Taylor Swift Up For Artist Of The Year In "Rolling Stone" Poll

Taylor Swift could earn yet another "Artist of the Year" honor. The singer is among the 15 stars in the running in Rollingstone.com's 2009 Readers Poll. Swift is the only country star on the ballot, which features a mix of rock, pop, and hip-hop stars including the Bruce Springsteen, U2, Jay-Z, Black Eyed Peas, and Lady GaGa. The poll is also seeking input for Album of the Year and Song of the Year. No nominees are offered in these categories; voters are asked to write in their selections. Ballots, available online at Rollingstone.com, can be submitted until December 8th.

Swift just captured Artist of the Year honors at the 2009 American Music Awards last Sunday. In addition, she was named Entertainer of the Year at the 43rd annual Country Music Association Awards, which took place in Nashville earlier this month.
