Ahead of one of the biggest nights in country music, the 45th annual CMA awards, many of countrys biggest names attended the 2011 BMI Country Awards held last night (November 8) in Nashville, Tennessee.

The always-sparkling Taylor Swift donned another glittery dress to pick up her multiple songwriting awards for songs like Back To December, Fearless, and Mine. Carrie Underwood wasnt nearly as shimmery, but looked equally as beautiful as she walked the red carpet in a one-shoulder, animal print number. She picked up awards for her singles Mamas Song and Undo It. (Get a full list of winners here.)
