Miranda Lambert and Little Big Town are walking home winners at the ACM Awards tonight (April 3), even before the awards show began its broadcast. Minutes before the 51st Academy of Country Music Awards went live on CBS, the Vocal Event of the Year award was announced.

Lambert and Little Big Town will take home the trophy for their collaboration on “Smokin’ and Drinkin'” which is the fourth single off Lambert’s 2014 release Platinum. The song was written by Natalie Hemby, Shane McAnally and Luke Laird.

In addition to Vocal Event of the Year, Lambert is nominated for Female Vocalist of the Year as well as the coveted top prize, Entertainer of the Year at tonight’s ACM Awards. Meanwhile, Little Big Town are nominated for Vocal Group of the Year as well as Single Record of the Year and Song of the Year for “Girl Crush,” which was written by Lori McKenna, Hillary Lindsey and Liz Rose.

If Lambert is awarded Female Vocalist of the Year at tonight’s show, it will mark the seventh consecutive win she has had in the category.

The 51st annual ACM Awards air live tonight (April 3) on CBS.
