Taylor Swift backlash?

It's lonely at the top.

After Taylor Swift won album of the year at Sunday's Grammys, blogs like Jezebel and PopEater are inevitably wondering if the young country star is due for a backlash.

In a way, the discussions are unfair.

Swift's "Fearless" did incredibly well -- it was the top-selling album of 2009.

What's more, while proving herself as a successful businesswoman, the singer has done a lot to revitalize country music. And frankly, I was just happy Dave Matthews Band didn't win album of the year. (Sorry, Lily.)

But would I be surprised to see a sudden deluge of Swift haters? No.

I think people's biggest concern is her longevity in the music business. You can only sing about fairy tales and high school bleachers for so long. And right now, so much of Swift's popularity seems to be due to her ability to target and identify with a specific demographic.

I also question Swift's uniqueness.

One of the reasons I wanted Gaga to win album of the year is because she's not afraid to push the envelope, to redefine not only traditional dance music but also our perceptions of the qualities that constitute a pop star. Swift, in contrast, seems to only play to the qualities that have been associated with young adulthood for ages.

The Kanye West debacle from the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards doesn't help, either. It's now easy to dismiss every one of Swift's honors as part of a giant pity party. Of course, that's something beyond her control.

Usually, I'm the last one to jump to Swift's defense.

However, maybe instead of predicting her demise, we should just let her enjoy Sunday's wins without future "what ifs" looming over her shoulders.

After all, that's the way it happens in fairy tales.
