Battle of the Teen Queens: Miley and Taylor
November 16, 2008 Posted in Buzz
It’s time for some teen talk. There’s a whole new generation of teenybopper superstars, and it’s time for us college ladies to get aquainted with them. Miley Cyrus seems to be at the crest of the fame wave, but can Taylor Swift be far behind?
While Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus has been on the radar of the ‘tween set for quite some time, she really became a mega-uber-superstar in the course of the last year. It’s been a good twelve months since I first started hearing her single, “See You Again,” blasting from every room on my hall. She made headlines when famed photographer Annie Lebowitz shot questionably tasteful photos of her for Vanity Fair. With a fiercely devoted fan base, bestselling albums and a movie and memoir in the works, you’d think Miley was the certified Queen of the Teenyboppers, pink tiara and all.
But not so fast, Hannah Montana. There’s another gal in town who’s ready to knock the spurs off your rockstar cowboy boots. Taylor Swift has been garnering press left and right about her sophisticated music and style. She’s been called the “most remarkable country music breakthrough artist of the decade,” and has upheld the honor by promising not to end up in rehab like some of her musician peers. And while she’s determined to stay out of the tabloids, she hasn’t always been successful–her tumultuous breakup with Joe Jonas has been providing intense gossip fodder this week.
So who is really on top of the tween rock scene? Billy Ray’s daughter steals the spotlight with her fun and kitschy persona, but Ms. Swift commands attention with her sweet and sincere lyrics. Who’s more likely to be rocking out on your iPod earbuds?
Tell us what you're thinking...

I don't much care for either of them.
Country and teen pop are not likely to be featured on my iPod any time soon.
I'm more of a Bullet For My Valentine and Rammstein kinda girl.

Considering both of them are only famous because their daddies bought their fame, I'd say their about level in my book.

Miley just irritates me. Taylor seems genuine. I like how her rise to fame has been slow and steady whereas with Miley it's been a huge blast of manufactured fame, like C said.

I don't like to think of "how they got famous" cause why does it matter, they both work really hard – achieved A LOT, and they're good at what they do.
I like Miley because she's so sweet and so fun and outgoing, and she's only 16. She has also done a lot for a 16 year old. I ain't gonna lie she does have good music, and she makes me laugh – in a good way. She doesn't really bother me at all.
The only thing that bugs me about Taylor is that if you get her album. EVERY SINGLE SONG *literally* is about love and boys and break ups, she doesn't get out there and sing about life, or parents, or friends, or anything at all really. Which is really annoying. But she is amazingly gorgeous and she does have a really really great voice and she is very classy and respectable. Also a very good role model for the young one's.
My point is that they're both pretty cool gal's.
