Furthermore, aside from the fact that Taylor Swift is a top-selling
artist, who has revolutionized teen country pop, she did not have
any competition in this category as her competitors Beyonce, Lady
GaGa, Pink, and Kelly Clarkson split the pop vote. Taylor had to
get 100 percent of the country vote, plus some of the pop vote as
well.
