Taylor Swift, Lady Antebellum, Brad Paisely, Darius Rucker and Sugarland were among the winners at the 43rd Country Music Association Awards in Nashville Wednesday.
Nineteen year-old singer Taylor Swift took four awards including the most coveted Entertainer of the Year award. She became the youngest artist ever to win it.
"I will never forget this moment because in this moment everything that I ever wanted has just happened to me," Swift told the audience.
The Association also awarded Darius Rucker as best new artist and he became the first black artist to win in that category.
