Sugarland - ACM Awards 2012 Red Carpet

Sugarland‘s Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Bush share a smile at the 2012 Academy Of Country Music Awards held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena on Sunday (April 1) in Las Vegas.

The duo were up for Top Vocal Duet of the Year, but lost out to Thompson Square. Sugarland won the category in both 2011 and 2009.

Jennifer will be featured on the upcoming reality show Duets! “Just finished my Las Vegas portion for the #Duets auditions! Here’s a sneak peak!” she tweeted, along with a picture.

Duets will premiere this summer.

FYI: Jennifer paired her custom Max Azria Atelier gown with Kimberly McDonald earrings. Kristian wore Shipley & Halmos.
