What the CMT Awards Looked Like 10 Years Ago

The 2019 CMT Awards are near, with country’s biggest stars set to descend upon Nashville, Tenn., on June 5 for the show. As fans eagerly await this year’s CMT Awards, FN looks back at what celebrities wore on the red carpet a decade ago.

While Taylor Swift’s music sits squarely in the pop category these years, the “White Horse” singer was a rising country star in 2009. The then-19-year-old dazzled on the red carpet in a sparkly Collette Dinnigan minidress and strappy Prada heels. She picked up four awards at the show, winning Entertainer of the Year, Female of the Year, Album of the Year (“Fearless”) and Music Video of the Year (“Love Story”). Swift has a chance to add to her CMT total this year, as she’s nominated for two awards: Collaborative Video (“Babe”) and Duo Video (“Babe).
