Taylor Swift will be battling the boys at the 2011 Country Music Association Awards as she’ll be running against Jason Aldean, Brad Paisley and “The Voice” judge Blake Shelton.

Those four elites each received four nominations  and will face off against one another, and Keith Urban, in the night’s big category for Entertainer of the Year.

Miranda Lambert’s husband, Blake Shelton, will defend his male vocalist of the year award this year against Paisley, Urban, Aldean and Kenny Chesney, who had three nominations.

While Urban didn’t make the Album of the Year cut, the other four did with Shelton getting props for All About Tonight, Aldean for My Kinda Party,Swift for Speak Now, Paisley for This Is Country Music, as well as the Zac Brown Band for You Get What You Give. Swift is the only woman up for Entertainer of the year, as well as Album of the Year.

Swift has some stiff competition in the Female Vocalist category, where Carrie Underwood, Sara Evans, Miranda Lambert and Martina McBride are also nominated. Swift’s “Mean” is also up for Song of the Year and Music Video of the Year.

The show is set to take place on Wednesday, November 9 at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville and air live at 8 p.m. ET on ABC.
