A two-time CMA Entertainer of the Year, Swift is nominated this year for Single of the Year with “I Knew It, I Knew You,” marking her 26th career CMA nomination. Her illustrious history with the CMA Awards spans two decades, first attending in 2006, winning her first CMA Award in 2007 (Horizon Award) and becoming the youngest Entertainer of the Year winner in 2009. To this day, she remains the youngest artist ever to win the honor.
At the 2013 CMA Awards, Swift received the prestigious Pinnacle Award, presented by Country artists Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, George Strait, Brad Paisley, Keith Urban and Rascal Flatts, artists she had opened for early in her career. She also performed “Red” with Vince Gill and Alison Krauss, her last performance on the CMA Awards stage.
