Swift was hardly the downfall of country; the amount of autotuned trash from both sexes now is off the charts. I can't make myself listen to a country channel for the rare genuine song because I start to rage at the horrid garbage they play the rest of the time.
It's probably hard to pin it on anyone in particular - the Grand Ole Opry had their heads up their asses long before country music started sucking for real. I guess outlaw country defined itself by not following the rules of the Nashville scene.
I've never been to the US, so the closest thing I came to an American country channel was some cassette recordings my dad made in the 80s and that we kept listening to in the car. Obviously learning about contemporary country music was a shock for me once I started spending too much time online.
