Friday, September 11, 2026 - Taylor Swift has earned her first Country Music Association Awards nomination in four years, marking another major moment in her continuing connection with country music.
Swift has been nominated for Single of the Year for “I Knew It, I Knew You,” a song she wrote for Toy Story 5. The nomination comes as Swift prepares to return to the CMA Awards for the first time since 2016.
The nomination adds fresh momentum to Swift’s country credentials after the song recently reached No. 1 on U.S. country radio. It is her first country-radio chart-topper in 13 years and her 13th No. 1 as a solo artist.
Swift has already collected 12 CMA Awards throughout her career, including Entertainer of the Year wins in 2009 and 2011, putting a potential 13th trophy within reach.
Swift has confirmed that she will attend the 2026 ceremony, which will take place November 18 at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena. Her return is already generating significant attention, particularly after years away from the event.
With a new CMA nomination, a country-radio No. 1 and a high-profile appearance ahead, Swift is once again putting her country roots firmly back in the spotlight.
