The annual award celebrates the achievements of a trailblazing female recording artist during the past 12 months and acknowledges her overall success and leadership in the music business.</p> <p>Check out a sample of the article below and be sure to pick up a copy on newsstands now!</p> <p><strong>Congratulations on being Billboard's Woman of the Year.</strong></p> <p>Thank you. It is pretty cool.</p> <p><strong>Just a few weeks ago was the five-year anniversary of your first album, released when you were 16. Now you're Woman of the Year. Where do you see yourself on that scale of girl and woman?</strong></p> <p>Growing up in this position, making music, writing songs and having everyone hear what I'm going through since I was about 16 years old, now I'm 21 about to be 22 -- I wouldn't have had it any other way. On a scale of being a girl or teenager or woman, I never tried to be the one to label myself which of those three I was. I've just tried to grow up in the most natural and gradual process that I possibly can and make choices I feel are right for me and my fans. Whether I'm a woman now, or whatever, is up to my fans to decide, not for me. I really haven't felt the need to make some bold statement of maturity or make the "dark" record yet.</p> <p><strong>Given the Woman of the Year honor, what women do you consider to be your role models, and why?</strong></p> <p>I have a lot of role models. Faith Hill is a big role model. Reese Witherspoon is a role model of mine-she's not in music, but I love everything she stands for. Shawn Colvin is a huge model for me. Her writing has been consistently great and thoughtful and wistful and beautiful. And also-[he's] not a girl-but Kris Kristofferson has been a big role model for me. When I look at people who I feel have really lived their lives and recorded their lives in music so beautifully, those are my role models. They've all taught me lessons just by example.</p><p>From <a href="http://www.taylorswift.co.uk/">www.taylorswift.co.uk</a></p>Sat, 03 Dec 2011 09:20:00 -0800http://www.taylorswift.co.uk/news/53553<br /><img src="http://groundctrl.s3.amazonaws.com/clients/taylorswift/media/04/11/medium.1e1c2e321785.jpg" /><br /><p> <div style="font: normal normal normal 12px/1.5em 'Lucida Grande', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; background-image: initial; background-attachment: initial; background-origin: initial; background-clip: initial; margin: 8px;"> <p>Taylor's third album, <em>Speak Now</em>, has been nominated for Best Country Album"Mean" has been nominated for Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance!The 2012 Grammy Awards are scheduled to air February 12 live on CBS.</p> </div> </p><p>From <a href="http://www.taylorswift.co.uk/">www.taylorswift.co.uk</a></p>Thu, 01 Dec 2011 09:40:00 -0800http://www.taylorswift.co.uk/news/53283<br /><img src="http://groundctrl.s3.amazonaws.com/clients/taylorswift/media/14/11/medium.408dl3wc5as5.jpg" /><br /><p>Tis the season for giving, and American Greetings Corporation and Taylor Swift are doing their part with the introduction of all new holiday cards and gifts and a very special promotion that has launched on Facebook.

The top prize, Taylors sixth CMA Award, completes a Triple Crown of major award wins this year for Taylor, who is Billboard s 2011 Woman of the Year and also the Academy of Country Musics reigning Entertainer of the Year.</p> <p>Entertainment Weekly called Taylors win undeniably deserved, saying, when it came to singing solo, accompanying herself on guitar, Taylor Swifts performance of achieved an effortless intimacy that reminded you all over again why shes such a big star.</p> <p>Taylor is only the second woman in history, along with Barbara Mandrell, to twice win CMA Entertainer of the Year. And, she did it at age 21.</p> <p>In addition to Taylor and Barbara Mandrell, only seven other artists in the 45-year history of the CMA Awards have won the coveted top prize more than once: Alabama, Hank Williams Jr., George Strait, Garth Brooks, Vince Gill, Alan Jackson and Kenny Chesney. Taylor was this years only female nominee in the Entertainer of the Year category.</p> <p>She's inspired legions of young girls to take up guitar and write their own songs, and she has spread the gospel of country music to the Far East, filling stadiums like few others can, the Associated Press wrote of Taylors big repeat CMA win. She crossed the 20 million mark in album sales and has almost no rival in the genre when it comes to bringing converts over the wall.</p> <p>She's made all that headway on the strength of her songs. She loves nothing better than the process of turning inspiration into something that makes a connection with people all over the planet.</p> <p>"All of the sudden this idea that was just yours is now everybody else's, and they sing it in their cars and sing it about their breakups or falling in love, and they incorporate it into their lives," Taylor said, talking about her songwriting in the backstage press room after the show.</p> <p>Taylor has spent this year on her SPEAK NOW WORLD TOUR in support of her 5+ million-selling Speak Now album, playing to capacity crowds in stadiums and arenas over 98 shows in 17 countries spanning three continents. When Taylor was first crowned CMA Entertainer of the Year in 2009, the year she launched her breakout FEARLESS headlining tour, she was the first female artist in a decade to take the trophy.</p> <p>The North American leg of Taylors SPEAK NOW WORLD TOUR wraps later this month with two sold-out shows at Madison Square Garden, and the tour has been extended into 2012 with shows in Australia and New Zealand.</p> <p>During the course of her tour, Taylor has been joined on stage by several surprise guest artists, and Taylor thanked each of them by name from the stage last night, acknowledging every artist who out of the goodness of their hearts, showed up and performed for the fans at my show. She also gave a big shout out to all the fans who filled up those stadiums and arenas all over the world this year!</p> <p>SPEAK NOW WORLD TOUR LIVE, CD/DVD and CD/Blu-ray sets of Taylors 2011 concert, will be available in stores and at online retailers on November 21st.
