2012 Academy of Country Music Awards Celebrity Red Carpet Pictures: Taylor Swift, Nicole Kidman and More

Taylor Swift, Keith Urban and Carrie Underwood were just a few of the big country stars who walked the red carpet at the Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas today. Taylor, fresh from the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards, wore a pretty white J. Mendel gown for the festivities. She was supposed to bring cancer-stricken patient Kevin McGuire as her date for the show, but unfortunately he was hospitalised and unable to attend; on the weekend Taylor tweeted, “Just talked to Kevin McGuire. He's not well enough to join me at the ACMs. Please keep him in your thoughts. I'll make it up to you, Kevin!” Nicole Kidman and Keith flew out of Sydney late last week with their daughters so Keith could rehearse for the ACMs, where he’s hitting the stage to perform his new song “For You.” Others who headed to Vegas for the event include LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian, Marc Anthony with his new girlfriend Shannon De Lima, Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert, and Steve Martin.
