Academy of Country Music Awards Winners: Taylor Swift, Miranda Lambert & More
The 46th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards was officially ladies' night, with Miranda Lambert, Taylor Swift and others taking home the top honors.
Lady Antebellum – co-ed trio Hillary Scott, Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood – clocked in the most wins, but the evening's highest honor went to Swift.
The singer was crowned entertainer of the year.
"I'm just losing my mind," Swift told the audience after her big win.
"The fact that this is from the fans makes its so beautiful."
Lambert, meanwhile, snagged honors for favorite female vocalist, record of the year, video of the year and song of the year for "The House that Built Me."
Lady Antebellum won big, like they did at this year's Grammy Awards, for their mega-hit "Need You Now," scoring album of the year and top vocal group.
Hosts Reba McEntire and Blake Shelton, soon-to-be husband of Lambert, kicked off the ceremony with a few words of wisdom. For starters, don't mess with Swift.
"If you make her mad, she'll write a song about you," McEntire said.
The show included a performance by Rihanna and Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles, plus A-list presenters such as Gossip Girl's Chace Crawford, Celine Dion, and Water for Elephants co-stars Robert Pattinson and Reese Witherspoon.
What did you think? Did the voters make the right calls?
