I was so excited Miranda Lambert won big last night at the CMA Awards. She won four awards including Female Vocalist of the Year. I’m pretty sure it was all because of her amazing song, “The House That Built Me.” If you have not heard the song yet, you MUST click here.

Lady Antebellum won Single of the Year for their massive crossover hit, “Need You Now.” Gwyneth Paltrow performed the title song from her new movie, Country Strong. I thought she did a good job. But she is promoting her new movie not entering the world of country music. Her performance was so hyped in all the CMA promos, it seems a little unfair to all the uber talented ladies of country who were there because they truly are successful country music singers. Just sayin’.
Taylor Swift didn’t win any awards last night but she had an amazing live performance of “Back to December” – the song supposedly about her former boyfriend Taylor Lautner. She looked beautiful (What a dress! And awesome red lipstick!) and she played piano while fake snow fell around her. She did a great job and unexpectedly ended the performance by mouthing “What??” while the curtain closed. I tweeted about it last night and now Taylor’s rep has told Entertainment Weekly that she was just excited about the standing ovation.
Here’s a clip of Taylor’s performance last night.
