"Capo" that Guitar?

A friend on Facebook suggested that all Taylor Swift songs sound the same. The few I’ve heard are constructed similarly, and they are all capoed up a few frets. This allows for easier playing, as the strings are closer to the frets and easier to play. The frets are also closer when a capo is applied, so smaller fingers don’t have to reach so far.

By the way, "capoed" is not a word in the dictionary, though I hear musicians use "capo" as a verb all the time. Perhaps it's because barré can be used as a verb. Barré is shortening all the strings at once using one finger to play barré chords—something children and many adults find difficult to do.
