There's big, and then there's Carrie Underwood's dress last week at the Academy Of Country Music Awards.
The country music star, who took home awards for Entertainer of the Year and Top Female Vocalist, wore a red strapless gown that literally covered the entire stage while she performed his her hit song "I Told You So."
She had been sworn to secrecy about the frock before her performance, though she described it to the AP as , "Kind of like water, maybe? Like red water? That sounds scary, doesn't it? Maybe like lava. It's like lava. Or icing. Red icing."
Carrie Underwood became the first woman since 2001 to be named ACM entertainer of the year, and only the seventh female to win the Academy of Country Music's top honor since it was first handed out in 1970.
"I've had a lot of good moments in the last four years. This one takes the cake!" said a teary-eyed Underwood, her voice cracking onstage Sunday at the 44th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards. "I don't know what to say! I got nothing." But she did remember one important person: Raising her trophy, she yelled, "Mike, baby, I wish you were here!" in a shout-out to her boyfriend, Ottawa Senators hockey player Mike Fisher.
Underwood also took home the award for top female vocalist, a repeat of last year's win.
