Taylor Swift Accomplishments Recognized At Special Dinner Event
Taylor Swift is earning recognition as one of the biggest stars in country music. The 20-year-old singer-songwriter's numerous accomplishments were celebrated at an event in Nashville Wednesday night. Record executive Scott Borchetta, who signed Swift to his Big Machine Records label back in 2006, noted, quote, "The 18 months of our lives known as the 'Fearless' era have been history-making, euphoric and triumphant. The sales, the airplay, the accolades and the awards have all just been incredible. But most important to me is that my friend Taylor and her collective team of family, record label, management and her road family continue to raise the bar with work ethic, achievement and enjoyment. Dreams do come true."
Swift's extensive list of accomplishments include record sales of more than 13-million units, while fans have purchased over 25-million digital downloads of her music.

It's also the only disc ever to be named Album of the Year by the Country Music Association and the Academy of Country Music and capture the same honors at the multi-genre GRAMMY Awards and the American Music Awards.
