NASHVILLE, April 17 (UPI) -- Carrie Underwood's vengeful-woman-done-wrong "Before He Cheats" won the three awards in the 2007 CMT Music Awards presentation in Nashville.

Other winners in the fan-determined competition included Kenny Chesney, Jack Ingram, Rascal Flatts and Sugarland.

"Before He Cheats" won honors for female video and video of the year, as well as video director of the year for Roman White, CMT said Tuesday in a news release. Underwood was presented awards in all three categories.

Underwood, an "American Idol" winner, said, "I started out on a fan-based show and you guys have continued to support me throughout everything."

Taylor Swift's video for "Tim McGraw" was named breakthrough video of the year. The 17-year-old thanked the people in the audience, as well as the "MySpace people and everyone who voted."

Chesney won the male video award for "You Save Me." Rascal Flatts' "What Hurts the Most" won in the group video category and Sugarland's "Want To" won in the duo video division.

Jack Ingram's "Love You" won the Wide Open Country video award for pushing the genre's boundaries.
