Carrie Underwood's dress almost stole the singer's own thunder for her Entertainer of the Year win at Sunday's Academy of Country Music awards in Las Vegas.

The country music awards show has only given its most coveted award to a woman six times previously. But Carrie Underwood's dress during her performance "I Told You So" made a bigger splash -- the dark red strapless dress practically billowed across the set and threatened to swamp the MGM Grand, as seen in the video below.

The Associated Press, which got access to the dress rehearsal, was sworn to secrecy, but Carrie Underwood herself leaked a few details about her dress: "Kind of like water, maybe? Like red water? That sounds scary, doesn't it? Maybe like lava. It's like lava. Or icing. Red icing."
