Taylor Swift is celebrating a new country music milestone after earning a nomination at the 2026 CMA Awards. In a social media post reacting to the announcement, Swift shared her excitement over I Knew It, I Knew You being nominated for Single of the Year.
The nomination was confirmed as part of this year’s CMA Awards lineup and marks Swift’s first recognition from the organization in four years. The song, featured on the Toy Story 5 soundtrack, has also brought her back into the country music conversation after reaching No. 1 on the country radio chart.
Swift’s connection to country music goes back to the beginning of her career, before she expanded into pop and other styles. Her latest nomination reflects that history while recognizing one of her newest releases.
She also indicated that she plans to attend the 2026 CMA Awards, scheduled for November 18. The ceremony will bring together artists from across country music to celebrate the year’s major releases and performances.
