Elsewhere, she'll be seeking statues for Female Video, CMT Performance and Collaborative Video of the Year.
Among the Video of the Year hopefuls, she'll be chasing the honor alongside Lambert's own "Over You" and Swift's "The Hunger Games" soundtrack contribution with The Civil Wars "Safe & Sound".
As a solo artist, Lambert is also up against Underwood in the Female Video field, but she and Pistol Annies mates Angaleena Presley and Ashley Monroe are after Group Video and Breakthrought Video honors with their collaboration "Hell on Heels".
