Nov. 10, 2010 — -- It's official: country music has a new power couple.

Miranda Lambert and her fiancé Blake Shelton had about the best night two country stars could possibly have Wednesday at the 44th Annual Country Music Association (CMA) Awards, carting home five awards in all, including Female Vocalist of the Year, Album of the Year and Video for Miranda, and Male Vocalist and Musical Event of the Year for Blake.

In addition, Miranda's hit "The House that Built Me" was named Song of the Year.

Accepting the award for Female Vocalist from her idol Loretta Lynn towards the end of the night, Miranda said, "I don't know what's going on! I just told Blake I think we need to go to church!"

To top it off, Wednesday was also Miranda's 27th birthday.

Blake's win for Male Vocalist -- his first ever -- earned wild cheers from the crowd, and actual tears from Reba McEntire.

After walking to the podium, Blake said, "That was 34 years' worth of steps for me, y'all. This is a really big deal for me...this is unbelievable!"

Miranda was very emotional after winning Female Vocalist but the Album of the Year win, for Revolution, obviously meant a lot, too.

She told the crowd, "It's my baby. It's what I do. It's what I live for. Thank you so much for loving it too."

Miranda and Blake's big night inspired the show's co-host, Brad Paisley to comment, "After the night they're having, I think we can expect a baby in about nine months."
