Taylor Swift Wins 2011 Entertainer Of The Year Award At The CMAs

November 10th, 2011

The Country Music Awards came and went, but not before awarding Taylor Swift with a repeat win of her 2009 honour for Entertainer of the Year. And the heart-warming acceptance speech? “One of my favorite things this year is the camaraderie of these artists” clearly hinting at the fact she’s performed with a bunch of different country acts over the last year, including Ronnie Dunn, Kenny Chesney, and Tim McGraw.

The other big winner of the evening was Lady Antebellum. They won their third straight victory in the Best Vocals category. And even better news? Lead singers (and also husband and wife) Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert won Best Male and Best Female Vocals for the second straight year in a row.
