The 2011 Country Music Awards have been announced, y’all. And of course, Taylor Swift has nabbed herself a ton of nominations.

Swift has been nominated for Entertainer of the Year, where she’ll compete against all men—Blake Shelton, Jason Aldean, Brad Paisley and Keith Urban. She’s also been nominated for Best Female Vocalist along with Sara Evans, Miranda Lambert, Martina McBride and Carrie Underwood.

Considering Taylor Swift is the reason most of us even listen to country, I can see her sweeping when the winners are announced live on air, November 9th. She’s also nominated for Album of the Year, Song of the Year, and Music Video of the Year.

Back in the day, the most popular country singers had lyrics about their dogs dying and their wives leaving them.
