"I think I just got make-up all over Brad Paisley," Underwood said as she accepted her entertainer of the year award from the star.
"Thank you God. Praise the Lord."
Lady Antebellum, whose latest album Need You Now was number one in the main US Billboard 200 album chart, won awards including best vocal group, bringing an end to Rascal Flatts' seven-year run as the winner in that category.
They also won best song and single of the year for crossover hit Need You Now which reached number two in the US singles chart.
Singer Charles Kelley said: "It's just wild, man.
"You never know where a song can take you and tonight is probably the pinnacle of our career."
