What about the crisis in the music industry? Wasn't it the case that music was at best a hobby and that big hits had long since disappeared? Apparently someone forgot to tell Taylor Swift about these developments. The Pennsylvania-born high-flyer has thrilled millions of fans in the USA over the past two years and built bridges between different genres, while casually becoming the ultimate teen sensation. And if we now look again - fast forward, so to speak - at the success that Taylor has had in the States for the past two years, it becomes clear that it is largely due to how believable her lyrics are. Songs like "Our Song" and "Should've Said No" were (and are!) songs that everyone could believe in. At some point, everyone believed in these songs so much that Taylor simply had to end up at the top of the charts with them.
