Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood at CMA Awards

It is country music’s biggest night featuring the top stars of the genre.

And leading ladies Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert, and Faith Hill did not disappoint as they attended the 51st CMA Awards in Nashville, Tennessee on Tuesday.

The ladies were the height of glamour as they rocked the star-packed red carpet. 

… 

Carrie looked absolutely incredible in a plunging navy blue gown with a flared skirt and cinched waist. 

The Before He Cheats chart-topper has returned to co-host the show alongside Brad Paisley, and Carrie was certain to steal the show in her extraordinarily gorgeous ensemble. 

Carrie, an American Idol alum, looked incredible with her blonde locks styled down and ample amounts of smoky eye shadow to add drama to her complexion. 

She was accompanied by her dashing husband, Mike Fisher.

And she glammed up the already showstopping look with some sparkling earrings and a pair of strappy black high heels.

The previous year she presented the Entertainer of the Year prize and may have even more incentive to show up to this one as she earned her first nod since 2014 as a songwriter for Little Big Town’s Better Man which is in contention for Song Of The Year.

The performances at the event are also highly-anticipated as One Direction member Niall Horan will leaping genres to perform with Maren Morris. Pink is another pop star who will join in the festivities. 

Perhaps the most exciting partnership will be between Reba McEntire and Kelsea Ballerini who are set to duet.
