Lambert arrives on the red carpet.
Miranda Lambert continued her awards show winning streak last night (4/3), racking up four trophies at the Academy of Country Music Awards and becoming the evening’s most honored artist. She took home her second consecutive Female Vocalist of the Year award, as well as prizes for Single Record, Song, and Video.
Taylor Swift’s ever loyal fans voted her Entertainer of the Year, the night’s top honor. It was her first time taking home the ACM Entertainer award. She is the eighth and youngest female to receive the honor in its 40-year history. According to the Academy, nearly 600,000 fans cast votes in the category, a record breaking number for the prize which has been selected by fans instead of ACM members since 2008.
Lady Antebellum won Vocal Group for the second time in a row, as well as two honors for Album of the Year (both as artists and producers).
Brad Paisley scored his fifth consecutive win as Male Vocalist of the Year.
The ACM’s other fan-voted category, New Artist of the Year, also drew record setting votes. Nearly 155,000 consumers logged on via web or text, with the award going to The Band Perry.
Complete list below, winners in red.
