Taylor Kicking Off CMA's
Taylor Swift has been tapped to open the 43rd annual CMA Awards tomorrow night (Wednesday, November 11th) with a live performance. Her appearance there comes on the heels of her much-praised appearance as both host and musical guest on Saturday Night Live over the weekend. Taylor gave the NBC show a season-high rating of 5.0!

The CMA Awards, hosted by Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood, will air live from the Sommet Center in Nashville on ABC-TV at 7 p.m. CT.

In addition to Taylor, performers already announced include Jason Aldean, Brooks & Dunn, Kenny Chesney and Dave Mathews, Billy Currington, Vince Gill and Daughtry, Kid Rock and Jamey Johnson, Lady Antebellum, Miranda Lambert, Martina McBride, Reba McEntire, Tim McGraw, Brad Paisley, Darius Rucker, George Strait, Sugarland, Carrie Underwood, Keith Urban, and Zac Brown Band.

Dale Earnhardt Jr., Neil Flynn, Patricia Heaton, Julianne Hough, Randy Houser, The Judds, Kid Rock, Kris Kristofferson, Jake Owen, Kellie Pickler, LeAnn Rimes, Robin Roberts, and Lee Ann Womack will all present awards during the telecast.

Taylor is up for four awards this year - Entertainer; Female; Album for Fearless; and Music Video for "Love Story."

She qualifies for a fifth trophy because she produced Fearless with Nathan Chapman.

Nineteen-year-old Taylor is the youngest artist ever to be nominated for Entertainer.
