Congrats to Miranda Lambert, who walked away with two awards at the 2016 ACM Awards in Las Vegas. Before the show, Miranda found out that she and Little Big Town won Vocal Event of the Year for the song “Smokin’ and Drinkin'” off her Platinum album. Later, Miranda accepted her 7th straight ACM Female Vocalist of the Year award (which ties her in the category for all-time wins with Reba McEntire).
Miranda also got the ACM crowd rocking when she took the stage to belt out her take on the classic ZZ Top song “Tush”–with a little help from ZZ Top’s own Billy Gibbons, and Keith Urban.
During her acceptance speech for ACM Female Vocalist of the Year, Miranda Lambert gives a special shout out to fellow nominee Carrie Underwood, and all the other women of country at the ACM Awards.
“Woo, thank you so much. Awesome. I love you all. I just want to say, Carrie you just killed it. I got to sing with Carrie on Friday, and she is literately the perfect singer and such an inspiration to me, and I love you girl. And I love seeing tonight a bunch of new country girls up here shining, singing their great songs that they wrote themselves, I’m really excited for women in country music, and I’m glad to be here as one of them. I love you all fans. Thank you so much. Woo!”
