Taylor Swift, 19 won Entertainer of the Year and three more awards Wednesday night at the Country Music Association Awards in Nashville, including album of the year.
The singer became the youngest person and the first solo female act in ten years to win as Entertainer of the year. She also took best video of the year for "Love Story" and best female vocalist.
"In this moment everything that I have ever wanted has just happened to me," the singer told the audience in tears.
The Entertainer award is the highest honor the Country Music Association gives to musicians.
