It's a big week for Country Music diva Taylor Swift, who has achieved two milestones in her career.  First, the 19-year-old's sales jumped over the 10 million mark, a feat in and of itself. To top that off, Swift was nominated for an Entertainer of the Year Award from the Country Music Association. She is the first solo female to be nominated in that category in the past nine years.

But can Swift keep it going? According to Tennesean.com, Swift has said of her success, "Pressure is one of my favorite things in the world. When I heard before my second album, 'Is she going to experience a sophomore slump?' it made me more motivated to make sure that didn't happen. 'Is she going to keep this fan base?' 'Is this thing going to run off the tracks?' Those things motivate me. My gut instinct has worked so far, and I'm not going to mess with that."

In the meantime, Swift is busy selling-out shows in record time, and getting ready for the re-release of her sophomore album, Fearless, which spent 43 weeks on the Billboard 200. Set to release Oct. 27, Fearless Platinum Edition will feature six new tracks and other bonus materials.
