Miranda has a lot to raise a glass to 

This is the first time Miranda has been named Entertainer of the Year, which means that after now winning the category, as well as Female New Artist and Female Artist categories, she has won the coveted triple-crown.

The moment won't be easy to forget for Miranda, who clearly still can't stop thinking about it.

While Miranda couldn't be there, the ACM Awards were still packed with performances with the likes of Carrie Underwood, Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan, Chris Young, Kelsea Ballerini, and Kelly Clarkson taking to the stage.
