Shortly after a flurry of negative buzz regarding the comments she made to a reporter from USA Today hit the Internet yesterday, the 45-year-old singer took to her Web site to clarify her position.

“I understand that my comment about Taylor Swift’s Entertainer of the Year nomination came across as a negative statement,” Wynonna wrote.

“My intent was not to take anything away from her talent and contributions to the country music industry … all of which are truly unprecedented for any artist of ANY age.

“Taylor is a beautiful, hard working young woman that deserves the success she has had and I support her as an artist and as a woman in the business.”

Bravo, Wynonna. Maybe she was just having a bad day.
