In most cases, Taylor Swift leaves a little bit of suspense in the air as to whether she’ll attend one of the many awards shows where she is nominated. Not this time. Within hours of the announcement that she had been nominated for a CMA Award for single of the year for “I Knew It, I Knew You,” Swift went on social media to declare that she would be there this November, with bells on. Or spurs, perhaps.

“LOOKS LIKE I HAVEN’T YEE’D MY LAST HAW,” she wrote in all-caps in a message posted to her Instagram Stories. “THANK YOU CMA!!!! See you there Nov. 18.” The message was followed by an emoticon of a smiling face wearing a cowboy hat, in keeping with the Jessie-the-cowgirl theme of the hit song that closes the “Toy Story 5” movie.
