Rolling Stone 'Women Who Rock' List Includes Taylor Swift, Dolly Parton, Patsy Cline


Taylor Swift, Dolly Parton and Patsy Cline may have the love of the country community, but that didn't stop Rolling Stone from including them in its "Women Who Rock" list. The countdown, which details "50 of the fiercest albums that female rock & rollers have given the world," brings together an eclectic group from Lady Gaga to Carole King.

Taylor Swift is recognized at No. 45 for her 2010 chart-topping album, Speak Now, which includes "Long Live," a tune the magazine calls "the best Bon Jovi song Bon Jovi never wrote." Additionally, the publication crowns her "one of the few genuine rock stars" of her time, who has a "flawless ear for what makes a song click."

At No. 32 comes "one of Nashville's toughest songwriters ever," as described by the legendary mag, Dolly Parton. Her 1975 greatest hits collection makes the list, which describes her classic tune, "Jolene" as "one of the most obsessively complex love stories ever captured in a country song." (Watch Dolly perform "Jolene" live below.)

The highest ranking country album, The Patsy Cline Collection, which was released in 1991, comes in at No. 15. Calling the late legend "a bad *** cowgirl drama queen," Rolling Stone deems Patsy's creations "some of the torchiest, weepiest country songs ever."

Also making the list were Linda Ronstadt's 1974 record, Heart Like a Wheel, which came in at 42, and Lucinda Williams' 1998 project, Car Wheels On a Gravel Road, at 47. The No. 1 woman who rocks is Aretha Franklin with her 1967 album, I Never Loved a Man the Way I Love You.

Taylor Swift Unveils New Fragrance

After the mega-success of Taylor Swift's debut Wonderstruck perfume last fall, the singer has decided to release another scent.

Described as an "irresistible blend of luscious wild berries and sugar-glazed petals wrapped in a touch of sensuality," her new fragrance continues to be deeply-rooted in romance.

"Wonderstruck Enchanted is the next chapter in the story of my Wonderstruck fragrance," the singer told WWD. "Wonderstruck is about that moment when you instantly feel a connection to someone, but then there's that feeling of being completely enamored -- enchanted -- when you know a little more about that someone and still feel that strong connection."

A perfume inspired by true love -- how darling is that? Perhaps even more adorable is that the new Wonderstruck Enchanted collection will also include scented tattoos and locker fresheners.

Swift's new fragrance will sweep through stores in September and will vary in price, from $18 to $59.
