“We’ve had an important year in nation music,” stated Reba McEntire as she took the stage of Las Vegas’ MGM Grand Backyard Area, adding, “a lot of songs about cowboy Casanovas, white liars and two-timin’ males – and I might like to thank Jesse James and Tiger Woods for inspiring us all.”
The crimson headed host didn’t hesitate to place the boot into Larry King as well, quipping that the ceremony had gone inexperienced, using paper made from the talk present host’s recycled divorce documents.
But it wasn’t only McEntire spreading the laughs. Brooks and Dunn, who announced last August they’d be splitting up, quipped that they had been “presently in remedy with Brett Favre trying to figure out how one can waffle on retirement.”
The large winners of the night time were Nashville triptych Woman Antebellum (Hillary Scott, Charles Kelley and Dave Haywood). The 4-year-old nation group kicked veterans Rascal Flatts out of the CMA prime spot to win single of the year, track of the year and top vocal group.
Best song of the night time went to Brad Paisely (despite Taylor Swift’s makes an attempt) performing a guitar solo for “Water” and then falling into a tub filled with the water.
Actor Matthew McCoonaughey was available to award him top male vocalist.
“Can I borrow you shirt?” Paisley requested the “Ghosts of Girlfriends Previous” star, nonetheless moist from his act. “You are used to not carrying one.”
McConaughey also handed “American Idol” alum Carrie Underwood a pair of trainers upon her request last year. The Oklahoma native gained Entertainer of the Year for the second time in two years, changing into the first lady to win the accolade greater than once.
Top female vocalist went to Miranda Lambert, or “Boobs McGee” as her guitar player christened her, who wore a sparkling plunging blue gown.
Grammy Award winner Taylor Swift was conspicuously missed by CMA voters, however it was not for want of trying. After being suspended over the gang in a white robe for her performance of “Change,” she swan dived into the viewers in a very choreographed stunt wherein she was caught, not by the gang, but her own entourage.
It was Laura Bell Bundy who stole Swift’s thunder. After dropping from the rafters in a giant horseshow, the Broadway alum, who carried out “Giddy On Up,” was the perfect at holding a tune and wiggling at the same time.
