I believe you are correct. With that being said, the timeframe used in selecting who would win was also months ago. It was done before Taylor even started her own tour, she was an opening act for some of the others who were nominated for EOTY. I think that is part of why I find her winning a bit odd. She didn't even have her own tour. I think its strange that someone could win EOTY and not even have their own tour. With her being so new to touring, she was the opening act for the more experienced singers, and after seeing her in concert, I think she has a great deal to learn about performing live. Its just hard to imagine where she will go from here, when she has won the biggest of all prizes at the age of 19!
