The nominees are in for the fourth annual American Country Awards, and to the surprise of no one at all, Taylor Swift leads the way with eight nominations. The 23-year-old megastar, who somehow failed to actually win one last year, is up for Artist of the Year and Single of the Year for her song, “Begin Again.” Once again, however, Swift’s competition will be formidable. Not far behind Swift with seven nominations a piece are the great Tim McGraw, The Voice coach Blake Shelton and rising duo Florida Georgia Line. The American Country Awards will be hosted by Trace Adkins and NASCAR’s Danica Patrick. The show airs live on Fox from Las Vegas on December 19.
