Blake Shelton teased Taylor Swift last night on the Academy of Country Music awards, mocking her usual expression of surprise over a win. While Swift did pick up the entertainer of the year award (for the second year in a row), Shelton, who co-hosted with Reba McEntire, picked up his first win in the male vocalist category.

"Now this, that was a real shocked face," said Shelton. "I didn't see that coming. Co-hosting this, I haven't even thought about this at all … I don't even know what the hell to say. I was sitting back there saying the words to Dierks' song (Home) 'it's been a long hard ride and there's a ways to go.' That's still the way I feel, and I'm proud to take this home tonight."

Other big winners of the night included Shelton's wife, Miranda Lambert, and Jason Aldean. Each collected trophies in two categories.
