It was a night for married couples at the Academy of Country Music Awards as husband and wife Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert won several honours. The show spanned the years of country music with 22-year-old sensation Taylor Swift winning the top honour, entertainer of the year. “I am so amazed that the fans keep doing such incredibly nice things for me. I just want to hug them all the time and thank them for everything – it really blows my mind,” Swift told reporters. But Shelton and Lambert, who married last year, were the big winners, taking home three trophies between them including best male vocalist for him and two trophies for her, female vocalist and album of the year for ‘Four the Record.’ Jason Aldean and Kelly Clarkson also walked off with two awards, single record of the year and vocal event of the year for their duet ‘Don’t You Wanna Stay.’ Lady Antebellum, fresh off their smash hit ‘Need You Now,’ was named best vocal group – the fourth time it had won the award in recent years. The Eli Young Band took song of the year honours with ‘Crazy Girl.’ Former ‘American Idol’ contestant Scotty McCreery, 19, who recorded the hit single ‘Water Tower Town,’ was named best new artist. Among honors announced backstage, video of the year went to Toby Keith for his popular party song, ‘Red Solo Cup.’ The show featured numerous performances. Carrie Underwood started off the programme with her rocking song ‘Good Girl.’ Not to be outdone, Keith Urban put on an electric guitar show with ‘For You,’ and in keeping with tradition, the Academy of Country Music invited stars from other musical genres to appear, including U2 singer Bono and the members of KISS.
