Lauren Alaina - CMA Awards 2011

Lauren Alaina hits the stage with Jake Owen to present New Artist of the Year at the 2011 CMA Awards held at the Bridgestone Arena on Wednesday night (November 9) in Nashville, Tenn.

The 17-year-old singer switched up her outfit from the red carpet from a white show stopped into a shiny gold dress. Gorgeous!

The New Artist of the Year winner = The Band Perry.

Lauren recently chatted with Taste of Country about her next move, following the release of debut album Wildflower.

“Some time next year, I’m going to go out on tour opening up for someone [big],” she shared. “We’ll be announcing that some time coming up, but right now I’m doing a lot of promotion for my new album. I’m just trying to get my name out there a little bit more and be able to perform as much as I can.”

WHO DO YOU THINK Lauren will tour with?
