Carrie Underwood wins first Grammy!
When her name was called out as the winner of the female country vocal solo performance, you had to figure she'd won a Grammy before. But actually, it's American Music Awards, Country Music Awards and People's Choice Awards that she's been cleaning up on in the past year.
"This is my first Grammy! Hopefully, the first of a few more!"
The "American Idol" winner from a few seasons back thanked the show's creator Simon Fuller and said: "That's the reason I'm here...I've been so blessed over the past couple of years and I'm so grateful for it."
Vince Gill won in the country male category but he was not present to accept his Grammy.
