Wynonna Judd Schools Kanye West on Swifty Apologies

For all the love Taylor Swift receives from the music industry and elsewhere, she has a rather vocal handful of detractors.

Kanye West's giant diss was the talk of the CMA Awards Wednesday night, but he wasn't the only person who questioned the starlet's success.

"It's too much too soon," Wynonna Judd told USA Today of Swift's numerous nominations, especially the one for Entertainer of the Year (which she won, along with three other gongs). "Time is God’s way of keeping everything from happening at once. It’s just too much of a good thing too soon."

But comparisons of the hip-hopper and country star's comments end there.

Judd didn't blog an all-caps opus of a disingenuous apology, delete it and try again. And we're guessing she won't be appearing on a talk show crying and announcing a break from the spotlight.

Instead, she wrote a short and sweet note on her website.

"I understand that my comment about Taylor Swift's Entertainer of the Year nomination came across as a negative statement," she says. "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. 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."

Yeezy, are you paying attention?
