Taylor Swift got the Pinnacle Award from the Country Music Association, not the Academy of Country Music. It was given at the 2013 CMA Awards and recognized her for taking country music to a worldwide audience.

Quick Scoop

  • Award name: Pinnacle Award.

Small correction

If your post says “Academy of Country Music,” that part is off. The Pinnacle Award is a CMA honor, and Taylor Swift received it at the 47th Annual CMA Awards in 2013.
