Lambert won top album of the year for her album "Platinum", while her hit song "Automatic" nabbed the prize for CMA's single of the year.

"I really poured my heart and soul into this one more than ever. I turned 30 last year and felt I needed to sing about new stuff," Lambert said during her acceptance speech for her top album award. "I wrote with a lot of my friends, sang with a lot of my friends... and I appreciate you fans supporting it and relating to it."

The first award presented during the ceremony was for the single of the year, which was awarded to Lambert for her hit "Automatic," according to CMT.com.

Miranda shared the award with her producers. "Thank you so much ... Frank Liddell, Glenn Worf and Chuck Ainley for producing this amazing record. I've got to thank my girlfriends, Natalie (Hemby) and Nicolle (Galyon), for helping me write this song. It means so much to me. Thank you so much, country radio, for playing it. It really has a special place in my heart."

Miranda Lambert also shared honors with Keith Urban for CMA musical event of the year for their collaboration on "We Were Us", says TasteofCountry.com. Aside from top album and best single, Lambert received a total of nine nominations, including entertainer of the year and best female vocalist.
