Lambert has had quite a year for herself, with multiple hit singles with Somethin' Bad and Automatic. She also won big at the CMA Awards last month, making her one of country music's biggest stars for 2014.

"Thank you, CMT, for this amazing night in honoring everything we work for so hard all year and all the amazing artists," declared Lambert during her acceptance speech Tuesday night.

"My husband, I always forget to thank him," she added, "But he's my rock, Blake Shelton. He's somewhere on TV right now, I think. But I appreciate it so much. And thank you so much to the fans for buying our music-all of our music-and giving us a great life and letting us live our dream."

Lambert's latest album, Platinum, hit stores June 3.
