Taylor Swift takes Entertainer of the Year in a huge upset at the Country Music Awards, Even she didn't see this one coming! Taylor Swift became the youngest Entertainer of the Year at the CMA Awards in Nashville tonight. The singer, who was nominated for four awards tonight, was visiblyshocked as her name was announced. What a night for the 19 year-old singer, who has had quite a year as well.
Swift was in good company among the nominations for Entertainer of the Year. Kenny Chesney (who has won it four times in the last five years), George Strait, Brad Paisley, and Keith Urban were also nominated. Did you happen to notice that Swift is the only female in this category? It's also safe to say that given the names of her fellow nominees, not too many thought Swift had a chance. Singer Vince Gill said before the show, "“Just watching the awards for so many years, I would be surprised if Taylor wins."
But win she did. Not since 1999 has a woman taken home the award in this category, and that was Shania Twain. Swift was in tears as she accepted her award, saying, "I will never forget this moment."
Swift took home all four awards she was nominated for tonight. During a pre-telecast, she received the award for Best Video of the Year and during the live show picked up Album of the Year and Best Female Artist as well. In addition, Swift performed twice, opening the show with a lively performance of 'Forever and Always.' Fans got to see the angry side of Swift as she tossed a chair across the stage.
Clearly the award of Entertainer of the Year will be her the highlight of her night - if not her life. Next up will be the American Music Awards, where she is nominated for five awards, including Artist of the Year.
