The CMAs: Why Have I Not Watched This Before?

I love country music as much as the next person, and it definitely has a heavy rotation on both my ipod, and my radio, but I've never really watched any country award shows or anything, until last night when M and I randomly landed on the CMAs when we were watching tv. WOW I think that was one of the most fun award shows I've watched in awhile! I loved how it almost seemed like more of a concert with all of the performances, and I also liked how everyone seemed genuinely happy (or at least they can fake it really well) to be there and be performing. I absolutely LOVED Zac Brown Band's cover of The Devil Went Down to Georgia, Brad Paisley's Welcome to the Future (definitely one of my favorite songs right now), Reba, Carrie Underwood and Brooks and Dunn. But I have to admit that as much as I love her, Taylor Swift is starting to (slowly) get on my nerves...I love Fifteen, but her performance of it last night kinda reminded me of seeing NSync at the Burlington Mall when they were still doing mall tours. Overall though I thought it was great and a lot of fun! Did any of you watch it last night?

  1. I'm so glad you found the CMAs! As someone who wants to work in the country music industry, this is my idea of Christmas. I watched it, I tweeted live about it, I'm writing multiple articles on it... I love the CMAs!

  3. Such a great post sweetie and observations. I still feel like Carrie Underwood is the lady and Taylor Swift is the little girl, but actually ten years apart. Thanx for stopping by today,. Love your blog and will be back!! Hiya from San Francisco...

  4. YES I love the CMA's...such an awesome three hours! And I 100% agree with your about Taylor Swift...she's an amazingly talented girl but I feel like she should have had to wait a few more years for Female Vocalist AND not to mention Entertainer of the Year. I'm sorry, but that shoulda been my Kenny! And you're so right, that performance was NSync at the Burlington Mall all over again!!!
