Win Flights And Tickets To See Taylor Swift, The Youngest Ever Star To Win Country Songwriter At BMI Awards
Online, November 15, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Taylor Swift won the Country Songwriter of the Year at the BMI Awards in Nashville on November 9th . At the age of 20 she is the youngest person in history to win the award. She is followed by Bill Anderson, who won the award in 1960 at age 23, and Johnny Cash, who was 24 when he won in 1956.
Taylor also won the evening's other big award, for Country Song of the Year, for "You Belong With Me". This made her the first-ever songwriter to win that award three years in a row. (Taylor's "Love Story" won Song of the Year in 2009, and "Teardrops on My Guitar" won in 2008.) This was her second BMI top song win this year - in May, she won Pop Song of the Year for "Love Story."
Taylor was honoured during the evening for her hits "Fifteen," "White Horse," and "You Belong With Me," all from her 6X-Platinum Fearless album, and for "Best Days of Your Life".
The Speak NOW WORLD TOUR 2011 is one of the most-anticipated musical experiences of the year, as Taylor's live show is renowned for her amazingly high-energy theatrical presentation of graphics, sets and visible aspects, all made by Taylor herself. Throughout each show, Taylor performs hit after hit from her three albums, including the chart-topping "Love Story," "You Belong With Me," "Fifteen," and "Mine." Throughout the program of the show, Taylor plays several different guitars and has several wardrobe changes.
