Kanye West isn’t the only entertainer who feels Taylor Swift shouldn’t win the top awards.  Country singer Wynonna Judd feels Swift has too much success too soon. 

On the red carpet before the Country Music Awards began, when Judd was asked what advice she would give Swift, she replied “You want my honest comment? It’s too much too soon.  Time is God’s way of keeping everything from happening at once. It’s just too much of a good thing too soon. My thing is, being a home-school mom, I want kids to earn it, and I think some time cause mom and I rode in a car for the first year of our career to visit radio stations. There was a making of the star, there was a rising up, and the fans went with us. Now it’s over coffee breaks, the success, almost. You have to play catch up. It’s like the girl who wins an Oscar and she’s under 20. What do you do from here?” (according to USA Today).

To be fair, Judd’s comments were made BEFORE 19-year-old Swift won the top award for entetainer of the year.   But based on her comments, I think it’s safe to say Judd doesn’t think Swift should have won that award this soon.
