ACMs 2013

Last night was the Academy of Country Music Awards. Taylor was up for Album of the Year, Female Vocalist, and the all important Entertainer of the Year. Sadly, and shockingly, she walked away empty handed.

The night was off to a good start with jokes and funny moments from the hosts. Taylor brought her mom and dad to the event. During many of the musical acts Taylor was found to be having a great time which included dancing. She sat next to Tim McGraw and his wife Faith Hill.

Album of the Year, went to Erich Church and Female Vocalist of the Year went to Miranda Lambert.

Even though millions of swifties voted, Taylor lost Entertainer of the Year to Luke Bryan.  Personally, I don't see how that is possible because Luke Bryan doesn't sell out shows in a matter of seconds and I can't recall any of his albums selling over a million copies in the first week (two times over). But oh well. Taylor is an epic performer and Red is an epic tour.

However, the night was not a total disappointment for swifties everywhere. Taylor took the stage with Tim and Keith Urban for their musical collaboration: Highway Don't Care. Insane. Epic. Amazing. Swift-tastic. Those are all words to describe the performance. I'd highly recommend heading to iTunes and getting a copy of the single. You won't regret it.

 

She also got to go on her date this year with Kevin McGuire, a former cancer patient whom she invited to come with her last year but ended up missing the show due to chemotherapy. Taylor promised to take Kevin and his family to the show this year, and of course she kept her word. She and Kevin enjoyed a cute date earlier in the day.
