Music I banned Taylor Swift today - Page 22

Dr. Facebook Fever · 08-15-2012, 05:50 PM

...OK not ALL Taylor Swift... although I'd like to... but I did ban her new song "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together." Nashville goes a little more pop every single day and this one is so bubble gum teeny sweet blinding sugar high bullshitfest that I couldn't see adding it to my stations playlist and keeping any semblance of respect from actual country fans. So naturally I did what any decent Program Director would do... tested it in front of a live listening audience.

The results were staggaring. 98% "don't ever play it again," 2% "I like it." The nays win. I posted on the stations facebook today that we appreciate your opinion more than anything and we're listening... Taylors new song will "never ever" be played on this station again. Our facebook has blown up today with responses... positive to about the same percentage and we've gained 52 new "friends" simply for NOT playing a song LOL.

The best thing is that our in market competitor posted that "FTR we are playing Taylors new song because we believe in letting our listeners decide for themselves" and half the posts on their page are in support of us or just generally trashing Taylor and the song. Thanks for the added attention and support cross-town dumbasses.

I realize not many of you probably care about this but it's made my day. It's the first time in 22 years in radio that I've banned a song. I should do it more often.

*shit thread*

***and not a shit was given***

tl:dr Taylor Swift blows... and not in the good way

No, you’re not the only one. She’s not unfortunate looking, she just doesn’t do much for me.

I find the Jason Aldeans new song "when she says baby" is pretty good.

I have been listening to his new album. My 15 year old son is a huge JA fan... Thanks to the song Amarillo Sky.

Now he has all of his work...

Feel confident in knowing that you're not alone.

I think she's ugly.

Why?

We don't need Taylor Swift, we need more Gnesa!

MahiMike · 10-24-2012, 09:16 AM

Ya know, it's not all about our demographic. My 14 y/o old son likes her and I'm proud of this. Way better role model than most of the diva's out there.

A syrupy sweet pop tart with an eating disorder? I’m pretty sure Hollywood is packed to overflowing with those.

No way is Taylor Swift a better role model than Lady Gaga.

Exactly.

Rolling Stone magazine tried to tart her up in their latest issue and I still wouldn't touch her. She is just not attractive.
