T. Swift’s Solid Performance at the CMAs

There’s no one I like on mainstream radio more than Taylor Swift. I was psyched when T. Swift released her music video for her hit single, “Mine” a couple of weeks ago and even more excited to see her perform the song live for the first time at the CMAs. Unlike her much buzzed about [...]
