Hello Taylor Nation!
Yes, I still owe you a gallery of pictures and all the encounter stories from Speak Now Nashville… but let me catch you up on the news first, ok? Ok!
Honorees and winners from the non-televised portion of the 46th Academy of Country Music Awards were celebrated with an evening of music and special tributes in the 5th Annual ACM Honors on September 19.
Taylor Swift received the Jim Reeves International Award that recognizes outstanding contributions to the acceptance of country music worldwide. Other honorees included Garth Brooks, Reba, Larry Gatlin & the Gatlin Brothers, among others. The event took place at the Ryman Auditorium in Nashville, Tennessee.
Here’s a sideways glance courtesy of Brian Mansfield of Taylor’s acceptance speech.

On other news, what’s the big announcement tomorrow? We don’t know:

I mean, we really don’t know. We’re not playing coy. We’re not doing that Taylor thing where she says “whaat?” and pulls at her clothes trying to look busy. We. Don’t. Know.
