Evening dresses and jackets instead of cowboy hats and denim vests: the best country singers have been awarded at the ACM Awards in Las Vegas. Especially Keith Urban should have been happy about the top prize of the "Entertainer of the Year".

The man of Nicole Kidman was moved by the award. "Baby Girl, I love you so much," Urban told Kidman at the gala, who sat in the audience. He also thanked in a tweet for the award. "Country music is booming around the world," Urban said, "I'm very grateful to be part of it."

Singer of the Year was Kacey Musgraves. The Texan was twice as happy: her album "Golden Hour" was voted best of the year.
