After shooting down rumors that she was knocked up (which I still find absolutely effing ridiculous), Taylor Swift talked about her most embarrassing moment. Unfortunately for Taylor, there are a ton of them.
I have them all the time! Mostly it has to do with me being tall. I'll always be hitting my head on the side of a car or going through a door. I think I've gotten minor concussions from hitting my head on things. And in the beginning, when I was on the radio tour and doing free shows, people would introduce me as Taylor Hicks, because that was right when he won American Idol.
Actually, she's pretty dead on. Being called Taylor Hicks is not only a huge embarrassment, but a huge insult, too.

I can't imagine a bigger honor than being called Taylor Hicks.
Don't know if the man will ever be a big seller, but at least he has real, true talent.
An ability to do a lot of things.
Swifts beauty will fade and she will be forgotten for the most part.
Taylors talent as a real musician is growing and he will be around forever. Can't wait for his new single and cd. Not much longer.
But mentioning his name got you the hits you were looking for didn't it?
I have nothing against Taylor Hicks...I just needed a punchline. He was perfect for it.
jadd - Punch line? To you, calling someone an "insult" is funny? I do not find it funny at all.
I'm a fan of Taylor Swift and Taylor Hicks. She is great. He is too !!
Well I'm a very big Taylor Hicks fan and I think Taylor Swift has a LOT OF NERVE using the same name as him. Every time I get a google alert for Taylor, I have to go find out it isn't even for Taylor, it's for this Swift girl. Whoever she is, she should change her name, because Taylor Hicks is so big, soon he will be known as just Taylor, like Madonna and Bono. So leave his name alone, and don't let anybody else even think of using it.
I imagine it would be a great embarrassment and insult for a beautiful, talented young girl to be mistaken for an old nobody like Taylor Hicks.
Taylor Swift is a fresh young talent. Taylor Hicks is a remarkable songwriter, singer and performer. They're both superb in their own way.
Taylor Swift was lovely last night on the CMA's. Taylor Hicks is only good for getting blog hits. You know that when he gets a mention, the crazies come out of the woodwork. There are only a handful of them, but they like to spam the heck out of articles. On one of their boards, The Official Soul Patrol, they abused the ad-click system so badly, Google disabled their account. This is the kind of scary stalkers they are. But have fun with the hits, you deserve it for your nice blog.
I don't know if Taylor Swift had any idea, that when they called her Taylor Hicks, they were really calling her Elvis, cause they're practically the same person. They're 99.9% the same, and you need to buy yourself some glasses, if you can't see that for yourself. Plus they even sound just alike, and we know they've had the same type of success.
Clearly by agreeing with Taylor Swift that it's embarrassing to be called Taylor Hicks, it's making his ass famous. Look how many of you came out of the woodwork to finally comment?
As far as who is a bigger star -- look. Taylor Hicks' genre may not be my generation, but more than my generation loves Taylor Swift. She has hits on country stations, Top 40 stations, Hot AC stations -- you name it, she's there. Where's Taylor? Classic Hits stations. You know who listens to Classic Hits? The generation gap between Sinatra and the Stones.
By the way, can you explain the whole Elvis comparison? Taylor Hicks is not by any means in Elvis' league. Except maybe for age.
jadd, you give Taylor Hicks way too much credit. His songs are not played on Classic Hits stations. His songs are not played on any stations at all. Thank goodness.
The Soul Patrol actually thinks that Taylor Hicks is Elvis reincarnated. They are scary, but I'm glad you're getting all the hits and they can't reach through the computer and punch you, which I'm sure they would like to do.
jadd-Just so you know, the goof comparing Taylor to Elvis is a well known Taylor article stalker. Whenever she sees his name she comes on and writes something dumb in order to made it look like Taylors fans are crazies. Most of us are really quite normal. And don't ask me why someone would spend their time doing that but she does. Taylor is certainly not Elvis, just for me, I would not want him to be. I like him just the way he is.
Too bad that more younger generation don't give Taylor a try. He had a great rock band on his tour shows, full of energy. And I love his blues harp. He really is very good. It would be nice if everybody would not just accept some of the things written and check him out for themselves. He has a large fanbase, believe it or not, and we enjoy him. And he is working regularly and doing much better that hes being given credit for. The Grease tour wanted him so bad that they have worked his music into the show. He will be introducing his new single. I have heard it is very good. His new cd drops in Feb and he has a DVD of a tour show that is outstanding. I think its going to be a good year for him. Heres hoping.
Heres a little "I'm Alright" straight from Taylors lips.

I'm not gonna lie, tyrpentine, my foot was tapping during the clip. My music taste is ridiculously eclectic -- if you saw my iPod, you'd think I have multiple personalities. That includes dabbling in a little blues/jazz. The only song I heard from Taylor's, to be honest, was his post-Idol single, and I wasn't too impressed with it.
Coincidentally enough, I saw an ad for him this morning about coming to the Providence area. He got wicked grey, huh? I just think he reaches for a different generation than Taylor Swift, and the Swift fans are younger and more outspoken about music.
Man, if I knew being this controversial would get so many hits, I'd play the "heel" more often :)
haha Jadd, I don't think Taylor was that impressed with his single either. He sounded good, it makes a good graduation song or tribute to the troops but not exactly his regular kind of music. It is really loved in some places tho. The Asian Idol made it their theme song last year and invited Taylor over. Yes, the Grease tour debuts in Providence on Dec. 2nd. He will be debuting his single that night too, they say, and thats what I am waiting for mostly. He is very good in Grease tho, he has turned the teen angel into a 'wicked' angel. You don't play the bars of the southeast for 10,12 years and not develop a wicked streak. He is definitely an older idol, I call him the anti-idol. Taylors is a very eclectic performer, gets him in trouble sometimes , one fan thinks he should do this and the other one thinks he should do that. They are always arguing. I say let him do it all. Hes just good. Heres one from the show the DVD comes from. Gotta love Al Carty the bass player.

If you're interested, I have some of him sitting in with friends at the bar. Thats what I like the most. But its all good.
Don't fall for the phony spin, jadd. Taylor Hicks is a washed-up has-been. He has a following of about a hundred rabid older women who spam every article like this one, lying about Taylor's success. He was a laugh a minute in Grease, but people were laughing AT him. Sure, it sold tickets. That's what a freak show does. The DVD of his two-year-old show that's being released in February has ALREADY tanked in pre-sales. On Amazon it was down to something like #20,000. Lots of people make fun of him, but it's mostly because of his fans. You see the one who came here trying to convert you to a Soul Patroller. They start out sane, but if you say you don't like something of Taylor's, your rear end is grabbed in the vise of stupid obsessive fangurly indignation. If they knew the truth about Taylor and his boyfriend, they would freak out totally. I'm posting here because I want you to get the hits, as others have said. And to watch their heads spin around and fall off.
Hahahaha seriously, headcases make me smile. I love it. And I love the fact that everyone has blown up the page about this story. Not even just because of the hits, but because it's nice to finally know people are reading this blog, after posting about 100 stories with no comments on them.
So thank you, Soul Patrolling Taylor Hicks freakazoids, because you make me world go round.
On another note...Amanda, you're stellar. And you sound like the female version of me, except you're probably a lot better looking.
yes, Amanda was sweet wasn't she?
But so silly. Yes, I'm sure people would spend their hard earned money to buy Grease tickets just to laugh at someone. They even made it one of the best selling shows in New York this summer. That makes sense. And I'm sure the producers of Grease would make the offer to let him include his music as part of the tour show because he was so bad. Yep, that makes sense.
Oh and the DVD was no 1 yesterday in new releases. So off to a fair start. He gets to sell his stuff at the Grease shows so that will help.
No boyfriends, but really if he did I wouldn't care, its his voice I like. Talented man. No freak outs.
And if headcases make you smile, Amanda should be making you grin big time. These people who follow Taylor or anyone around to convince people not to like him or his fans are just the strangest thing. Why do they care who I like?
Find someone of their own.
Weird how jadd's Taylor Swift article has turned into Taylor Hicks comments. Thats Hicks for you, always gettin the attention.
Just an FYI, I am not a Soul Patroler whatever they are exactly, barely 30, just a fan.
Not trying to convert anyone. Just pointing out a few facts. We all should be free to like who we want. So long.
Why thanks, jadd. I see that Miss Passive-Aggressive has made her "last" appearance. She usually come back for a goodbye encore even though the curtain konked her on the noggin and the ushers are shooing out the crowd.
Ladies, ladies, relax. There's plenty Jadditude to go around.
In all seriousness, I'm not attacking you or your fondness for Taylor Hicks, tyrpentine. All I said was Amanda was stellar because she has my dry sense of humor. Did I not tell you I had some toe-tapping going on to the link you posted on YouTube? Taylor Hicks may not be my cup of java, but that's not to say he doesn't have talent. Obviously you gotta have SOMETHING if you're album debuts at the top of the charts and you star in a play. I'm just not into him, and it's my right. Other than the punchline I used in the original article, I haven't said one bad thing about him.
That being said...Amanda. Let's date.
If you like a dry sense of humor, you'll love these blogs. But watch out, the Soul Patrol will be really, really mad if you say you enjoy them.

I am cracking up here Jadd so I just had to post once more. I am supposed to be trying to convert you to like Hicks. Which I wasn't by the way, I just wanted you to know he hadn't died. hehe
Really, its fine by me if you don't like him. For me, I think if I hear "Don't you Know You're Beautiful" one more time, I'm going to jump off a freakin bridge. But obviously someone loves it.
But now the old Taylor hater is trying to convert you to their side. Did you ever think the girls would be fighting over you? funny. Bertha4Tay might be funny if she weren't so dumb but it takes a tiny bit of intelligence to write satire and it just ain't there. I'm bookmarking you and maybe some day I'll come back and hook you up with some really good ones.
Passive-Aggressive?? the "overly-relaxed tyrp"? OMG now that is funny.
Amanda's point proven.
wow, i missed alot by not posting on here lately.. how did such a small comment get blown up so badly?!?! she said she doesn't like to be mistaken for somebody else.. isn't that normal? i'm a twin... i know the feeling! haha relax
I THINK THAT TAYLOR SWIFT IS WAY, WAY, WAY BETTER THAN TAYLOR HICKS. NO OFFENCE HICKS FANS BUT THEYRE JUST DIFFERENT. I, PERSONALLY LIKE SWIFT BETTER THAN HICKS CAUSE SHES FRESH AND NEW AND JUST PLAIN, DROP DEAD GORGEOUS. I THINK, IF POSSIBLE, I WOULD TOTALLY DATE HER. THATS JUST MY OPINION. ANYWAY. HEARD THE NEW RUMOR? HICKS IS GAY. HES GONNA GET MARRIED SOON TO ANOTHER GUY! GD LUCK HICKS FANS TRYING TO AVOID THAT.
XOXOXO SWIFT FANS
FU-K ALL HICKS FANS (ACUALLY, ID RATHER NOT IN THE TRUE MEANING OF THE WORD. XD )
