Back to back EOTY noms for TSwift! As much as i think she deserves it, i think they'll give it to aldean as he had a huge year and, well Taylor already won last year.
I'm surprised Brad didn't score an album of the year nomination.. This Is Country Music was huge. I hope he wins the Entertainer of the Year Award he truly does deserve it.. him or Aldean.
EOTY if we go by Tours its between Taylor and Chesney if we go by sales its between Taylor and Aldean if we go by fan bases its between Taylor and Aldean if we go by critical acclaim its between Taylor and Chesney if its between amount of work put in its between Taylor and Brad if we go by radio success its easily Blake with the other 4 all pretty close together. I don't see how Taylor couldn't win based on all that but her main competition will be between Chesney and Aldean. If Taylor is to lose I hope its to Blake, Chesney, or Brad because those 3 are really talented as well

But i thought is was based on internet voting? So non of the above really matters.

I heard its based on that but also a group of the members of the ACM's like we get half the vote and they get the other half I don't know the exact proportion but I'm sure they factor in all that stuff too! I know for new artist they get a split vote between fans and members so I assume the same for EOTY
So non of the above really matters.
