Sleek and straight : Taylor Swift debuted her new 'do at last night's CMT Awards in Nashville


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.

Nicole Kidman played the supportive wife as she joined her husband Keith Urban, who performed as well as took home an award for Male Video of the Year.

The actress brought a touch of Hollywood glamour to the ceremony, where she was spotted cheering in the front row.

Nicole,42, who was dressed in a gold confection, skipped the red carpet but there was no shortage of stars willing to flaunt their frocks.
