Taylor Swift new look

Country cutie Taylor Swift arrived wearing a rust-coloured dress and cut a very sleek figure after taming her curly mane for the night, but although she wowed on the red carpet she was a dud when it came to winning.

Despite being up for three awards Swift failed to take home a single gong at the 2010 CMT Music Awards in Nashville, Tennessee – being pipped at the post by Carrie Underwood, the winner of the night who scored two awards.

Swift was up for Female Video of the Year, Collaborative Video of the Year (with Kellie Pickler), and Video of the Year, but it was Underwood who scooped up the coveted Video of the Year award, along with the CMT Performance of the Year award.
