Taylor Swift took the top award at the 2011 Country Music Television Music Awards, landing video of the year honor for “Mine” on Wednesday in Nashville. Singer Blake Shelton collected two awards, male video and Web video while his bride, Miranda Lambert, won the female video honor for “The House That Built Me” and Lady Antebellum’s video for “Hello World” was named group video of the year.
Rascal Flatts, the Band Perry, Sugarland, Justin Bieber and director Trey Fanjoy also went home with CMT trophies, as did Jimmy Buffett and the Zac Brown Band, whose collaborative version of Buffett’s “Margaritaville” was named CMT’s performance video of the year.
Wednesday’s ceremony began with a video parody of the film “Thelma and Louise” featuring Swift and Shania Twain, who is mounting a return to the spotlight after the very public dissolution of her marriage to producer Robert “Mutt” Lange. After recently publishing her autobiography, “From This Moment On,” and releasing her first single in several years, “Today Is Your Day,” she took time at the CMT Awards to announce that she’ll start a two-year residency in Las Vegas at Caesar’s Palace in December.
