NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Taylor Swift’s fans gave her another trophy Wed nesday while Miranda Lambert’s “The House That Built Me” continued its extraordinary run and Sheryl Crow’s underwear stole the show at the fan-voted 2011 CMT Music Awards. Swift won the biggest award, video of the year, for “Mine,” thanks to her fans. Lambert took female video of the year for the life-changing song that earned her a Grammy.
Crow wore a short, white skirt and sat on a stool to sing “Collide” alongside host Kid Rock. She briefly flashed the camera as she stood up.
It happened in the blink of an eye, but the moment went viral on Twitter, something Crow acknowledged about an hour later when she and Sara Evans presented an award. “Well, at least you were wearing underwear,” Evans told Crow. The Associated Press
