It was a huge night in Nashville - just a few weeks after devastating rains flooded the city, musicians and fans came together to celebrate country music at the CMT Music Awards.
Some of your fave country stars came out as huge winners, as Carrie Underwood won the award, or "Buckle," for Video of the Year ("Cowboy Casanova"), Miranda Lambert snagged the Female Video of the Year award ("White Liar"), and Keith Urban nabbed the Male Video of the Year Award ("'Til Summer Comes Around").
Carrie winning the top prize was no surprise, but her smooch with finacé Mike Fisher was! It marked the first time the usually shy Carrie showed major PDA with her man of two years. "It's great having him there!" Carrie said after the show. "No matter what happens, I go home a winner. I have the biggest prize, the guy sitting next to me. Win or lose, he is proud of me. Of course, it's nice to share the good times too!"
