Miranda Lambert Fans would like to wish Miranda a very happy birthday! And we would also like to wish her luck tonight at the CMA Awards! May she continue to have much more success in her career and her personal life! She’s worked hard and she deserves it after all these years!

Country music stars were on hand Tuesday night for an awards show that honors songwriters and publishers who had the biggest hits over the last year.

Some of the biggest names in country music made their way down the red carpet for the BMI Awards. They were ready to recognize the folks who write the lines that lead to hit songs.

“So tonight is about honoring the people that do that and all of us that are striving to do that,” said

The stars included Keith Urban, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, and Luke Bryan. Bryan has a medallion for the song “Do I”, a number one hit that changed his career.

“So it’s nice to be here in honor of the song that really got is started for me. So I’m loving it man,” said Bryan.

Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood from Lady Antebellum are BMI writers. Believe it or not, so is CBS newsman Bob Schieffer, who dabbles in songwriting.

“This is kind of the backbone of the music industry and it’s right here in Nashville,” said Schieffer.

For 58 years, BMI has put medallions around the necks of writers like Miranda Lambert. She helped write her hit “White Liar” which went all the way to number one.

“You hope that a song you write will do that, because it means even that much more. It’s a piece of your soul, you know,” said Lambert.

The best of Nashville’s songwriters got their moment in the spotlight Tuesday night. Taylor Swift took home the top award of Songwriter of the year.

Many of the stars at the BMI awards will be back on the red carpet on Wednesday night for the 44th annual CMA Awards. NewsChannel 5 will be live on the black carpet starting at 4 p.m.

Award Shows > 2010 > 11/09/2010 – 58th Annual BMI Country Music Awards

I’ve added 12 photos of Miranda and Blake at the 58th Annual BMI Country Music Awards tonight. They both look amazing! If any other pictures surface I will add them to the gallery, until then be sure to check these out!

Viewers of Wednesday’s CMA Awards will be seeing more – and less – of nine-time nominee Miranda Lambert.

“She looks amazing,” Blake Shelton told PEOPLE at rehearsals on Monday of his fiancée, who hired a personal trainer to travel with her on her most recent tour. “She set a goal for herself, worked hard and I am so proud of her.”

For her part, Lambert, 26, is doing more than just watching what she eats. “My trainer’s been kicking my butt,” she said at rehearsals. “It’s not so much losing weight as toning up, getting rid of the jiggles and wiggles.”

Continues Lambert: “I’m down to a size 6. I had to have all my clothes taken in – so I’m really excited about that.”

Lambert will show off her fit figure during two performances – a John Prine song from her album of the year nominated Revolution and, again, with Sheryl Crow in a tribute to Loretta Lynn – at Wednesday’s awards show, which airs live on ABC (8 p.m. ET) from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena.

As for her astounding nine nominations, Lambert knows she can’t win them all.

“I’m competing against myself in three categories,” she says. “I hope I don’t knock myself out.”

Either way, the night will end with a big bang – and a large pizza. “I’ll be 27 on Wednesday,” she says. “After the show, I’m going to get together with my family and friends and celebrate my birthday.”

Continues the singer: “I plan to eat! I haven’t eaten pizza in 30 days and I can’t wait!”
