This is Taylor Swift‘s world and we’re all just living in it. Tonight at the 43rd Annual CMA Awards, Taylor took home awards for Video of the Year, Female Vocalist of the Year, Album of the Year AND Entertainer of the Year.

“Tonight I’m just gonna dance around and freak out,” she said, “because I never imagined that the unattainable thing I always held in my imagination would happen to me at 19. I couldn’t be more grateful but I love a challenge, and right now the challenge is to find that next challenge.”

When it comes to who’s going to win a CMA Award, well, that’s in the hands of the CMA members that cast their votes. Album sales, radio hits, successful tours, media presence — all of those factors and more contribute to walking up to the podium to accept a trophy.
