I expect to see lots of good press from her CMT Awards wins tonight.
==
7:50 p.m.:And we're out. Taylor Swift was already on the verge of stardom. Two wins at the CMTs in Nashville, for video of the year and female video for her single “Our Song,” may not define her career, but it will provide a nice sales boost heading into next week. More TV exposure can only help broaden Swift's already ardent fanbase.
Same holds true for newcomer Kelly Pickler who took home three awards during Monday's Country Music Television awards. Pickler won breakthrough video, tearjerker video and performance of the year for “I Wonder."

5:32 p.m.: Taylor Swift, walking barefoot ("My shoes were killing me"), and holder her high heels in her left hand as she gives the breakthrough video of the year award to: Kellie Pickler's "I Wonder." Pickler gives a high-pitched shout-out to Nashville machine "American Idol."
While Bucky doesn't get a full song sing, Pickler is allowed to go as long as she wants. So much so she has to ask [to] have the cameras turned off: "Am I off the air?"
