"Taylor Swift's clean sweep of the Country Music Assn. Awards helped the broadcast reach its biggest audience in four years, according to preliminary figures released on Thursday.

The three-hour show averaged 16.8 million viewers for ABC on Wednesday, up from 15.9 million last year. It marks the highest score since 2005, when 17.7 million people tuned in to the CBS broadcast."

I have to admit, I'm not what you'd call a country music fan but it has changed so much over the years and several artists have been winning me over including Ms. Swift.  I'm not ready to sit through a whole CM awards show yet mind you but find it easy to be happy for Taylor and so many other new country artists. Way to go Taylor!
