Naomi Judd Defends Taylor Swift’s Grammy Award Performance

February 9, 2010 | by Disney Dreaming

Taylor Swift has been getting a lot of negative press for her performance at the Grammy Awards, and now Naomi Judd has taken it upon herself to defend Taylor.

She says, Taylor has “single-handedly introduced country music to a much-welcomed younger demographic” and has served as a “sorely needed role model.”

In addition, Naomi says: “Remember the puzzles, ‘What’s wrong with this picture?’ You search for faults, ignoring the overall picture. [Taylor] not only sings well enough to strike a chord with a huge audience…she writes, dances, acts, and is a dazzling performer. Taylor is the best-dressed young female artist today, in league with Hollywood’s most glamorous stars. When I met her, I was impressed by her sincere transparent niceness. Taylor’s a lovely young lady…Smarts, manners, and class…If there’s an award for being the best role model for her generation, I’d like to be the one to give it to Taylor Swift. Having sung many times at the Grammys, I can tell you that the stress and anxiety of performing in front of the world’s top artists in every genre of music is tortuous for even the most seasoned singer.”
