At 2017 Academy of Country Music Awards, Miranda Lambert received her eight consecutive award for Female Vocalist of the Year, surpassing the record previously held by Reba McEntire.
“This really means the world to me. Carrie can see me under the table, we’ve agreed on that,” Lambert teased fellow nominee and friend Carrie Underwood in her acceptance speech. “I’m just glad to see females kicking ass these days, I’m so proud to be part of that.”
Lambert also won the award for Album of the Year for her latest, The Weight of These Wings, which was written after her divorce from fellow country singer Blake Shelton in 2015.
“I just want to say thank you for letting me use my heartbreak and sharing that with me,” Lambert emotionally said before thanking her father, Rick, for helping her name the album.
The 33-year old star also performed her new single, “Tin Man,” at the awards night, bringing her guitar for a powerful performance.
