Thankfully, there were no signs of Kanye West Sunday evening as Taylor Swift took the stage to accept the Entertainer of the Year award at the Country Music Awards. “I'm just losing my mind,” Swift told the audience after her big win. Meanwhile, Miranda Lambert took home honors for Top Female Vocalist, Record of the Year, Video of the Year, and Song of the Year, while Lady Antebellum, who cleaned up at this year’s Grammy Awards, won for Album of the Year and Top Vocal Group. Reba McEntire and Lambert’s fiancé, Blake Shelton, hosted the ceremony, which featured an unsuspecting performance by Rihanna and Sugarland’s frontwoman Jennifer Nettles and an appearance from Twilight star Robert Pattinson. “I like drinking a lot of moonshine,” Pattinson joked of his time filming Water for Elephants in Tennessee, while presenting with his co-star in the film, Reese Witherspoon.
