It Was A Miranda Lambert & Taylor Swift Kind Of Night!

This is a Daily Jewel (I'm feeling lazy) Mash Up!  The Press Release from the Academy of Country Music with some Fashion & Jewelry fun running throughout!  I'm not sure why - but most of the Jewelry reporters seem to forget this event.

Miranda Lambert was the big winner
last night in a white Lorena Sarbu Gown.
Personally I think it could have been more
supportive...if anyone knows who made her
bracelet...LOVE!

I LOVE the Country Music darlings - there was a day when lots of bling and big hair ruled the Country Red Carpet...those days are gone.  No more do the Arrivals resemble my High School Prom -  Country stars today have embraced the same designers that grace the Oscars...with that said...

Winners have been announced for the 46th ANNUAL ACADEMY OF COUNTRY MUSIC AWARDS, from MGM GRAND in Las Vegas.

Fans named Taylor Swift Entertainer of the Year, the evening’s biggest honor. This is the first year that Taylor Swift has been named Entertainer of the Year.
