Not a fan by any means but. She writes her own songs. Which is rare for country artists. Tim McGraw and George strait do not write any of their own songs. She also plays an instrument(not great but she does). She does amazing things for her fans and charities. And she is a smokes how. I don't understand the hate.
It's rare for ANY popular musician these days to write their own music and play their own instrument. I definity give her props for that. Her music isn't my style and I'm not going to go and buy any of it, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't think a lot of her songs on her last album weren't damn catchy.
