43rd ACM Country Music Award Winners

ACM Country Music Awards Winners

Sugarland, Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift were the big winners at tonight’s 43rd annual Academy of Country Music (ACM) Country Music Awards.

The show was hosted by the always entertaining Reba McIntyre.

Brad Paisley and Underwood did a moving tribute to country great Eddie Arnold who passed away ten days ago.

Other stars to perform included Dolly Parton, Trace Adkins, Brooks & Dunn, Miranda Lambert, Montgomery Gentry, Rodney Atkins, and Sugarland.

Garth Brooks won a life time achievement award and his wife Trisha Yearwood made an appearance as well.

A very prepped out Keith Urban, in suit, vest and tie, was in attendance with his very pregnant wife Nicole Kidman.

Kenny Chesney took home the biggest trophy of the night, ‘Entertainer of the Year.’

    I CANNOT believe Sugarland won anything. That womans voice rivals nails on a chalkboard.

    She has a serious sinus or maybe just a whining problem.

    I had hoped they wouldn’t win a thing and would sink into the sunset.
