No, it’s not her Lorax costar Zac Efron…

Country music sweetheart Taylor Swift has asked Kevin McGuire, an 18-year-old high school football player from New Jersey suffering from leukemia, to be her date to the 2012 Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas.

According to reports, McGuire had originally asked Swift to be his date to senior prom, but when Tay-Tay couldn’t attend, she decided to make it up to him by posting this little love note on her official Facebook page.

Kevin, I’m so sorry but I won’t be able to make it to your prom. But I was wondering, the ACM Awards are coming up.. Would you be my date? Love, Taylor.

Not a bad consolation prize, eh Kev?

She’s done it again, ladies and gentlemen!

At the American Music Awards last night, country artist Taylor Swift went home with several more AMA statuettes for her collection, but this time she took home the pièce de résistance – the AMA for Artist of the Year!

The 21-year-old singer was also crowned Favorite Female Country Artist and Favorite Country Album, as only teenaged girls were allowed to cast ballots in this years voting for the AMAs.  ;)

From the podium, Swift thanked her fans, family and “the little sister she never had”, Selena Gomez.  Insert “awww” or “uuugh”

Now, I get that Taylor’s a country icon and all, but with the breakout year that Adele has had (not to mention her vastly superior vocal talent), wouldn’t she be the more appropriate choice for Artist of the Year?

Did the AMAs get it right?  Who do you think should’ve taken home the title of Artist of the Year?

Singer/songwriter Taylor Swift received the big award for Entertainer Of The Year at the 2011 Academy of Country Music Awards held at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Sunday (April 3)- more pictures below.

The 21 year-old wore a stunning Elie Sabb Haute Couture gown with a long tail. The only thing I can say is that color is definitely not flattering for Taylor’s complexion. But other than that, the dress is beautiful.

Ryan Seacrest had the honor of closing the awards ceremony by presenting the Entertainer of The Year award to our girl Taylor, who emotionally thanked the fans all over the world for her incredible success.

Taylor said, “This is the first time I’ve ever won this, and I’m losing my mind. The fact that this was from the fans is so beautiful. We just got back from a tour of Asia, so thanks for not forgetting about me. The fact that this is from the fans… you are the best thing that has ever happened to me.”

Taylor is not a little girl anymore. The 21 year-old, who has incredible legs, looked super glamorous in golden high heels and her makeup was absolutely flawless (not too much and perfect shape of red lipstick).

At the party, Taylor ran into her BFFs Selena Gomez, who proudly displayed her new boyfriend, super star Justin Bieber (photos here), and Emma Stone. All three lovely ladies looked beautiful in completely different styles.
