Is Taylor Swift REALLY the new Van Halen?

In this guitar player's opinion, there's a big difference between making someone want to pick up a guitar because you're popular and happen to be holding a guitar on stage and actually inspiring someone to play the guitar because of your wizardry on the instrument. Side note: I think we're out of the woods and in the clear on this now. I knew it was trouble when I made a video like this, but this subject would either last forever or go down in flames. Hopefully this doesn't cause any bad blood, but if it does, I'm just gonna shake it, sh sh sh shake it off.
