Taylor Swift leads the nominations for the American Country Awards 2013 this year ahead of the awards show in December.

The 'Red' singer scored a total of eight nominations for the prestigious country music awards show fresh from taking her tour across North America for much of the past year.

Taylor won nominations in prestigious categories like Artist Of The Year, Artist Of The Year: Female and Touring Artist Of The Year against some of the most popular country artists in the US.

The 'I Knew You Were Trouble' singer also won accolades for her song 'Begin Again', which is up for Single Of The Year: Female, Music Video Of The Year and Music Video Of The Year (Female).

Taylor's remaining nominations came from her collaboration with Tim McGraw and Keith Urban on 'Highway Don't Care'.

This past week Taylor has been spotted out several times enjoying heavy gym sessions fresh from the end of her latest tour.

The US star also returned from South Africa last week after filming her acting role in the upcoming fantasy epic.
