Seems there's a little Bitter Betty in the air following Taylor Swift's CMA victory. Wynonna Judd is doing the slow clap to Swift's win. Judd was quoted saying "You want my honest comment? It's too much too soon." She goes on to berate the way success is a corporate decision now, instead of the result of hard work, putting in the time, and relentless energy. "There was a making of a star, there was a rising up and the fans went with us...now it's over coffee breaks."

Gretchen Wilson is country. She kicks butt!
Also, check out Rex Hobart and the Misery Boys...old school stuff.
What Wynonna MEANT to say was “Hey you, baby, get in my belly...I want my baby back baby back baby back...”
Hard drinking and drugs does that to some....She had been arrested several times DUI. Heavy makeup never looks good when your aging.
Yep. I'm cynical when it comes to these awards shows. The CMA costs a lot of money to produce and air. The advertisers want viewers. The viewers want to see Taylor Swift and most importantly, they want to see Taylor Swift win.
Bingo. That was my first thought upon learning she won this award.
