Taylor Swift has sold more CDs in the past year than anybody. Her appeal continues to grow. Taylor Swift concerts sell out quickly. Clearly, this young woman is part of a music phenomenon. My favorite Taylor Swift DVD is the one she did with Def Leppard a year ago. But this new DVD captures the excitement of Taylor Swift’s latest tour. She sings a mix of her older hits and songs from her latest CD, Fearless. The bonus material gives you a look at how Taylor Swift evolved from a kid with a guitar into a media mogul. Lady Gaga gets more press, but Taylor Swift is doing more business. GRADE: B+
Not for me, thanks. Also, selling a CD with a DVD as a package is a rip-off unless you can buy the CD by itself for a lot less. Maybe in this case you can, I don’t know, as she isn’t a singer I listen to.
I’m always interested in artists who can reach large audiences in this era of the Internet, Rick. I suspect the DVD/CD package is for old listeners like me.
