Filed under: Music Minute > Taylor Swift
That's our girl!
Country cutie Taylor Swift continues to break records!
Her latest hit single, You Belong With Me, is now #1 on the Billboard Radio Songs!
It's the first country song to hit the top spot of that chart in its 19-year history!
Incredible!
Her album Fearless is also #1 on the country chart and #8 in the Hot 200!
The talented T-Swizzle is also re-releasing Fearless with 6 new songs at the end of October! We can't wait!
Congrats on all your accomplishments, bb! You deserve it!

Hellraiser Remake… In 3D!
WOW! Congrats Taylor!
YAY TAYLOR BABYYY!
and fuck you Kanye while we're at it.
she is awesome and a hottie, Just hope kanye wont try to ruin this moment
She's such a gorgeous, classy young lady. WOW!
Not my kind of music, but I'm happy for her.
Success is the ultimate revenge!
Taylor deserves this.
Surprised Kanye hasn't blogged about this saying someone else is better.
thats FREAKIN awsome!!
Congrats
don't thank her thank kanye. If no other country single has ever went #1 its obvious its because of kanye. Everyone is feeling sorrow for her for what, this woman who acts like at little girl who cant sing is getting rich. Do you think if kayne had not did what he did she would be releasing her album all over again i think not.
I want that dress… it's stunning!
She just breaks records left and right! I wish someone would make a list of every record she's broken
go Taylor thats awesome news i hope she can kick off the BEP of the hot 100 because im getting sick of I Gotta Feeling now
see good shit came from the Kanye West thing.
Kanye helped her career out by doing that
I just love how she's huge but never intends to be a bitch!
But Perez, you shouldn't put that photo..there are many more photos where she looks great. She's kinda scary in there, not really sure why.
i dont really consider her country music… she sounds more like teeny bopper pop music
NOW SHE IS A CLASSY LADY, MILEY TAKE NOTICE……..
HAHA What a COINCIDENCE - the chart has been around for 19 years, and so has Taylor hehe
Re: inmybag – I have to agree with u on that one…yes i still think what kanye did was a horrible thing to do to a teenager….but i think had that incident not taken place everyone outside of the country music scene and tweens would still be asking taylor who?….so it just goes to show no publicity is bad publicity…kanyes records are also doing well but like i said most of his success has been from people that enjoy his style of music….so what if she still acts like a little girl id rather have a 19 year girl still acting young than a 16 year old acting like a grown slut (miley!!)…
CONGRATS TAYLOR!…Well deserved! She is a great role model to young girls, she's smart, sweet, and so talented. She worked hard to get where she is.
Love this girl, she is such a classy broad.
Not to be a debbie downer here.. I love Taylor Swift and I love this song.. but to say it's first Country song to reach the top of this chart is a little inaccurate. It only hit the top because a POP remake of the song was released to pop radio and they played it. Had they stuck with just the country version, this song wouldn't have been half as popular as it was. So really, the song made it, and it is a great accomplishment for her, but it's not really an all out country song.
congrats! i guess something good came out of kanyes assholing… more records!
Re: bretluvr – me too ♥
I LOVE that song!!!
good for her! take that kakanye
beyonce does country better.
congrats! taylor. lets see kanye do this.
but her lyrics are so dumb! really? talented?
but her lyrics are so dumb! really? talented? i mean i love cheesy pop music like everyone else but i don't think i would call anyone talented. that just makes YOU look dumb..
shes so hot!
good for her!
=D
it doesnt sound like a country song, thats probably why
Kanye is a FUCKTARD ASS HAT!!! Throw your #1 is his DAMN FACE. I doubt we'll see any new #1's from him 4 awhile:)
she owes a big thanks to kanye.
Way to go Cutie!
so when does a rap song become the no 1 country song?…just sayin….
love taylor one of her biggest fans but she in not country. Her first album was pop/country but fearless is downright pop, just happens to be in a country record label and classed as country due to living is tenasee.
I cant believe this song has become such a hit. This song is a complete rip-off of Saving Jane "girl next door" Taylor Swift migt not have been aware but its insane that she literally stole a song, changed it around horribly, her version is horrible, and she calls it her own. The girl cannot even sing!!! Why the hell is she famous? so patetic that this talentless girl is the definition of talent
Have you heard "You belong to me"….that is not a country song. That is a pop as it gets
Let's be honest here, and I'm not usually one to do this BUT She made it there all by her self. she won her first VMA without any one else. yes she's classy her lyrics are adorable, and Kanye West screwed up, how does that have any effect on her chart listing ? people don't say hey a Taylor Swift song let me put the radio on just because i feel bad for her. no one changed their taste in music because Kanye West is a super douche. eff that, you people are HATING on a young girl who is beautiful and successful and not in rehab. FAIL.
P.S i honestly dont understand either how Miley Cyrus is a 16 year old slut ?
She needs to thank Kanye, the press she got has taken her career to a whole new level.
couldn't have happened to a nicer girl..
Taylor can't sing on key to save her life, and she is about as country as Snoop Dog. Her song hit number 1 on the pop charts, because it IS pop! It is not country! She remixed it to pop! get a clue Perez!
She is so over-rated and over-exposed. I am sick of everything about her.
Go Kanye!
Excited about swift re-releasing her album plus new songs? for reals?
soo corny!
I wouldn't call You Belong To Me as belonging to country. I mean, it's officially referred as being that but I think that's a musicology fallacy. You Belong To Folk-Rock, or what was once called Soft Rock, maybe.
Can't stand this BITCH.Wish she would loose her voice.
kanye definitely helped promote that song haha… more people probably checked it out after his outburst
FUCK YOU KANYE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
shes broken so many records its incredible for the pep saying kanye helped her i disagree taylor was in high demand wayy before kanye shes the it girl right now
Love the dress. Congrats Taylor!
people still love good girls
i don't like her at all. she can't sing live. And I would hardly call "Fearless" a country album, it's so pop. So many country sngers have great voices, she shouldn't even be in the same genre as them.
and she look anorexic, and im not only judging by this picture.
her lyrics sound as if they were written 9 yr old. The country version wasn't the one to make the charts, it was the pop version. People are only hating on her because she doesn't even deserve to be in the spotlight, she so untalented.
That's funny, cause it's not even a country song. She changed it for pop radio. It's not country at all!
It's not country.
TAYLOR TELL THAT DUMBASS KANYE, THANK U FOR BOOSTING MY SALES! U GO GIRL!
Too bad it's probably the POP remix that's at #1??? I've never heard the "country" version on a mainstream radio station before.
Take that West what ya think of the white girl now?
Hey West you slam bashing pri** looks like are girl did it again. Now bow down and kiss her white a**.
hahaha take that kanye
We love you Taylor!!
and all thanks to kanye.
i am sick of hearing about her…
First, Kanye was correct with his statement he made at the VMA's…. he just had a case of bad timing… I have yet to meet an actual person who likes her music…. funny how people aren't a shame to say there a fan online… but never have i ever heard a person say outloud " I like Taylor Swift" Come on…19 yrs from now…. Kanye will still be known…
Response to TMarie_
She did not make it there by herself…. she's has vocal coaches, producers who manipulate her voice, agents who promote her album, etc….. She won a VMA b/c she sang a song… the real winners are the people who actually put hours into her melodies,lyrics, editing…. she just did the same thing i do in the shower, but in front of a microphone…. she's a fake, she's surrounded herself with very experience people who know how to take a young girl and make her look classy…look at britney….lindsey…miley… when all those are not involved in her career…. i'd put $$$ she'll be a hot mess in a couple of yrs. Her chart listing only went up b/c people didnt know who she was… and googled her music….
p.s. you don't understand why miley is called a slut?? Lemme ask you… if ya saw a 16yr old girl with shorts 3" from her twat and full camel toe showing with a tight shirt & no bra on… while swinging around a stripper pole at a arena not only full of people- but people who are mostly under the age of 16- not a slut, what would you call it?! It's very whorish behavior, and not a good example for young children. Disney p.r. dept is no longer in control…..
waah waah waah
conservatives have ruined the world
Love Taylor and all but she is not country and it's annoying that she and anybody else claims that she is. She's pop. End. of. story. lovestory.
Love Taylor! Take that Kanye…how many records did you sell compared to her?
I'm sure this was news for one Ms. Shenia Twain (I know I spelled her name wrong - sue me). This is so not a country song.
Perez stop hanging out with Lady Gaga and start fact checking. This on top of the Barbara Striesand (I know, I got her name wrong too) comment about redoing a Babs classic, where by her doing it was a redo of the classic A Star is Born staring one Ms. Judy Garland (one out of three aint bad). You forgot JUDY! The first real gay man's straight gal love. Come on!
rofl idiots that whole thing was a stunt for her benefit, only white america knows who this hoe is
B-O-R-I-N-G.
Calling her 'music' (and I use the term lightly..) country is an insult to decent country music. Its just mainstream, teeny drivel.
She can thank Kanye West for that the number 1.
She'd be nothing without Kanye. Bow, bitch
I just don't get the appeal here. She has an awful voice. Wth is wrong with people? This is NOT music….
yay taylor she totally deserves ths!
