As one of the biggest names in country music, it was no surprise that Taylor Swift showed up at the 2013 CMT Awards in Nashville, Tennessee earlier this evening (June 5).

The “I Knew You Were Trouble" songstress got all gussied up and hit the red carpet outside the Bridgestone Arena to show off her posing prowess before heading inside.

As the night unfolds, Dierks Bentley, Eric Church, Luke Bryan & Ryan Tedder, Miranda Lambert, Rascal Flatts & Journey, and Toby Keith will all battle it out for the Performance of the Year honors.

Meanwhile, the Group Video of the Year nominees include Lady Antebellum, Little Big Town, Pistol Annies, Rascal Flatts, The Band Perry, and Zac Brown Band.
