Taylor Swift Wins Entertainer of the Year (Video)
Taylor Swift was named Entertainer of the Year for the second time Wednesday night at the 45th annual CMA Awards, which aired live from Nashville on ABC.
Swift now joins Barbara Mandrell as the only other female artist in CMA history ever to be named Entertainer of the Year twice. “I’m so happy right now!,” gushed Taylor from the podium. “This is thanks to all the fans who filled up those stadiums and arenas all over the world this year.”
While Taylor snagged the evening’s most prestigious award, the night’s big winner was The Band Perry, who scooped up three trophies, including New Artist of the Year, and both Song and Single of the Year for their smash hit “If I Die Young.” Accepting the Song of the Year trophy was Kimberly Perry, who wrote “If I Die Young.”
“I truly believe that [the song] would’ve been written with or without me. It just always felt like a song that was meant to be here,” Perry said.
The CMA Awards ceremony was a homecoming of sorts for Faith Hill.
After a five-year absence from the CMA stage, the 44-year-old singer debuted her new single, “Come Home.” She was welcomed back with a standing ovation.
