Country Music's Biggest Stars Hit the Red Carpet

Las Vegas was the place to be for all the excitement at the 44th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards and we spoke to Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Kellie Pickler, Julianne Hough, Miley Cyrus, Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman right before the big show!

Carrie Underwood revealed that although she was nominated in three different categories and has established herself as a country music powerhouse, she still felt a little nervous before the show.

"Today I think I'm actually more nervous this year than I've been just about any other year," she says. "Usually it would kind of come and go, and all day I just haven't felt very good to be honest. I feel great physically, it just gets to you I think."

Country singer and "Dancing with the Stars" pro Julianne Hough, who was nominated in the Top New Female Vocalist category tells ET how honored she feels to be in such great company.

"This is awesome to be here as an artist," Julianne says. "And be here with other artists I've looked up to and be on the same carpet -- be in the same room, there's nothing like it this is really cool. I'm so happy to be here and put the dancing on the side, it's great."

Julianne also tells Kevin about her first minor "Dancing" spat with partner and boyfriend Chuck Wicks -- watch the video for all the red-carpet action.
