Wynonna Judd has hit out at Country Music Association officials for naming Taylor Swift Entertainer of the Year, saying it's "too much too soon" for the teenage songbird.
Swift who is 19, made history last night at the CMA Awards after becoming the youngest person ever to win the honor. Swift stole the show by taking home an award in every category she was nominated in, including Female Vocalist of the Year, Album of the Year and Music Video of the Year.
But Judd, 45, told USA Today:
"You want my honest comment? It's too much too soon. Time is God's way of keeping everything from happening at once. It's just too much of a good thing too soon. My thing is, being a home-school mom, I want kids to earn it, and I think some time... 'cause mom and I rode in a car for the first year of our career to visit radio stations. There was a making of the star, there was a rising up, and the fans went with us. Now it's over coffee breaks, the success, almost. You have to play catch up... It's like the girl who wins an Oscar and she's under 20. What do you do from here?"
Taylor Swiftwas named entertainer of the year and picked up three other awards earlier tonight at the 43rd annual Country Music Awards in Nashville.
The youngest performer ever to win the top CMA trophy, a tearful Taylor, 19, told the audience:
"I will never forget this moment because in this moment everything that I have ever wanted has just happened to me."
Swift also gave kudos to her band members, giving them credit for their hard work and dedication, and she thanked her fans for their support:
"I would like to call up the musicians who stand on that stage every single show with me...this is my band, y'all. They stayed with me every single night this year. And the fans who come to the shows with your shirts that you made yourselves and the looks on your faces; that's why I do this. Thank you for this moment. Thank you! "
Swift was also named female vocalist of the year, while her Fearless CD took home album of the year, and Love Story won the award for music video of the year.
The CMA show's co-host Brad Paisley nabbed male vocalist of the year, Jamey Johnson's In Color earned the award for song of the year and one time Hootie and the Blowfish frontman Darius Rucker went home happy earning the new artist of the year award.
Lady Antebellum was named vocal group of the year, while their song I Run to You won the CMA gong for single of the year.
The award for vocal duo of the year went to Sugarland.

Taylor Swift is taking her relationship with rumored boyfriend Taylor Lautner to the next level - by introducing the Twilight hunk to her mom over dinner.
The two Taylors have recently managed to fuel the rumor mill thay they're a twosome after they were spied together on Sunday at the Los Angeles Kings/Columbus Blue Jackets hockey game at the Staples Center.
The pair, who both star in upcoming movie. Valentine's Day (click here for photos of Swift and Lautner smooching on set), have insisted they are "just friends," but Swift planned a meeting between Lautner and her mother, Andrea.
The three were seen having dinner at Bistro Garden in Studio City, California earlier this week, where spies report that Swift's mom seems to be rather taken with her daughter's rumored boyfriend.
A waiter told RadarOnline:
"The three of them sat together in the main dining room. He seemed a little nervous at first but the young lady kept smiling at him and soon he appeared to relax. They (Swift and Lautner) smiled a lot and kept looking at each other, but they weren't holding hands. They definitely looked like a couple in love though."
