Miranda Lambert was the top winner at the 46th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards last night. The future Mrs. Blake Shelton took home four trophies including Single Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Video of the Year, and Female Vocalist of the Year. Backstage, Lambert revealed that she didn’t expect the night to go the way it did.
“I'm still excited from last year,” she said backstage after the show. “I just expected to come to the ACMs in 2011 and just chill and be happy to be there because last year was so awesome. I'm just so humbled, like I can't even express how blessed I feel. I'm so thankful to my peers and to the fans for everything.”
You may have noticed that Miranda didn’t walk the red carpet with her soon to be hubby on Sunday. That’s because the two time ACM Female Vocalist of the Year decided to bring her younger brother Luke as her date for the evening.
“He was my date because obviously my date was really busy all night,” Miranda said with a laugh.”It was really cool. He's not like a public person at all he likes to kinda stay in the background. He does my website and stuff so he's one of those people, he's like 'I don't wanna talk on the red carpet, ok?' Of course I drug him into a few interviews, but I think he had a really great time and he's a great date.”
Miranda’s No.1 hit “The House That Built Me” was recognized as Single Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Video of the Year. Even though Lambert didn’t the tune, says the song is very personal to her. She also revealed the the song means a lot to her brother as well.
“Luke loved “The House That Built Me,” I mean, it's about our family,” she stated. “We're small, it's just me my brother and my parents. I remember when we did it on the Grammys he saw a picture of us in the video behind me on the screen that he had never seen of us and text my mom right then and said please send me this pic of me and Miranda when we were little. It's really cool, 'cause he's my brother, he's kinda like whatever, I'm proud of you, go away,” (laughs). It was really cool that it meant a lot to him.”
