Carrie Underwood was again a Country Music Television Awards winner, collecting all three awards for which she was nominated on Monday night — video of the year, female video of the year, and director of the year. In 2006, Underwood won for breakthrough video of the year.
"It was at the CMT Awards last year that I gave my very first awards speech ever,” Underwood said upon winning the award for video of the year. Underwood was grateful to the fans throughout the telecast.
Underwood won the award for video of the year for "Before He Cheats.”
Roman White, Underwood's director on "Before He Cheats,” won the award for video director of the year for his work on that video.
"She's one of the sweetest people I've ever met,” White said about his star.
The Country Music Television Awards are the only country music awards exclusively voted on by fans.
Three of the nominees for video of the year, which was voted on during the telecast, were Oklahoma artists.
Moore native Toby Keith, who lives in Norman, was nominated for "A Little Too Late.” Rascal Flatts was nominated for "What Hurts the Most.”
Comedian Jeff Foxworthy hosted the awards, which aired on CMT.
