April 5- American Idol turned country superstar Carrie Underwood took home the coveted Entertainer of the Year at Sunday night’s Academy of Country Music Awards. She became the first woman to win the award since the Dixie Chicks were named Entertainer of the Year in 2000.
"I've had a lot of good moments over the past four years," she said. "This one takes the cake. I feel like I just won American Idol all over again."
Entertainer of the Year is voted on by fans.
The night’s other big winner was Taylor Swift, who won Album of the Year for
Fearless. The 19-year-old Swift beat out Underwood,
George Strait, Jamey Johnson and
Montgomery Gentry.
