Taylor Swift's 'Tim McGraw' Turns To Digital Gold

Nashville, TN. (Top40 Charts/ Big Machine Records) - Country sensation Taylor Swift continues to enjoy her hard-earned success. Her smash single, 'Tim McGraw' was recently certified gold digitally, a feat accomplished by only eight other country artists.

With an RIAA certified Gold album (selling more than 500,000 copies), a Top 5 single with 'Tim McGraw', her second single, 'Teardrops on My Guitar' climbing the charts, and back-to-back major tours with George Strait and Brad Paisley, Taylor has turned her dream into reality.

Taylor 's songwriting skills and her commercial appeal are being recognized by critics, peers, and fans alike. She recently received her first award – 'Breakthrough Video of the Year' at the fan-voted CMT awards.

She is also currently nominated for an Academy of Country Music Award for TOP NEW FEMALE VOCALIST. She will perform on the live telecast of the 42nd Annual Academy of Country Music Awards which will air on CBS on Tuesday, May 15th at 7 pm (CST).

With more than 14 Million hits on her official MySpace page, Taylor continues to be one of the top country artists on the site.

Having just wrapped a national tour with George Strait, Taylor is on the road for the rest of the summer as part of Brad Paisley's 'Bonfires & Amplifiers' tour.

Digital Gold certification is not something that comes easily to the country format. Only 10 other country singles have ever been certified Digital Gold. It speaks volumes to Taylor 's popularity that the other 10 certified singles were recorded by blockbuster artists Keith Urban, Rascal Flatts, Big & Rich, Tim McGraw, Carrie Underwood, Dixie Chicks and Trace Adkins.
