Academy Of Country Music Awards: Miranda Lambert Wins Big [Slideshow]

Miranda Lambert won her fourth straight female vocalist award and three trophies for “Over You” – for single record of the year, and two for song of the year at the Academy of Country Music Awards last night. Mirando co-wrote "Over You" with her husband Blake Shelton. The song, which is about Shelton’s late brother, also took home the song of the year award at the Country Music Association Awards in November.

"As a songwriter, having your song and your lyrics recognized by your peers is pretty much as good as it gets," Lambert said. "And I'm so thankful for being in this genre of country music, every single time someone's nominated, I just cheer, because I love everybody to death. So thank you for accepting me as a song writer, not just as a singer, because that means the world to me."

The album of the year award went to Eric Church. He ended up tied with Jason Aldean, Little Big Town and Florida Georgia Line with two awards on the night. Church also took the stage to perform an acoustic version of his powerful song “Like Jesus Does.”

Aldean, who received an award with Church and Luke Bryan for their collaboration on “The Only Way I Know,” took home the male vocalist of the year honor. It was Bryan, however, who won the entertainer of the year award – the first male performer to do so since Kenny Chesney in 2007.

Taylor Swift, who had been nominated for four awards, went home empty handed. She did, however, take the stage to perform with Keith Urban and Tim McGraw in a rendition of “Highway Don’t Care.”

The standout performance of the night was when Garth Brooks and George Strait performed together to pay tribute to the late Dick Clark, who had served as the show's executive producer since 1979. After Brooks' “The Dance,” Strait joined him for an emotional take on “The Cowboy Rides Away.”
