"I don't even realize what's even happening tonight," Lambert said after taking the Female Vocalist Award. "I love my job so much. I will never not my job."

Lambert won the album honor for "Platinum." She took the song honor for "Automatic, an honor she shared with co-writers Natalie Gulyon and Natalie Hemby. She thanked Lambert, telling her "I hope I can be your Dean Dillon because you're my George Strait."
