Paisley Leads CMA Nominations, Swift Not Far Behind



Country star Brad Paisley grabs the most nominations for this year's Country Music Awards, garnering 6 nominations, including Entertainer of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year. But the big talk around town is Ms. Taylor Swift, who is the lone female artist to be up for Entertainer of the Year.

Swift snagged a total of 4 nominations, and will compete against favorite Carrie Underwood, Martina McBride, Miranda Lambert, and Reba McEntire for Female Vocalist of the Year.

Country music has always been a male-dominated genre, but this year is the year of the females!!

In April Underwood took home Entertainer of the Year at the Academy of Country Music Awards, becoming only the 7th female to ever win, and in the same awards show Swift won Album of the Year for her 3x platinum disc Fearless.

Swift deserves to take home the Entertainer of the Year Award; no one has had such a successful year in ANY genre, and I think she'll be the one to beat!
