Lambert won three awards during last night's show including her ninth consecutive "Female Vocalist of the Year" award and two for "Song of the Year" for her emotionally-raw hit "Tin Man" (songwriter and performer) from her Platinum double-album The Weight of These Wings.

"I cannot believe this, I really can't," Lambert said. "I love country music. It's my entire life, and the fact that you all care so much about what I'm doing, I'll never take it for granted."
