Carrie Underwood triumphs at CMTs

Carrie Underwood scooped two prizes at the CMT Awards last night.

The annual country music ceremony was held in Nashville, Tennessee, and saw the biggest stars in the industry gather to honour each other.

Carrie was the big winner of the evening, taking home the coveted Video of the Year trophy for her track Good Girl. It marked the third consecutive year she was won the award.

The 29-year-old singer also won the Collaborative Video of the Year gong for Remind Me, her song with Brad Paisley.

Carrie's husband Mike Fisher was on hand to support her last night and was overcome when she picked up the prize with Brad. Mike grabbed his wife's duet partner, much to her amusement.

"Did you see my husband hug him first?" she laughed to the audience at the Bridgestone Arena.

Brad felt he needed to set the record straight: "To my wife [Kimberly Williams] at home: there's nothing going on with me and Mike."

Miranda Lambert also did well last night, taking home the Female Video of the Year award for her song Over You, marking the third time she has triumphed in the category.

Other winners included Lady Antebellum, who received the Group Video of the Year trophy for their hit We Owned the Night.

"Thank you, CMT, for really connecting the dot with these videos," band member Dave Haywood said. "Thank you for playing these things."

American Idol star Scotty McCreery won the USA Weekend Breakthrough Video of the Year for The Trouble With Girls.

Kristen Bell and Toby Keith hosted proceedings, kicking the event off with a mock political campaign in which they asked America to vote for who was the best presenter. US President Barack Obama, Republican candidate Mitt Romney, Matthew McConaughey and Bon Jovi then told viewers who they would be backing.

"It's one of the toughest decisions [I've ever made]," Obama joked. "I want them both."

The show was broadcast on CMT, with voting happening via the network's website.
