Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert, Blake Shelton, Taylor Swift Rope in CMT Music Award Nominations

Former American Idol scores a leading five nominations from country music-honoring show, including Video and Performance of the Year

It's a man's world? Not where country music is concerned.

The nominations for the 2012 CMT Music Awards were announced this morning and it's safe to say the ladies are showing those fellas who's boss. Country cutie and perpetual crossover fave Carrie Underwood led the way, scoring a leading five nominations, including Video and Performance of the Year, closely followed by Miranda Lambert, who nabbed four nods for both her solo and group work.

Who else made the cut?

Not to be outdone by his missus, country bad boy and Voice judge Blake Shelton earned himself three nominations for the music net's awards, joined in his triple-crowning by the genre's usual suspects—this time around, Jason Aldean, Lady Antebellum, Rascal Flatts, Taylor Swift, Thompson Square and The Civil Wars.

Underwood, the frontrunner nominee, managed to nab two spots on the Video of the Year list, both for "Good Girl" and "Remind Me," her collaboration with Brad Paisley. Her Paisley duet also earned her a nod for Collaborative Video of the Year, while "Good Girl" scored her a Female Video of the Year nod. She's also up for Performance of the Year thanks to her "Just a Dream/Dream On" collaboration with Steven Tyler on their CMT Crossroads special.

As for Lambert, her video for "Over You" earned her two nods, for Female Video of the Year and Video of the Year, but it wasn't just her solo work she got honored for. As part of her band Pistol Annies, she's also up for Group Video of the Year and USA Weekend Breakthrough Video of the Year for "Hell on Heels."

Meanwhile, Swift has Hunger Games to thank for two of her three nods, as her contribution to the film's soundtrack, "Safe & Sound," earned her both Collaborative Video of the Year and Video of the Year nods.

Shelton's "God Gave Me You" earned him Male and Video of the Year nods, while his Invitation Only: Blake Shelton performance of "Footloose" earned him a nomination for CMT Performance of the Year.

As for other big-name nominees, Natasha Bedingfield, Kenny Chesney, Brad Paisley, Toby Keith, Grace Potter and Zac Brown Band earned two nods apiece, while Sara Evans, Vince Gill, Little Big Town, Martina McBride, Kellie Pickler, Lionel Richie (really), Scott McCreery, Montgomery Gentry, Sting, Keith Urban, The Band Perry, Shania Twain and Sugarland all earned one each.
