Wynonna Judd is reversing her position after speaking out against Taylor Swift's big win at Wednesday night's CMA Awards.
When Judd was asked on the red carpet what advice she could offer the 19-year-old entertainer of the year, she said, "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."
On Thursday, she explained the comment on her official website.
"My intent was not to take anything away from her talent and contributions to the country music industry, all of which are truly unprecedented for an artist of any age," she said. "Taylor is a beautiful, hard-working young woman that deserves the success she has had and I support her as an artist and as a woman in the business."
Swift was the youngest artist to win the CMA's award for entertainer of the year. She also won for top female vocalist, best album and best music video.
