Taylor Swift has made a habit (and millions of dollars) out of writing songs about the men and boys in her life who have hurt her, double crossed her, and basically been mean in one way or another.
Yeah, she writes happy, fairy-talesque songs too, but it's the getting even ones that get noticed.
Now here's the official music video for a very innocent looking 16-year-old Payton Rae singing with gusto about a cheating boyfriend, who I also assume is a 16-ish year old teenager, in a song called Stomp the Fire Out.
She sounds like a young Kellie Pickler to me. Cute.
So were cheating boyfriends at 16 always an issue or is this a new norm for the new millenium? I can't remember having issues with such things at 16, but then maybe I was fortunate or just clueless.
I'm starting to think that the country singers out there who are parents to teenagers need to start putting out how-to songs to teach teenage boys how to be faithful and nice and quit breaking little girls hearts to counteract this trend of teen girls singing about cheating -- at least until they're old enough to deal with it like an adult....you know, by drinking.
You can find out more about Payton Rae on her website.
Love it!!!:)
