The Fan-Voted Award Winners

Carrie Underwood couldn't contain her excitement following the American Country Awards.

"Ahhhh!!! I just won 2 #ACAs!" she tweeted as soon as the show ended.   Underwood's two wins on Monday night set a record. She now has 11 ACAs in total, the most any artist has ever taken home from the show, which has only been running for three years.  She took home the award for female artist of the year during the show in Mandalay Bay.

Fox-TV's AMERICAN COUNTRY AWARDS is the only country music awards show that gives fans the opportunity to vote for their favorite artists not only in traditional categories but also in previously unrecognized areas of the business such as touring, encompassing the entire spectrum of country music and bestowing honors that no other awards show has.

Fox News runs down all of the winners after last night's TV show.

Tim & Faith: Vegas Show Is Not Typical

The only thing better than seeing Tim McGraw or Faith Hill in concert, is seeing  Tim  and Faith together in concert.

And, as announced earlier this year, McGraw and Faith Hill just kicked off their 10-week Soul2Soul show at The Venetian in Las Vegas over the weekend.

Tim, himself, described the appeal of the show to Neil Haislop, "It’s such an intimate setting. I think that the main thing that we’re going to look at it is, as a chance to really connect with a small amount of people. Eighteen hundred people at one time in which… is a totally different thing than anything that we’re used to doing.”  He added, “In the past, it’s been two songs together then Faith would do her show, then we’d do two songs together, then I would do my show and then we would do 2 or 3 songs together at the end. So it’s been us together touring, but it’s also been our shows individually at the same time. That was really the focus of doing this, is this is really a chance to do something in a setting in one place, in a small, intimate setting that we could actually be on stage the entire time together.”

Florida Georgia Line Hits #1

The hot new duo has more than enough holiday cheer to wrap up the year. The newcomers have topped the Country radio charts – earning their first U.S. #1 – with their debut single “Cruise,” which has been certified PLATINUM by the RIAA for selling over 1 million copies.

Their aptly-titled debut album on Republic Nashville has been out for less than a week now.

“We’ve been completely amazed by what ‘Cruise’ has done. To have our debut single sell over a million and be #1 on the week our debut album is out. … we are so thankful. We can’t wait to meet all of you out on the road,” said FGL’s Tyler Hubbard of Monroe, Georgia.

FGL’s Brian Kelley from Ormond Beach, Florida agreed, "I remember jokingly telling Tyler when we were recording that ‘Cruise’ was going to sell a million copies and I can’t believe it’s actually a reality. We’ve been working so hard to give our fans something they can bob their heads along to and a way for them to get to know us a little more. We think this album accomplishes that and has something for everyone.”

 
Florida Georgia Line has sold-out multiple headlining shows and is opening for Jake Owen on the “CMT On Tour,” giving fans a preview of the new music in recent months. In January 2013, they’ve been selected to open on Luke Bryan’s “Dirt Road Diaries Tour."
