‘Twas a day of teaching and emails and a good songwriter hang, and there was not chance to make a bar graph. They can’t all be bar graphs, anyway. I found out through the social medias that Taylor Swift, after sorta disappearing for a year, won the CMA Song of the Year award for writing “Better Man,” recorded by Little Big Town. In the nominee list, this was the only song written by one person It’s kinda cool that on the eve of her pop album release, she wins a CMA award. Go Taylor, dominate like you do.

I got to hear this song performed live by Taylor all acoustic style in February in Houston, hence the awkwardly angled photo.
