CMA Hoedown A Hit
It was all about the country last night on ABC, and as we're getting used to reporting, Taylor Swift rocked the big night.
She had it in her to "thank every single person in this room tonight for not running up on the stage during this speech" after winning Female Vocalist, but the big win left her plain teary. "Everything I ever wanted has just happened to me," she gushed, before calling up her band to share the honor on Entertainer of the Year. Sugarland tried to make their own invite to the stage when they won Best Vocal Duo, hoping to honor the separated Brooks and Dunn, but they declined the offer. An odd moment, for sure. Mac McAnally took the stage for the other biggee of the night, Musician of the Year, and Lady Antebellum also faired well, taking home Vocal Group of the Year and Single of the Year. As if the honor of beating out Brad Paisley, Jamey Johnson, Billy Currington and Zac Brown Band wasn't enough, they got one of their awards from country boy at heart, Kid Rock. Darius Rucker isn't new to the stage, as the former frontman for Hootie and the Blowfish, but with his breakout in country, he was tapped New Artist of the Year. Song of the Year also went a little less mainstream, with Jamey Johnson winning for In Color. Co-Host Brad Paisley nabbed Male Vocalist of the Year and shared Musical Event of the Year with Keith Urban for Start a Band, but he also earned massive applause for his performance of Welcome to the Future. He and his partner in crime Carrie Underwood also earned best giggle of the night with their rendition of, Mama, Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be Kanye. Underwood didn't take home any official awards, but country's number one seller of the moment stole the night with a super sexy performance of her hit Cowboy Casanova. That's an impressive statement, considering what a tasty night of country this was. Yeeha indeed! CMA winners!Entertainer of the Year: Taylor Swift
