Congrats to Taylor Swift are in order once again.
The 23-year-old is busy touring in Australia & New Zealand right now so she couldn’t be at the American Country Awards last night, but she did earn one of the big awards of the night. “Highway Don’t Care,” Tim McGraw’s country hit that features Taylor and Keith Urban racked up three awards during the show but the big award for Taylor was the Worldwide Artist Award.
Olivia Newton-John took the stage to present the award for the first time and viewers got to see a glimpse at Taylor’s worldwide success and why she deserves this award. It then went to a sweet video of Taylor accepting her award backstage in Australia.
