    I am so over Taylor Swift, she is completely overexposed. And now she is the entertainer of the year? EW, you can do better than that. I wish she would go away for awhile.

    • Seraphina CloudBurst

      Perhaps if “you” go away to a deserted island, you won’t hear about her. Make sure they don’t have radio there or you’ll be out of luck. hehehehe

      From what I’ve read so far, it seems the non complimentary posts seem to hold a little more weight than the complimentary ones. So, you’re complaining that Taylor gets too much exposure, but do you know that you are helping to add that overexposure?

  • Lucy Blue

    Well, I’ve long suspected it, but now I know – I am completely out of touch with popular taste. Seriously? A child-woman who writes and sings spiral-bound notebook poetry about her Meanie McMeanigans ex-boyfriends is the most significant pop culture artist of the entire year? Hang on to those unicorn posters, kids – they’re gonna be worth a fortune soon.

    • Patrick

      Taylor will be 21 soon and she’s all woman and not a girl anymore.

    This article lost me right after it said that the movie Valentine’s day was a hit. Not to mention that TS performance in the movie was panned by every critic. Oh well, EW continues to cater to teens, it’s no big surprise.

    • Krista

      really you think EW just caters to teens? they just had THE Walking Dead on the cover. clearly adults enjoy that show more than teens not to mention they just had a cover for Love and Other Drugs where Anne Hathaway and Jake G where naked. trust me I doubt teens really read this magazine. they’re supposed to cover entertainment and yes that includes people like Taylor, the Twilight cast, etc. the only other people that I can think of that maybe deserve this are Sandra Bullock (who got it last year)or maybe someone like eminem. I also can’t believe that people think Katy Perry is more talented than Taylor. if you take away her gimmicks she is a terrible singer. I watched her on the Grammy Nominations special last night and she was terrible. really I can’t think of someone more talked about than Taylor. this isn’t given to the celebs who have the most TALENT, it’s given to had everyone talking which Taylor did.

    • Donna

      Yeah, you know by hit they mean that it sold a lot of tickets, not necessarily that it was well-received. The EW review wasn’t even favorable. So count me as a supporter of Krista’s comment above. If you think The Walking Dead and Love and Other Drugs are just for teens, there’s something wrong here.

  • jess

    Not cast of JERSEY SHORE?

  • Sarah

    Taylor has entertained the masses, kept people talking, best selling albums and tons of radio play. She’s drawn in a large mass of fans into country music, and had a completely sold out tour. She was also the first artist to sell over a million copies the first week of her album release in over 5 years. Someone tell me how she is NOT top entertainer this year? She may not be your personal taste but like her or not, clearly this girl is doing something right.

    • LMAO

      TRUE THAT! GIRL, PREACH!!!

  • Ryan

    I thought they would have used Betty White.

    • Lisa Simpson

      I would have preferred Betty White.

    • Kenley

      Betty White had notoriety on her stint with SNL. Taylor did too, but add along the other 8 things that Taylor did that Betty White did not do during the year just puts a little more edge towards Taylor getting the title.

      • Taryn

        Betty and Taylor were both excellent in their appearances and they both have the ability to bring in the young and the older viewing audience.

  • Jerry

    Spielberg was once Entertainer of the Year. Now a pre packaged skinny girl with a so so voice gets it. Shows you how our popular culture has fallen.

  • Sven

    Yet another reason I am letting my subscription expire…

    • Kenley

      Another liar.

      @@

    • LMAO

      GO UNSUBSCRIBE, AS IF HER FANS WOULD CARE LOL

  • Andrea D

    Just another example of stupid people are. Now I get to mourn the missed opportunity of seeing Jon Hamm on your cover. Come to think of it, HOW MANY TIMES HAS THAT HAPPENED???

    • Karate Pants

      I think it would have made more sense to have the entire cast of Mad Men as Entertainer of the Year (they’ve had casts hold the title many times).

      • nodnarb

        Or the whole AMC programming team. They’ve had a stellar year.

      • Karate Pants

        Indeed. They have evolved with their programming in exactly the opposite way that MTV has, and they deserve kudos for successfully recognizing and delivering creative talent to the masses.

    • Kenley

      Joh Hamm is one of the alternate covers so go exchange it. Easy.

  • megan

    Why? EW you just lost all credibility with me and I’ve been a long time reader for over 10 years. James Franco makes the most sense as Entertainer of the year. The man was taking on two grad degrees, did two movies, starred on a soap opera, is about to host the oscars, did host SNL, and put together some art exhibt this year…While he might be a bit crazy, he was definitely talented and entertaining…Taylor Swift is none of the above…I seriously know no one that likes the girl. Kanye might have chosen poor timing, but I support him a hundred percent, she will never have best anything!

    • yournightmare

      well you really are slow then…she has plenty of best behind her name already. Bestselling digital artist of all time for example. You fail.

    • Kenley

      You seriously know no one that likes Taylor? Really? You must hang out with a really boring bunch Megan. Your last sentence ruined any credibility you have as a poster.

        megan is a golddigga ughhhh but she ain’t hangin’ out with no broke broke ughhhh

        hehehehe

    • Patrick

      Kanye was a dirtbag then and he’s a dirtier scumbag now. He can’t seem to let it go and the word up for him sour as he is still “Taylor” cos he can’t get her outta his mind.

  • Beth

    Meh. But I’m looking forward to reading about Jon Hamm, Ben Affleck, and James Franco!

    Entertainer of the Year 2010 – Eminem!!! OR Nicki Minaj

    • jared4ever

      What about Lady Gaga? She has had the most sky-rocketing success of anyone.

    • gigi

      I think I understand stand EWs reasoning for TS as EOTY, but I don’t have to like it. Lady Gaga should have been last year’s choice. Nicki Minaj who came out of where has had a great year. Hopefully EW gave her some consideration.

  • The Gootch

    Swift Entertainer of the Year?/ really her music is average her legs look like a new born colt (all rickity) she’s not really hot…I don’t get it….

  • mark

    I was just going to say Boo for your choice, I am glad everyone agrees. I would have chosen Kanye West before her and I hate Kanye. Why do I even come to this site??

    • erica l

      because you have no life? hmmm… you come to a site you don’t even like to read… makes sense.

  • truth

    ironically this tart gets overexpoed after we learn she can’t sing
