Reba McEntire, who won the entertainer of the year at the Academy of Country Music Awards back in 1994, was the host of this year awards, for the 11th time.

McEntire said that she was proud of Carrie Underwood because she had won the the entertainer of the year award this year, because it is harder for a women to get the top trophies. “It’s always been that way and the women always overachieve, in my opinion”, she said.

In the history of 39-years of the ACM, only six women won the award. They were Loretta Lynn (1975), Dolly Parton (1977), Barbara Mandrell (1980), Reba McEntire (1994), Shania Twain (1999) and Dixie Chicks (2000).
