Why is Taylor Swift considered to be country music?

i with you on that one! i believe country is country ive lived in south my entire life , country isn't what it kinda country people has gotten older and they are retiring giving way to the young up and coming like taylor swift, country music producer who gave her music contract has to place in in a category ,its easier to put a kid or a 15 yr old in country music then she can do crossover music and eventually do both! it didn't quite work with leanne rimes though because she doesn't have the pop voice that does. but im glad that im alive to hear her sing.also i heard taylor say on an interview that she has always loved the country vibe, either way i love her music and she is responsible for getting teens into country music which i think is great being a mom of 5 boys! rap and gangster stuff not what i call music!
