“I can’t think of a better opportunity than ‘Country Music’s Biggest Night’ to present an award of this magnitude to an artist of this caliber,” CMA President of the Board Ed Hardy recently shared in a statement. “I’ve known Taylor since she was 16. She came to my office with her mom to play her music and I was amazed. Taylor‘s outstanding career epitomizes the definition of the Pinnacle Award.”
