I thought about it as thenominees for the 42nd annual CMA Awards were announced today.
That is perennially reflected in the nominations for the CMAs highly coveted Entertainer of the Year prize.
How long has it been since a woman was even nominated in the category?
Heres a clue: The last female nominee was the then-superstar/now-pariah Dixie Chicks!
(you’ve got the option to find a historical list of nominees dating back to 1967here.)
Go, Stay…etc.
Willmans case for Taylor Swift as Entertainer of the Year, after the jump…
Consider: Her album has sold 3,364,000 copies (1,121,000 of those inthis calendar year).
Shesdrawing youth to the format what other act is showing up on countryradio billboards and Disney Radio billboards?
(Cue Tom Hanks at the end ofSaving Private Ryanhere.)
I only hope the aggrieved18-year-old girls of the world will join me in Swift-boating the CMAswith their protests.
