What a night.

I can't even tell you how excited I am. Tonight was SO unbelievable, and I've never had more fun onstage. I've wanted to tell you guys all the little surprises we had planned for the performance for so long! I've dreampt about that performance since I was in middle school. I've always wanted to perform an angry song and have water rain down from the ceiling and have a little freakout onstage. Always wanted to do that. So a few months ago, when I was offered a performance on the ACMs, I had this epiphone: I need to do that rain idea on the ACMs this year!! So we met with the producer of the show in my tour bus and I got a black hoodie and acted out how I was dreaming up the performance. And the Academy of Country Music rules because: they made my dreams come true tonight. I'm about to post the video of it on my page, if you missed it. Oh, and the water was like 40 degrees. So cold.

Honestly I didn't expect to come away with an award, and I have you to thank for all of the things you've done to support me. You're the reason my album is 3x platinum. You're the reason the concerts sell out. You're the reason I'm able to be out here in Vegas. And you're the reason I'm taking home my first ACM Award for Top New Female Vocalist. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

I got to pose with Kellie for some People shots after the awards. We posed like we were beating each other up in a huge catfight. Haha. (She was pulling my hair and I was tugging at her dress and trying to push her off me while we both made grimacing faces) It was pretty awesome. I hope they run those shots. hahah. I got to see Heidi Newfeild, who sings one of my FAVORITE songs out right now "Johnny and June". I have a total song crush on that song. Brilliantly written. She's so sweet too. It was such a joy sitting so close to George Strait and his wife Norma. Touring with him was an honor, and every time I get around him, I realize what composure and grace he carries himself with. Nicole Kidman is so incredibly gracious and friendly, and gets the "Most Beautiful in Person" award. Hands down.

I'll write more about the night, and all the things going on soon. I have to get to sleep now though! I'm flying home tomorrow. Can't wait to hear what you guys thought of the night! Love you so much.

Hi Taylor, I agree you are a great role model for all the young people of today...You show them not to give up and follow your dream.
Taylor , the performance you did was so cool. You seemed to enjoy ever moment of it and that is important. You love what you do and that is why to me your music comes out so vibrant and strong. I love your songs and I wish you all the luck and God Bless ...Keep up the good work.

Im sooo happy for you!!! I had to miss it though :( Im sure it will be on again (hopefully). But you are an amazing person and an incredible role model. And your song Invisble, is the best. I wish I could make him realize that she will NEVER love him like I do. But time will take care of everything.

BUT CONGRATS CHICKA!! YOU DESERVE IT!!

Taylor, I am so so so sorry that I missed it, please forgive me. My car broke down and the people I am staying with don't do country music at all. Lots of crying at this end, for sure. You deserved every thing you got. You have worked hard to get exactly where you want to be, and the cool thing for all of us fans, is that you are only going to get better!! Keep your feet on the ground and let your heart soar girl, you have an amazing talent, and I look forward to several more decades of listening to you. I cannot wait for your new CD to come out. Sending lotsaluv Lisa

Hi Taylor!
I just wanted to say that the performance was amazing - I LOVE that song, it is my favorite off of your album, so it was incredible not only to see you perform it but essentially act out the frustration. Amazing.

Taytor Tottttttt.<3
You were soooo amazing tonight,I'm still in shock. Your performance for sure went down in award show performance history! You have no idea how proud I am of you. Thank you soooo much for being able to tell my life story just by performing your songs;you've helped me out SOOOOO much,and I don't know how to thank you. Thank you for always setting the right examples for girls like me to look up to. You have touched my heart;and you deserve everything life can offer you! I'm going to be seeing you next Sunday in Orange Beach,AL and I'm going to give you the BIGGEST hug ever because you always give me the biggest hugs everytime I see you. I also have a graduation present for you,and plenty of cards!!!! I offered a few of my MySpace friends if they wanted to write you a letter & I would give it to you;so I have about 4 extra ones after you get mine. I love you sooooo much and you never STOP touching my life.

I love you Tayyyyyyyyy.<3

Congrat's on the win. I didn't get to see your perfomance. Had some family stuff going on with a stranded daughter. I do have it recorded and can't wait to see it. Grand daughter made sure she "protected" it on the DVR so she can watch it over and over this summer.

Congratulations Taylor!When you started your song I thought Taylor usually doesn't wear jeans on an award show and when you were getting wet I said poor Taylor ,I wonder how she feels being all wet on an awards show but now I read it was your idea.Your performance was different and one of the best.I enjoyed the awards the only was Sugarland didn't win duo I thought it was their year.
I met Heidi last year at fan fair I agree she is very nice.
When will you have a fan club and party at fan fair?I haven't met you yet.

Taylor Alison Swift.
Where do I even begin.
I cannot believe all the amazing things you have accomplished.
It blows me away.
and that performance; Oh My God.
I still cannot get over how AMAZING it was!
I had to rewind it and watch it 2367.53 times!
and I still am replaying it in my mind to try and understand that it actually happened.
It was just that amazing<3
Top New Female Vocalist.
You are too cool Taylor. Don't ever stop being you.
I love you!
