The Academy of Country Music's entertainer of the year award

Taylor Swift might not be able to count on the men in her life, but her fans have yet to let her down. And on Sunday, they rewarded her with one of the biggest prizes in country music — The Academy of Country Music's entertainer of the year award.
A record of nearly 600,000 voters participated in selecting this year's winner of the academy's most prestigious award, the only major award determined by fans. Swift's crew came through for her on a night when the industry and her peers rewarded firecracker Miranda Lambert with four trophies.
Fans could vote during the show and her spirited performance of "Mean," a rebuke to her critics on which she played banjo and nailed the vocal performance, probably led to a spike in voting.
While the awards are the point of the show, there were a number of blockbuster performances that featured unexpected mashups. Steven Tyler and Carrie Underwood rocked out to "Undo It" then segued to the Aerosmith classic "Walk This Way." James Taylor, who Brown calls his greatest influence, joined the singer's band on a medley of "Colder Weather" and "Sweet Baby James," and Rihanna, sporting a flaming reddish-orange pixie haircut, performed her song "California King Bed" with Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles.
