ACM Awards 2012: Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood White Hot On Country’s Biggest Night [PHOTOS]

The 2012 American Country Music Awards was white hot Sunday night with country superstars Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood looking ravishing in winter white on the red carpet.

Taylor Swift, one of the biggest winners of the ACM Awards, looked stunning in a white J Mendel gown with metallic piping and side cut-outs. The 22-year-old accessorized with Christian Louboutin heels and Lorraine Schwartz jewels. Swift planned on bringing New Jersey native Kevin Maguire, a cancer-stricken teen who asked Swift to the prom, as her guest. However, Maguire was too ill to make his date with Swift. Just talked to Kevin McGuire. He's not well enough to join me at the ACMs. Please keep him in your thoughts. I'll make it up to you, Kevin! the country singer tweeted to fans before the show.

Another country cutie who looked wonderful in white was Carrie Underwood. Underwood wore a Abed Mahfouz couture gown, Oscar de la Renta shoes, Johnathon Amdt jewels and a Swarovski bag. The 29-year-old was nominated for Female Vocalist of the Year but lost to Miranda Lambert. Underwood took to the ACM Awards stage at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas and brought the house down while performing her new single, Good Girl. Helloooooo Las Vegas! It's good to be back! Got my dresses and I'm ready to get my #ACM on! Carrie tweeted to her fans earlier in the week.

The big winners of the 2012 ACM Awards, which was at times a bit bizarre, were Taylor Swift and Miranda Lambert. Swift took home the award for Entertainer of the Year, an award she has won before.

Thank you so much to the fans who voted for this, I am so happy about this, said Swift, who took home the same award in 2011. I want to say to my fellow nominees: I respect you so much. I love you.

Lambert took home the award for Female Vocalist of the Year. Lambert's husband, Blake Shelton, scored the award for Male Vocalist of the Year, making them one dynamic duo.

Seriously? I own every record in this category and I've been thinking 'Man, I'm not going to get it.' ... I am so thrilled, I will never take this trophy for granted. My albums are my babies, said Lambert.

Man ... I didn't see that coming at all, Shelton said while accepting his award. I was backstage repeating the lines to Dierks' song, 'It's been a long hard ride, I got a ways to go' and that's how I feel. I'm so proud to take this home tonight.

The more bizarre moments of the 2012 ACM Awards included an onstage wedding, KISS and Lady Antebellum meeting and Toby Keith singing a love song to a red solo cup alongside Wayne Newton and Carrot Top. Hmm. Not too sure who came up with those ideas, but we are sure it was all in good fun.
