Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Carrie Underwood took a pair of honors and Lauren Alaina won one at the American Country Awards, televised on FOX Monday night.

The big winner of the night was Luke Bryan, who took honors for Artist of the Year, Male Artist of the Year and won at least five other awards as well.

Carrie Underwood won Female Artist of the Year in the fan-voted awards. She was selected over Sara Evans, Miranda Lambert, Martina McBride and Taylor Swift.

And her “Remind Me” duet with Brad Paisley won in the Vocal Collaboration of the Year category.

Lauren Alaina won the New Artist of the Year Award over Hunter Hayes, Jana Kramer, Kip Moore, and Miranda Lambert’s group, Pistol Annies.

Miranda Lambert’s “Over You” topped Carrie’s “Good Girl” in the other two categories in which the Idol Season 4 winner was nominated — female single of the year and female video of the year.

Meanwhile, Carrie and Lauren were hardly the only Idol alumni on hand. Scotty McCreery, Casey James, Kristy Lee Cook and even Taylor Swift turned out for the show. Here are the photos.
