Naomi Judd Defends Taylor Swift

Naomi Judd - CountryMusicIsLove

Although her famous daughter recently called Taylor Swift’s success “too much, too soon,” Naomi Judd has come to the defense of the country superstar in the midst of criticism surround her Grammy Awards performance. Judd recently wrote The Tennessean the following letter…

Remember the puzzles, “What's wrong with this picture?” You search for faults, ignoring the overall larger picture.

Reference Taylor Swift. Multi-talented, she not only sings well enough to strike a chord with a huge audience, Taylor single-handedly introduced country music to a much-welcomed younger demographic and generated international interest.
She writes, dances, acts and is a dazzling performer. Taylor is the best-dressed young female artist today, in league with Hollywood's most glamorous stars.

When I met her I was impressed by her sincere transparent niceness. Taylor's a lovely young lady.

Having sung many times at the Grammys, I can tell you that the stress and anxiety of performing in front of the world's top artists in every genre of music is tortuous for even the most seasoned singer.

Smarts, manners and class. Why can't fault-finders see that she is a sorely needed role model? We're aware of how lyrics and musicians can influence our society. If America ever needed positive role models, it's now.

If there's an award for being the best role model for her generation, I'd like to be the one to give it to Taylor Swift.
