Kacey Musgraves won the album of the year award at Wednesday night's (Nov. 14) Country Music Association awards, for her third LP, Golden Hour.
"For all the little girls writing songs out there," introduced Karen Fairchild of Little Big Town, before presenting the award to the singer-songwriter -- appropriate, given that Musgraves was the only female artist among the nominees, which also included Keith Urban (Graffiti U), Thomas Rhett (Life Changes), Dierks Bentley (The Mountain) and Chris Stapleton (From A Room, Vol. 2), last year's winner of the award.
