LAS VEGAS -- Her third place finish in the 2003 season of "Nashville Star" now a mere blip in the rearview mirror, Miranda Lambert earned four first-place trophies at the 46th Academy of Country Music on Sunday night in Las Vegas. The Tyler, Texas native was honored as best female vocalist, and her introspective hit single "The House That Built Me," a down-home meditation on enduring values, was named both single and song of the year. The song snagged the video of the year, as well.
