Video Style Steal: Carrie Underwood's Boots Walk All Over ...
Okay, I have to admit -- I used to hate country music. From the slow twangy accents to the depressingly lame lyrics about dead dogs and barbecue stains and broken hearts, I just could never get into it... until recently! With the invasion of young powerhouse vocalists like Lady Antebellum and Carrie Underwood ("Last Name" -- finally a country song I can relate to! Just kidding...) and down-to-earth lyrics from the likes of Taylor Swift and Sugarland, today's country seems to have adopted a hipper vibe, a more rock-ish sound, and an overall edgier quality that gives the genre a more modern infectious energy and mass worldwide appeal! And to celebrate such musical innovation, the Academy of Country Music Awards honored music mavens young and old in Las Vegas this past Sunday, and if the genre's leading ladies weren't already enviable enough in their awards-sweeping talent and golden-haired good looks, their glamorous red carpet gowns almost stole the show out of their own hands! Carrie Underwood, the night's biggest winner, toned down her usual sparkle with a fairytale-esque pastel ensemble, while Taylor Swift donned a mature one-shoulder red gown by Angel Sanchez that matched both the carpet and the backdrop, yet had her standing out just the same! Vote below on which of country's biggest stars made the best red carpet appearance! Photo Credit: PR Photos
