With Carrie Underwood not nominated this year for Entertainer of the
Year at the '46th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards' (Sun., 8PM ET
on CBS), her back-to-back winning streak was coming to an end. So the
big question of the night was who would take home the prize. Especially
as all five nominees had never taken home the honor before.
But that wasn't the only surprise, as there were several great
performances, including a medley duet by former 'American Idol' winner
Underwood and fresh-faced 'Idol' judge Steven Tyler.
He first joined her on-stage for her hit 'Undo It,' but soon they broke
into Aerosmith's signature song 'Walk This Way,' where Underwood
reminded us of that great rock edge her voice has.
Ryan Seacrest said, "This has been a great night for American music." It
didn't get much more American than the unique artist mash-ups that
performed throughout the night. Rihanna and Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles
took to the stage, as well as James Taylor and Zac Brown Band, and three
members of Alabama joined Brad Paisley on his song 'Alabama.'
Paisley took home his fifth straight Male Vocalist award while Miranda
Lambert doubled up Female Vocalist, as well as taking home Song of the
Year on her way to four total wins. But Lambert did not take home the
fan-voted Entertainer of the Year, despite being the night's
most-awarded singer.
Despite all the accolades and love she's gotten since 2006, for the
first time in her career, it was Taylor Swift who got the award. Her
mouth dropped when she heard her name called, and that stunned
expression carried with her to the stage.
"The fact that this is from the fans makes it so beautiful," she said.
"Thank you so much to the fans. You are the best thing that has ever
happened to me. Ever."
