Episode 127 - Luke Bryan, Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert, George Strait, or Taylor Swift… who will be the ACM Entertainer of the Year? In Episode 127 of Taylor Talk: The Taylor Swift Podcast, we discuss the probability that Taylor Swift will prevail against the nominees.

Highlights from Episode 127 of Taylor Talk: The Taylor Swift Podcast

Main Discussion – ACM Predictions: Who Will Be Entertainer of the Year?:

- We rank Taylor’s chances of winning EOTY against Blake Shelton, Luke Bryan, Miranda Lambert, and George Strait based on the points brought up at Taste of County.

- Blake Shelton sure entertains on The Voice, but we consider those viewers passive, and thus less likely to vote.

- Could Luke Bryan beat Taylor? Honestly, he might “crash her party.”

- Miranda might win Female Vocalist of the Year, but definitely not EOTY.

- George Strait: Entertainer of the Year or Entertainer of a Lifetime? Fun fact: He hasn’t won EOTY since Taylor Swift was born.
