, we know sophisticated may be pushing it). A childhood photo emerged recently of the country songstress beaming toothily with her hair in - what else? - cornrows. The look veers rather heavily away from Swift's typical stick-straight or carefully curled strands - and we thought bangs were a big deal. Bring back the look, Taylor! Maybe in your next CoverGirl run?

C'mon wright. Make-up works wonders. She can't sing and Kayne West did her a favor by speaking out. She even wrote a song about him, asking why me!

Does the person who wrote this article have something against Taylor? Jealousy is very unbecoming.

The writer of this seems to have forgotten everyone had cornrows. It was the thing back in the day.

If Kanye West had never opened his big stupid mouth on TV, this no talent chick would be nothing more than another trailer trash wannabe

so she was just up on stage to receive an award for no reason when big black boy Kayne stepped on the stage, if it wasn't for all the black entertainers (questionable on that) he would still be driving a trash truck. Talk about a no talent ugly singer you got it. All he can do is scream and gyrate. Real entertainning but then again we gotta have the boys to even out the balance.

Nope, Not Even Close, I wish all you Taylor haters would fall off the planet, I have seen her twice in concert, both of which were SOLD Out. Taylor is such a talented lady. With success comes such harch criticism, cause of jelousy. This has not one thing to do with Kanye EAST. Taylor was a name way before that puke ever did his garbage on stage. I still have no idea who Kanye East is, except for what he did to Taylor.

Taylor Swift is a total class act compared to Kanye West, and judging by your words...compared to you as well. She was there to accept an award and he couldn't keep his tongue in his head and couldn';t resist showing his lack of any kind of couth or IQ. She sings and writes just fine, has her head on straight and is pretty much free of scandal in the press...and she looks just fine these days. A bright and smart young woman who's had some much deserved success. Someone else put it eloquently and succinctly here: jealousy is so unbecoming to anyone who spews it in a public forum.
If you're more talented, then let's hear what you've got. otherwise, if you're not a fan, don't ramble on and on about how much you dont care about someone by giving them this much attention...it's a waste of your breath and our time. I wish taylor all the success in the world. She's earned it and I'm happy for her!
