NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The fans have given Taylor Swift another trophy.
The pop sensation won the fan-voted video of the year award at the CMT Music Awards for “Mine” on Wednesday night. Swift also won the fan-voted Academy of Country Music artist of the year award earlier this year. Swift couldn’t make it to Bridgestone Arena to accept the belt buckle given to winners. But cameras cut to her tour stop in Wisconsin for a live acceptance speech.
