as difficult as it can be sometimes to remain composed in the face of a hater, the rewards can be truly satisfying — a stunning performance, new fans and the kind of publicity turnaround that aids your career (and doesn’t stain it). such was the case last night for taylor swift at the 2010 video music awards. many wondered why such a big deal was being made over her rise to fame. the culmination was an ugly rant by kanye west as swift accepted an award at last year’s event. well, her performance last night was nothing short of remarkable. truly. what opened with a video acknowledgement of nightmares past ended with a dreamscape few (if any) have staged at a live awards show. that’s how you answer your critics. congratulations taylor.
