Wynonna Judd does not want to be the next Kanye West.

The country singer has apologized on her website for her slamming Taylor Swift, who became the youngest artist ever to win the Country Music Association Awards' Entertainer of the Year trophy.

Check out the best dressed from Wednesday's CMA Awards!

"I understand that my comment . . . came across as a negative statement," Judd writes.

Before the awards, Judd told USA Today that the 19 year-old's nomination was "too much, too soon . . . Time is God's way of keeping everything from happening at once. It's just too much of a good thing soon . . . I want kids to earn it."

Remember the Kanye-Taylor moment? Look back on the unforgettable 2009 VMAs

But Judd clarified online Thursday: "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 an artist of ANY age."

She adds: "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."

The 45 year-old Judd became a young country star herself in the 1980s as half of the duo The Judds (her partner was mom Naomi).

    When people say "hard working", they are obviously insane! She has not done a days work in her life. She sings, the young girls (who have no clue about carrying a tune) like her, so she wins big awards! Come sit and do my job for a day, and I'll trade with you. I'll take the big paycheck too!!!She sucks, Wynonna stop apologizing because her itty,bitty feelings may

    What does God have to do with what comes out of your mouth Wynonna...your mouth is evidently as big as your ass.....now you have to go into damage control, because you made as big an ass as Kanye West did...whether said to Taylor Swift or to any other entertainer...bottom like us you and your mother look like total tramps, and evidently cannot tolerate someone else' s success...

    She can't sing, we all know that. Besides she's not a kid, she's 19. In other words , who the hell cares.

    Don't get me wrong I like Taylor Swift. She is so talented with her song writing and seems like a sweet girl, but the girl can't sing. Whenever I've seen her singing live she is so off key. Keith Urban should have taken Entertainer of the Year. I've seen him out shine Kenny and he has more talent in his little finger than all of them put together. Especially Taylor.

    It was not even about her. She is so post to be a thug right after thug story? The story of a girl white that goes into the hood and gets pimped out. If she gets upset over something that was not even her guess what thugs say and do alot worst to dumb blondes then saying time is a gift.

    wynonna is a jealouse old cow, she sucks from way back, Im not what you'd call a big Taylor Swift fan shes got some stuff I dont mind and a few songs I love, but weather shes my brand of beer makes no difference, she is very popular and a pretty good influence for kids, and if her concerts wernt slammin she wouldnt be elegible for the award let alone won it. for a 19 yearold female its aws

    What is the big deal with this little girl? People keep dissing her for a reason....maybe she truly sucks! I've seen dolphins with better talent. So she can sing (a little), what else is she good at? Oh yea wearing designer duds. Hmmm sounds like all the other hollywood, twigs!

    Well, Wynonna....no it is over for 'U'....you underrated the vast age difference who support this young woman...you are the one who is washed up.... I say, go back to having another drink, and box of chocolates....U are not even pleasant to watch as an entertainer......u have the appearance of a hooker, which overshadows what you have left of your voice....
