Hello, Nashville! The 25 Best Looks to Ever Grace the CMT Awards Red Carpet

Jewel channelled her inner mermaid in this lacy fishtail-gown silhouette.

Taylor Swift's sparkly Collette Dinnigan minidress and romantic side-swept bun captured the spirit of the 1920s.

Model Karolina Kurkova showed off her long legs in a structured, oversized blazer dress. She accented her menswear-inspired look with black ankle boots and silver drop earrings.

Carrie Underwood is a repeat best-dressed contender on this list because she never fails to deliver. In 2012, she earned her spot with this sparkly gunmetal Randi Rahm minidress, thick ankle-strap heels, and a black Swarovski clutch.

Jordin Sparks is peachy perfection in this romantic floor-length Kevan Hall number.

Leona Lewis looked red-hot in a ruffled, off-the-shoulder number and black ankle-strap heels. The bright red hue and form-skimming silhouette certainly made her a standout look of the night.

It's official — red is definitely Lindsey Vonn's colour. The Olympic skier chose a form-fitting one-strapped Hamel gown that was equal parts sultry and glamorous.

We love that Kelsea Ballerini opted for something a little less traditional with this black sequin crop top and matching pants (and train!) set by Brandon Maxwell.

Carrie Underwood took the deep-V plunge in a pastel yellow and white Nicolas Jebran long-sleeved minidress. She paired the skin-baring look with metallic Jimmy Choo shoes and MARLI diamond earrings and rings.
