1. I've genuinely never listened to her, at least consciously - might as well listen to these examples.
  2. All to Well is clearly influenced by With or Without You.
  3. State of Grace is a great song
  4. I must really laugh everytime I see this topic title
  5. It's Jack Abramoff, her producer.
    Listen to his band Bleachers.
    Big U2 influences.
    Love her.
  6. I don't reject that thouhgt at all, but find it really funny. I heard a few (even some recent) songs and can't say anything positive about Swift's music. But it's just my opinion...
  7. I was having a look around the web to see music influences Taylor swift mentioned and despite listing a good few artists from different genres u2 aren’t mentioned. Any similar sounds are a complete coincidence I feel, maybe indirectly influenced but that’s not the same thing.
  8. Here too

    But I would't know if there is any truth to it, because I have never listened to Taylor Swift's music...it just sounds funny

    (Perhaps a childish kinda funny from my part...I really respect everyone's taste in music...honestly!)
