The 21-year-old singer won Entertainer of the Year at the 2011 Academy of Country Music Awards, held Sunday evening in Las Vegas.

The big winner of the night, though, was Miranda Lambert, whose Grammy-winning song ÔThe House That Built MeÕ took home awards for Single Record of the Year, Song of the Year and Video of the Year. Lambert also won Top Female Vocalist of the Year for the second year in a row.

Fresh off their success at the Grammys in February, Lady Antebellum racked up the award for Album of the Year, as well as Top Vocal Group of the Year.
