Carrie Underwood Is The Female Vocalist of the Year

The Country Music Association Awards was one amazing night for American Idol’s own Carrie Underwood.

For the 42nd Annual CMA Awards, Carrie Underwood won the award for Female Vocalist of the Year. Despite that, she seemed more excited about taking the stage with Paisley for the hosting responsibility.

Upon receiving the award for Female Vocalist of the Year (her co-host snagged the Male half of the accolade), Carrie Underwood beamed with pride. “Thank you, country music. I came here through an unconventional way and you guys didn’t have to accept me at all. But everybody in town, everybody in Nashville, everybody in the country music community has been so great.”

There’s no doubt that Carrie Underwood deserved the honor. Her album, Some Hearts, is the biggest-selling American Idol album to date. It managed to gain 7 million records in sales, all across the United States. Three singles off the album yielded top spots on country music charts, ranking high on Billboard and even in Canadian hit lists.

The Country Music Association promised a major surprise in the lead up to Wednesday’s CMA Awards – and it came at the tail-end of the three-hour telecast: Shania Twain presented the final honor of the night – entertainer of the year – to Kenny Chesney.

“You look really good tonight!” he said as he took the trophy in his hands.

Shania Twain, wearing a low-cut Missoni gown, had walked out to a standing ovation. “It’s good to see all of you too,” she told the crowd Wednesday at Nashville’s Sommet Center. “I hope to be seeing a lot more of you.”

Shania Twain, 43, won the coveted entertainer of the year award in 1999, and was last at the CMA awards in 2004
