Shelton, 37, took home Album of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year, while Lambert, 29, won her fourth straight Female Vocalist of the Year award.

Wearing a sleek blue dress with a plunging neckline, Lambert stunned everyone on the carpet and at the show with her toned body.

"I just felt that I should get a little more healthy … I have this spot, I found a great spot in country music and I want to keep it," she told reporters backstage of the weight loss.

She explained that heading into her 30th birthday Sunday, she felt "like I needed to get ahead of the game."

"Everybody always says, 'Well, it goes downhill from there.' I just thought, maybe if I get ahead of it a little, I can kind of not have to work so hard later in life," she added.
