The Country Music Association sent Taylor Swift a message at their annual awards yesterday and the message was this: you can be pop just not that pop.
Taylor Swift eas shut out of the Awards yesterday though she is the standard bearer of a new generation and the future of country music, so the godawaful Carrie Underwood and the highly popular though somewhat disappointing Lady Antebellum can take home fistfuls of the suckers.
