One of my favorite albums of all time is Alanis Morrissette’s first internationally-released album, Jagged Little Pill. This was the album which sky-rocketed her to fame and which won her the Album of the Year Grammy in 1996.
I was a tween at that time, and this …

I can honestly say I’m not a Taylor Swift fan, and that’s not because I don’t like her it’s just I don’t really fall into her target audience. I prefer to listen to music that caters to my age group and a bit more maturity.
