Taste of Country has gathered a collection of pictures in honor of country music's sexiest women of 2010. Not only are these women drop-dead gorgeous, but they have also been making headlines for their musical endeavors this year.

The first woman in our gallery of country hotties is Cheyenne Kimball of the country group Gloriana. The stunning blond singer and mandolin player has every reason to look back on 2010 fondly, since Gloriana won an ACM for Top New Vocal Group. Next in our gallery is the radiant Sara Evans, whose hugely successful single 'A Little Bit Stronger' will appear on the 'Country Strong' soundtrack.

After Evans comes the always adorable Kimberly Perry of the Band Perry. The sibling band released a debut album in October, and the single 'If I Die Young' hit the No. 1 spot on Billboard's hot country songs. Next up is Little Big Town's beautiful brunette, Karen Fairchild, who, along with her fellow band members, saw their latest album 'The Reason Why' soar to the No. 1 spot on Billboard's country albums.

Following Fairchild is Sugarland's Jennifer Nettles. The sexy blond singer has had a huge year with the release of Sugarland's latest album 'The Incredible Machine.' After Nettles is Reba McEntire, who at 55-years-old, is still looking as beautiful as ever. She continued to make musical strides throughout 2010 with the release of her 34th studio album 'All the Women I Am' and her hugely popular No. 1 single 'Turn on the Radio.'

Lady Antebellum's sultry brunette, Hillary Scott, is our next pick for country music's sexiest women of 2010. Lady Antebellum pretty much owned 2010 with over 20 award nominations (seven of which they won); the group is also nominated for seven Grammy awards in 2011. After Scott comes America's sweetheart, Taylor Swift. The charming and ravishing 21-year-old singer and songwriter toured throughout 2010, released her third studio album and even made her acting debut in the film 'Valentine's Day.'

Miranda Lambert comes in at number two. The musician is incredibly sexy, not only because of her attractive looks and keen sense of style, but also because of her domination over country music this year. She has won several CMA awards for her album 'Revolution,' and she is also nominated for several 2011 Grammy awards. Finally, Carrie Underwood is our number one sexiest women in country music. Underwood's beaming smile and classic beauty in addition to her amazing talent make her the reigning country beauty for 2010. On top of all this, Taste of Country recently reported that Underwood was voted Best Bridal Body in Fitness Magazine's 2010 year-end issue.
