George Strait, Keith Urban and Miranda Lambert were among the country music artists who took home top honors at Sunday’s ACM Awards, which was broadcast live from Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Garden Arena on CBS.
Strait was named Entertainer of they Year, an award that the fans voted on up until the trophy was awarded. The 61-year-old also performed “I Got a Car,” which earned him a standing ovation from the crowd.
Urban won three awards: Vocal Event of the Year as performer and producer along with Lambert for “We Were Us.” Urban earned his third trophy for Video of the Year with Tim McGraw and Taylor Swift for “Highway Don’t Care.”
