Miranda Lambert was the big winner at last night’s Academy of Country Music Awards by taking home four awards: Top Female Vocalist,  and for ‘The House That Built Me‘ she won Single Record of the Year, Song of The Year and Video of the Year.

She may not have been smiling too much on the red carpet, but Taylor Swift had lots to smile about at last night’s Academy of Country Music Awards: she took home Entertainer of the Year.

How fitting that one of American Idol’s greatest success stories, Carrie Underwood, teamed up with new American Idol judge (and rock legend) Steven Tyler for a very hip version of Walk This Way at last night’s Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas.

Carrie looks to be really enjoying rocking out with Steven. And to a standing audience no less. Enjoy the video!

Taylor Swift’s gown at last night’s 2011 Academy of Country Music Awards was gorgeous. She looked like a princess, but a not-so-happy princess in the photos. She really isn’t smiling so much.

Julianne Hough also looked gorgeous but went for the va-va-voom sexy look with a backless coral-coloured dress.

The ladies of the red carpet at the 2011 Academy of Country Music Awards, for the most part, were gorgeous. The men? Well, some of them had very interesting outfits like Ira Dean, but some of them like Keith Urban managed to look very hot. But then again, Keith Urban always does look hot. He could show up on the red carpet in sweat pants with the elasticized bottoms and he would still probably look hot. Wife, Nicole Kidman was by his side and as per usual, these two looked very smitten and happy to be together. I love it!

Lots of pictures from the red carpet after the break.
