Blake Shelton captured album of the year, Miranda Lambert won female vocalist of the year and Taylor Swift was honored with the Pinnacle award for her achievements, but it was George Strait who won the night's top honor at the Country Music Awards — entertainer of the year.
Strait, who is retiring from the road, nabbed his third trophy in the category but hadn't won the prestigious award since 1990.
He capped a night where there was no clear favorite. Shelton, Swift, Keith Urban, Tim McGraw and Florida Georgia Line won two awards each.

Tickled me to death!! I’ve loved him since the 80’s and been to many a concert. I was as shocked as he was, but still delighted. Very well deserved!
Thanks Sybeck1.

Well, there was that mis-informed race riot.
Didn’t need to happen, Tulsa just happened to be at the bubbling crust.
Hard to say where that faultline is now, but nuts don’t fall far from the tree as a rule....
Can’t believe we are still plowing that field 90 years later....
High praise indeed.
Strait’s highly anticipated show at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena sold out within
six minutes of going on sale Friday, Oct. 25.
