You'll Want to Hug Miranda Lambert After Hearing Her CMA Acceptance Speech

Miranda Lambert took the stage at the CMAs on Wednesday evening in Nashville, TN, to accept the award for female vocalist of the year for her hit single "Bathroom Sink." During her acceptance speech, Miranda subtly referenced her split from her husband of four years [1], Blake Shelton, who was also in attendance, saying, "Hi guys, thank you so much. Man, I appreciate it. I needed a bright spot this year, so thank you." She also mentioned Justin Timberlake [2] and Chris Stapleton, who gave a killer performance [3], adding, "I love country music fans, and I'm just gonna keep it short, but Justin Timberlake and Chris Stapleton, thank you very much. I'm gonna go home and practice. Thank y'all very much, I love y'all." Watch Miranda's touching speech above, and then check out the best CMA Awards snaps [4] you didn't see on TV.
