Taylor Swift has swept the nation with her blonde hair, big blue eyes, fun loving, bubbly personality and sweet nature. In 2006, Swift released her first debut album, establishing her as a loveable country song artist.

Years later, we have completely forgotten she even once sang country. Taylor Swift is a role model to girls all over the world—however, do people really want their children to look up to someone like Taylor Swift?

Yes, Swift is the image of perfection as a long legged beauty, but she has also gone through some major changes. The country star is now gone; she has completely changed her music genre to fit the image everyone wanted her to be.  In 2008, her music changed into a more pop feel and bigger names in the music industry were threatening Swifts innocent country vibe. Singer-songwriter Demi Lovato was powering to the top of the charts with her pop music, as was Katy Perry and Lady GaGa. T-swizzle would have gotten lost in the crowd if she had stayed true to herself. She wanted more and country fans were not a big enough fan base for her and she needed to expand.

People may argue that she is just another musician shedding her childhood image, but I say that if you’re an artist of a genre of music, then stick to it and be classy about it. Everyone knows Jennifer Lopez’s song “Jenny from the Block.” That song is showing her growth but also demonstrates that she is still who she once was.

There is also Madonna, who is the Queen of Pop; her new album is more tech then pop, yet she didn’t change herself to produce the new her—she is still the same. Swift completely shed her country sweet girl image because it was not getting enough revenue.

Taylor Swift is not only famous for her voice, but also for her dating record, which is not comprised of very lengthy relationships. Swift dated musician Joe Jonas from July to October 2008, then dated actor Taylor Lautner from October 2008 to December 2009, not leaving much room for grieving. She was involved with musician John Mayer from late 2009 until early 2010. She dated actor Jake Gyllenhaal from October to December 2010. Swift dated political heir Conor Kennedy from July to September 2012, only to get involved with singer Harry Styles from October 2012 to January 2013. In March 2015, Swift started dating record-producer and DJ Calvin Harris. Anyone you don’t know from that list? Yeah I didn’t think so; many of her “lovers” are very well known famous people, which only heights her status.

Another reason Swift is not fit as an icon is her childish immaturity. Most of her songs are about exes that have “done her wrong” or trying to find the right boy. She says she is a feminist, yet most of her songs revolve around boys and break ups, nothing about empowering women, just whining about her past relationships.

Her newest song “Bad Blood” is about the ongoing girl fight with ex-friend Katy Perry. “Bad Blood” is basically showing all of Swifts’ friends and publicizing how popular she is and that she will fight Perry if it comes down to it. This is showing that it is okay to bad mouth your old friends behind their back and hate them.

Young girls should not look up to Taylor Swift because she is not fit to be an icon or a role model. She comes off as weak and not as someone willing to stand up for herself or what she believes in (do you remember the whole Kanye fiasco?). If I was a parent, I would rather my child look up to Miley Cyrus than to Taylor Swift.
