Who knew that anyone was going to take "Pants Off, Dance Off" so seriously, much less every pop star under 50! Going pantsless has become a pop trend we just can't deny. No one who is anyone wears pants anymore. Take Sunday night's American Music Awards for example. Carrie Underwood performed in booty shorts, Jennifer Lopez in some silky skivvies and Lady Gaga in what we think may have been nude Spanx. Where have all the trousers gone? Our experts weigh in after the jump.

Taylor Swift tied Michael Jackson with the most wins at the 2009 American Music Awards in Los Angeles Sunday night, capping off a total of four wins with the biggest honor of the night, Artist of the Year.

Michael Jackson, Eminem, Lady Gaga and Kings of Leon were also nominated for the award.

In her acceptance speech, transmitted live from London where she was rehearsing for a performance Monday night, Swift paid tribute to Michael Jackson and thanked his family, particularly sister Janet Jackson, for their support.

Taylor Swift had a night to remember at the 43rd Annual CMA Awards, sweeping all the major honors she was up for (full coverage at The Boot). But even as the awards keep racking up for the young star, she can't seem to escape the moment in September when Kanye West interrupted her.

On two occasions at the CMAs (one intentional, the other not so much) her fellow Nashvillians had a bit of fun with the oft-parodied episode, with co-host Brad Paisley getting the joke on him. First, Grand Ole Opry star Little Jimmy Dickens interrupted Carrie Underwood when she was praising Paisley's song 'Welcome to the Future.' Watch:

Why She's About to Pop: Hailing from the South, Serabee brings a soulful edge to pop music. The singer has been performing since the age of five, when she joined her father's touring band. Her father, a preacher, traveled with Serabee and the rest of the family around the country to play for church crowds. Serabee soon discovered the music of Aretha Franklin, Prince, Ray Charles and Steve Winwood, and they all influenced her own vocal style and attitude. In time, the singer developed her songwriting skills, and eventually penned Charlotte Church's 'Crazy Chick,' which became a big hit in the UK. Now, Serabee has recorded her own EP, filmed her first music video and is ready to introduce the world to her sound.

"I can't wait to get on the road," Serabee tells PopEater. "Playing music is my favorite thing, and it is so exciting to think about sharing mine with everyone." Check out Serabee's single, 'Driving Me Stupid,' and the rest of her debut EP, available on Nov. 10.

Country superstar Carrie Underwood will be returning to Fox this December, but not to the show that made her famous. She will be hosting a holiday variety show tentatively called 'Carrie Underwood: An All-Star Holiday Special,' Billboard reports.

In a throwback to the 70's, the fourth-season 'American Idol' winner will perform songs and comedy sketches with the help of celebrity guests. So far Dolly Parton, Brad Paisley and David Cook have all been signed to appear on the two-hour special.
