Taylor Swift - CMA Awards 2008

Taylor Swift shines in a sequin and crystal Kaufman Franco gown, with Christian Louboutin shoes and jewelry by Lorraine Schwartz at the 2008 CMA Awards at the Sommet Center on Wednesday night in Nashville, Tenn.

The 18-year-old Fearless singer recently sat down with Extra and told Mario Lopez that it was a personal goal to write songs about her exes. “It’s sort of a personal goal for me to make songs so personal and so obvious, that if all my ex-boyfriends were to sit down and listen to my album, they would figure out which song is about them,” she said.

Taylor is nominated for Female Vocalist of the Year at the CMAs (Carrie Underwood claimed the prize). She also performed her hit songs “Love Story” and “Should’ve Said No” on The Ellen DeGeneres Show Tuesday. Take a glimpse of the show below:
