Taylor Swift named country music entertainer of year

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Taylor Swift won the top honor at the Country Music Association awards show on Wednesday, taking the trophy for entertainer of the year for the second time.

The 21-year-old country pop crossover artist, whose Speak Now album is one of the year's best-sellers, beat veterans Brad Paisley, Blake Shelton, Keith Urban and the favorite, Jason Aldean, in her only win of the night.
