Well, I guess we have to give Taylor Swift some credit. I feel like she’s been listening to some of our style criticisms of her, and this is how she answered. Swifty did not wear a prom dress, nor a wedding dress, nor something that made me think “how virginal.” Her Grammy dress was not a pastel. It was not white. It was not made of lace (sort of). It was not “precious”. Now, was this Zuhair Murad gown GOOD? Not really. I like the idea of Swifty graduating to metallics, but this feels like the busted cousin of one of her usual sparkly, lacy prom dresses. The effect with the sheer fabric on her chest is especially bad! That being said, I’m okay with everything from the waist down. The bottom of the dress is interesting.

Oh, and I really, really dislike Swifty’s hair here, but once again, I think I have to give her credit for changing it up. She didn’t do a curly frizz, she didn’t do giant bangs, she didn’t do sleek. She went for a simply, uncomplicated bun – but it just doesn’t suit her face. She looks particularly crazy-eyed this way. As for Swifty’s performance of “Mean”… I found it boring. That “country” stuff seems like a shtick for her at this point.

It struck me as I was watching the first hour of the Grammys – how perfect would it be if Swifty (the tall girl) ended up with Bruno Mars (the short guy)? Think about it – they would be super-cute together!!!!!! I can’t help it, I think Bruno is adorable, and I hope he got even more fans last night with his performance. I want him with Swifty.
