The 2013 Academy of Country Music Awards took place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on April 7.
While many expected to see country singers in cowboy boots, the red carpet was instead filled with lovely ladies in stunning gowns and gents in dapper suits.

Taylor Swift was one of the many female celebs who stunned on the red carpet. Even though she didn’t win an award (despite being nominated in five categories), she stole the show in a shimmering Dolce & Gabbana gown.
Dressed in a similar-looking shimmery gown was Jana Kramer in Badgley Mischka. Miranda Lambert, on the other hand, looked va-va-voom in her Willow dress, and she was actually the night’s big winner, bringing home three trophies.
