If you haven't figured it out by now, I'm not quite sure what your doing on my blog. Any way on with the nights events.
Taylor arrived at the 2015 50th ACM Awards in Dallas Texas not long before the show started after slipping in the back entrance and didn't walk the Red Carpet. That didn't stop her from posing for the camera at every opportunity. Taylor had also just flown down to Dallas from New York. She brought her dad Scott as her date for the night. For the first time Taylor was in AT&T Stadium as a guest and not a performer and it must have been a little different for her to be sitting in the audience instead of the one performing.
While Taylor might not officially be a country artist yet, her roots are and will remain in Nashville, the heart of country music. The ACM's still put Taylor in the front row of the 'star' section and awarded her one of the biggest if not the biggest award in the ACM awards. The Milestone Award. Not only did Taylor receive this award for being the youngest Entertainer of the Year but also for the popularity she brought into the country music world over the past 9 years.
Taylor produced the usual at awards show with her dancing and just having a great time but when it came to the time for her to receive The Milestone award, it wasn't her all eyes were on. Taylor's mum Andrea who has been her biggest supporter throughout her career was about to come out onto the stage to present Taylor with The Milestone award. This was Andrea's first public appearance since Taylor made it public that her mum was diagnosed with Cancer approx 10 days ago. Andrea was looking well and took to the stage to deliver a very moving speech about her daughter before Taylor came up to also deliver a very moving speech and receive her award. The presentation caught the attention of the whole stadium and was a tearjerker and a very poignant moment for everyone.
"And to the fans, I know you love her as I love her, and for that, I thank you eternally." Andrea spoke of her daughters rise to fame in the country music industry, growing up on the family farm and thanked her daughters fans for the support they have shown to Taylor and the family over the years.
For someone like me who doesn't cry at alot, this is one thing that makes me very emotional.

Taylor, congrats on your Milestone award tonight. You truly deserved it and never forget that country music will never forget you and you will always have a home in country music.
All the best for the rest of the 1989 world tour rehearsals and I won't get to see you in Dallas but I might get to visit the stadium in September and I will be thinking of you the whole time.
See you in Sydney, Nov 28th.
