 Country singer Wynonna Judd issued an apology to Taylor Swift.  Earlier this week (Nov. 12), Judd told USA Today that Swift’s success is “too much of a good thing.”  Click here to read her full comment.

Swift made history by becoming the youngest person to win the entertainer of the year award at the CMA’s. 

Judd posted this comment on her Web site.  “I understand that my comment about Taylor Swift’s Entertainer of the Year nomination came across as a negative statement. My intent was not to take anything away from her talent and contributions to the country music industry…all of which are truly unprecedented for an artist of ANY age. Taylor is a beautiful, hard working young woman that deserves the success she has had and I support her as an artist and as a woman in the business.”

Now, country couple Faith Hill and Tim McGraw are defending Swift’s win. 

Hill told People magazine, “I think she worked her tail off the last couple of years, and she deserves to win.”

McGraw told the magazine “I’ve been doing this a long time and she’s got a better head on her shoulders than I do, so I don’t know how anybody could complain about that.”

Country singer Randy Travis also weighed in on the topic.  Travis told the magazine, “as a writer, she is a phenomenal talent.  When you look at the body of work that she has written at the age when she came into this business, it’s remarkable. It really is. But do I think that entertainer of the year might have been a little early? In my opinion, yes, for whatever that’s worth.”

Personally, I don’t understand why some people are against Swift winning the top awards at a young age.  If you don’t think she should win because you don’t like her music, that’s fine. 

But I don’t think her age should be an issue.  Outside of the country music industry, teenage singers frequently win top awards. 

When Britney Spears was a teenager, she dominated the award shows.  Someone’s age shouldn’t be a factor.

Kanye West isn’t the only entertainer who feels Taylor Swift shouldn’t win the top awards.  Country singer Wynonna Judd feels Swift has too much success too soon. 

On the red carpet before the Country Music Awards began, when Judd was asked what advice she would give Swift, she replied “You want my honest comment? It’s too much too soon.  Time is God’s way of keeping everything from happening at once. It’s just too much of a good thing too soon. My thing is, being a home-school mom, I want kids to earn it, and I think some time cause mom and I rode in a car for the first year of our career to visit radio stations. There was a making of the star, there was a rising up, and the fans went with us. Now it’s over coffee breaks, the success, almost. You have to play catch up. It’s like the girl who wins an Oscar and she’s under 20. What do you do from here?” (according to USA Today).

To be fair, Judd’s comments were made BEFORE 19-year-old Swift won the top award for entetainer of the year.   But based on her comments, I think it’s safe to say Judd doesn’t think Swift should have won that award this soon. 

Judd never snatched a microphone from Swift, (Like Kanye did) but I’m curious to see if there will be any backlash against Judd for that comment.
