Last night was the Country Music Association Awards and Taylor Swift was the night’s big winner. She won four awards including the coveted Entertainer of the Year.

Once the ceremony started, the night belonged to Swift. She was the youngest person ever and first solo female act in 10 years to win the coveted title of Entertainer of the Year.

"I will never forget this moment, because in this moment everything that I have ever wanted has just happened to me," she said in one of her acceptance speeches.

Even fellow award winner Brad Paisley acknowledged that the 19-year-old sensation owned the night. He said she was the reason that country music is so hot right now.

"It’s her," Paisley said. "This 19-year-old came in to show us how to do it."

Here is a couple of Taylor Swift highlight reels from last night, including her two performances:

Update:

I forgot this. Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley took a nice dig at Kanye West:

Here’s some news that’s sure to give Kanye West renewed heartburn:

At just 19 years old, country music superstar Taylor Swift continues to shatter records, this time on the Billboard albums chart. This week her debut album, "Taylor Swift," becomes the longest charting album of the century.

Her self-titled debut spends 157 weeks on the chart this week, taking the title for the album spending the most number of weeks inside Billboard’s Top 200 Albums.

Congratulations to Taylor for kicking so much musical ass — and for being a class act while doing so.

I don’t see how they can get away with this. Someone really could have a heart attack…

Rush Limbaugh was in great form last night on Jay Leno. Not only did have ample opportunity to espouse conservative dogma, he even got to run over Al Gore — twice.

Miley Cyrus Debuts Patriotic New Video For ‘Party In The USA’

Chris Jones — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 03:34:09 +0000

Patriotic displays are a common occurrence in country music, but relatively rare in mainstream pop music (at least prior to Obama). In fact, you’re much more likely to see some kind of anti-American display than any kind of flag waving.

On the other hand, flag waving is exactly what you get in Miley Cyrus’s new video for her hit single “Party In The USA”. It may well be the most pro-American imagery ever witnessed on MTV.

It’s the kind of blatant, unapologetic patriotism that usually comes with a disclaimer in Nancy Pelosi’s district.

Kudos to Miley for making a great record and a great video.

Also, Miley looks incredibly hot in this video. (I know, I’m not supposed to say that — but somebody had to).

Why did she have to pick NBC to work for? Doesn’t she realize how much they hate her family? Moreover, how did Fox allow the cretins at NBC to grab Jenna Bush?

That said, it’s a good video.

Kanye West Ruins Taylor Swift’s Moment At The 2009 MTV Video Music Awards

Chris Jones — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 15:07:57 +0000

Kanye West is an asshole — pure and simple. Taylor Swift won “Best Female Video” — her first VMA win ever, only to have her moment stolen away by arrogant asshole Kanye West. West burst onto the stage in the middle of her acceptance speech to say he was happy for Taylor, but Beyonce had the best video and should have won (I’m paraphrasing).

By the time West’s rant was over Taylor’s speech time was over and she had to just walk off the stage. To the audience’s credit however, they didn’t let Kanye get away with it. He was loudly booed for the rest of the night anytime his name was mentioned and he was thrown out of the show.

Kanye West is a world class dick.

It’s also worth mentioning that Beyonce was a total class act. She won an award later in the show and invited Taylor Swift on-stage to have the moment Kanye rudely stole from her. Beyonce recalled being 17 and winning her first VMA and how much it had meant to her.

Kanye issued a phony apology today via his blog. He’s sorry for what he did, but not sorry for what he said.

Hey Kanye, you’re still a huge dick.

Incidentally, one the most popular posts in Hot Joints history is the Taylor Swift/Miley Cyrus duet from several months ago.
