Being accompanied by her father Billy Ray Cyrus, teen sensation Miley Cyrus attended 2009 Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards. The 16-year-old cutie looked very beautiful wearing a Monique L'hullier dress with jewel details paired with high heels, while her dad wore black jacket and jeans matched with brown shoes. That night, Miley was set to perform on stage singing her single "The Climb".

The 44th ACM Awards was held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Sunday evening, April 5. Hitting the orange carpet, 19-year-old country songstress Taylor Swift smiled to cameras.
