Taylor Swift - ACM Awards 2012

Last night, the Academy of Country Music gave out some awards. No, I didn’t watch—frankly, I wasn’t even going to cover it on here until I saw the pics. And then I knew we had to talk.

The only thing that offended me was Lea Michele’s faux tears. Watch the gif here. Seriously, Lea? COME ON.)

In case you missed it, here’s my rundown of this year’s Golden Globes beauty wins. (See? I can be nice.) But I just can’t lie to you about how I feel re: these looks.

Let’s start with the Not Bad, But Still Boring ones first. Zzzzzzz… Keep reading »
