VIDEO : Beyonce Steals The Show At The Country Music Awards', Garth Brooks Takes Home Top Prize

It's billed as country music's biggest night, but it was pop-R&B queen Beyonce who commanded the spotlight at the 50th annual Country Music Awards on Wednesday with a thumping performance of "Daddy Lessons." Accompanied by the Dixie Chicks, the Texas-born star appeared more than two hours into the more-than three hour long show, which was broadcast live from Nashville on ABC, frustrating fans who tuned in specially and expected her widely touted performance to open the show.
