Miranda Lambert on Winning a CMA Award After Blake Shelton Divorce: “I Needed a Bright Spot This Year”

In the wake of her recent divorce from Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert finally has something to smile about!

The 31-year-old country star happily accepted her Female Vocalist of the Year award at last night's CMAs and even referred to the win as a much needed "bright spot" in her otherwise stressful year.

"Man, I really appreciate it," Miranda said while accepting the honor on Wednesday, Nov. 4. "I needed a bright spot this year, so thank you. I love country music fans."
