It is a good year to be Taylor Swift. On Wednesday night, she became the youngest person and first solo female act in a decade to win the Country Music Association's award for entertainer of the year. Her supremacy didn't stop there, either. She won every category in which she was nominated, including best female vocalist (upsetting Carrie Underwood's three-year streak), album of the year for Fearless, (also the top-selling CD of the year), and video of the year for "Love Story." After wining entertainer of the year, Swift gushed, "Everything that I have ever wanted has just happened to me," although with characteristic modesty she noted, "every single person on that category let me open up for them this year. Thank you all so much." (The Hollywood Reporter)
