Miranda Lambert, Kacey Musgraves & George Strait Take Home ACM Awards [Pictures]
The American Country Music Awards were held on Sunday in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Garden Arena. Miranda Lambert and Keith Urban won the most awards, two and three respectively, whilst nominees and fan favourites Taylor Swift, Luke Bryan and Blake Shelton lost out on numerous awards each.
Lambert was struggling to hold her awards at the American Country Music Awards on Sunday (6th April). The singer won three of the large trophies and posed somewhat awkwardly but happily in the press room. The 30-year-old took home the most awards after she won Female Vocalist of the Year, Single Record of the Year and Vocal Event of the Year alongside Keith Urban. Urban was a secretive runner up with two awards as, not only did he collaborate with Lambert for Vocal event, but he also featured (alongside Taylor Swift) in Tim Mcgraw's 'Highway Don't Care' which won Video of the Year.
Justin Moore, who won the award for New Artist of the Year, posed with his pregnant wife and his award. Moore's wife Kate glowed with pride as she held her husband's award. It's certainly going to be a busy year for the couple who are expecting their third child this summer.

Taylor Swift was notably absent from the award list, with the exception of her appearing in her mentor McGraw's video. She was nominated for two other awards including Entertainer and Female Vocalist but lost out on both respectively to GEORGE STRAIT and Lambert. Luke Bryan and Blake Shelton also lost out on awards. Shelton was nominated for Entertainer, Male Vocalist, Song, Album and Vocal Event of the Year yet failed to win even one award. Meanwhile Bryan was nominated for Entertainer, Male Vocalist and Album yet too went home disappointed.
