NASHVILLE, Tenn. — It really has been a “Revolution” for Miranda Lambert: The blond firebrand has won the Country Music Association award for album of the year and completed a sweep of major country-music awards Wednesday night on Lambert’s 27th birthday.
” ‘Revolution’ truly has caused a revolution in my life this year,” Lambert said.
Lambert beat out her good friends Lady Antebellum for the coveted award and also won video of the year earlier in the night. Her song “The House That Built Me” won song of the year for songwriters Tom Douglas and Allan Shamblin. The tale of a family’s hard-luck times mirrors Lambert’s own upbringing and has resonated with fans, spurring her to nine nominations.
Lady Antebellum had nothing to be blue about, riding its hit “Need You Now” to wins for single of the year and vocal group. The Zac Brown Band won new artist of the year.
