Concert Venues

The complaint heard all over Nashville from the insiders to just the country music fans of old is that there is too much pop music influencing a lot of country musicians making the tunes what a lot of are calling country pop making that a sub- genre of its own.
The musician at the head of the country pop movement is undoubtedly Taylor Swift, not saying she is the 1st one to do it but she is the 1st one to really have success at it. Not only has she had success with top-40 radio but she recently did a taping with MTV’s TRL which is a rarity and al most unheard of in country music.
a lot of individuals look at country pop as a terrible thing that it should be denounced or looked at as cheapening the rich culture of country music but if you look at the sales charts it is in my opinion endorse ing country musicians as a whole as it is exposing a lot of young fans and fans that could never have given country music a occasion now to give a listen to an musician like Taylor Swift, Chuck Wicks, or Rascal Flatts then move on to other musicians such as Alan Jackson or Jason Aldean who are more traditional country.
If you attend a Taylor Swift show, if you could get tickets that’s, there are thousands upon thousands of screaming young girls who are not only buying her albums but they are buying all kinds of merchandise and Taylor is famous for staying hours after a show to make sure any person who wants something signed will get it, and optimum of all she takes her time with each person making them feel special which really makes her special. No w if she could get over the hump of a sophomore slump and her possibly outgrowing her fan base then she will be around for years to come.
If you look at the sales charts when all of the music industry is down country music is staying strong and evolving to take over part of mainstream is something country has tried for a long time and they are officially accomplishing it now, so could be some pop in my country music isn’t as bad as I think or a lot of individuals think.
