Artist of year

So 2011 was a big year for some of country's best and brightest.  Some guys and gals had awards, huge album sales and massive concert tours, but in the end, it all pales in comparison to what YOU, the fans, think.  Since we love country music and democracy, we thought we'd mix them up and give you a chance to tell us who you thought was the reigning artist of 2011!

Taylor Swift won her 10th American Music Award in the form of the 2011 AMA for Artist of the Year, beating out some stiff competition from the likes of Adele, Lady Gaga, Lil Wayne and Katy Perry. Weezy was surrounded by a lot of beautiful and talented women in this category, wasn’t he? Nevertheless, Swift expressed a mixture of shock, awe and joy when her name was announced. They like you, Taylor.
