 Country singer Wynonna Judd issued an apology to Taylor Swift.  Earlier this week (Nov. 12), Judd told USA Today that Swift’s success is “too much of a good thing.”  Click here to read her full comment.

Swift made history by becoming the youngest person to win the entertainer of the year award at the CMA’s. 

Judd posted this comment on her Web site.  “I understand that my comment about Taylor Swift’s Entertainer of the Year nomination came across as a negative statement. My intent was not to take anything away from her talent and contributions to the country music industry…all of which are truly unprecedented for an artist of ANY age. Taylor is a beautiful, hard working young woman that deserves the success she has had and I support her as an artist and as a woman in the business.”

Now, country couple Faith Hill and Tim McGraw are defending Swift’s win. 

Hill told People magazine, “I think she worked her tail off the last couple of years, and she deserves to win.”
