The 27-year-old Lambert was the biggest winner of the night, picking up trophies such as female vocalist of the year as well the song, video and single of the year awards for “The House That Built Me”.

The new artist award went to Mississippi group, the Band Perry, who also picked up single of the year for If I Die Young. Nashville band, Lady Antebellum, won album of the year and Brad Paisley was named top male vocalist for the fifth year running.  Previous trophies for the prestigious Entertainer of the Year award include Johnny Cash, Dolly Parton and Garth Brooks.
