Taylor Swift was named entertainer of the year by the Associated Press. Taylor has had a huge year – from top selling singles – to microphone stealers to SNL skits. Taylor is the it girl this year. And she’s only 20!

More pictures of Taylor after the song…

Taylor deserves this, if you ask me. No drug scandals, no sexy pictures leaked. Class act. From the Hollywood Gossip:

“I am so honored and so excited,” Swift said after receiving the honor, which was voted on by newspaper editors and broadcast producers “This was so unexpected, and I could not be more grateful.”

“In a time of ‘made’ musicians, she writes her own songs and has her own sparkly style,” said Danielle Kiracofe, entertainment editor for the Stars and Stripes military newspaper. “She’s managed to do all of this with grace, class and poise — and without uttering a swear word, dancing on a pole or wearing next to nothing. At the age of 20.”

Good for her! It’s time someone was recognized for their talents and not how many sexy pictures they get posted online. Keep up the good work Taylor!
