She's more than welcome to the 1 award she's nominated for

I'm sure her and Brad's hosting will live up to their usual standards though

I'm not a huge fan of country, but for some reason, the awards always interest me.

I cant at Glen Campbell getting a tribute and not reba, who was inducting into the country music hall of fame this year, even barbara mandrell and she hasn't been relevant since the 1980s, ridiculous tbh.

Out of the nominees i hope sara wins FVOTY and single of the year (or If i die young) and Keith Urban wins MVOTY.

Thompson Square and The Band Perry deserve the awards for Vocal duo and Vocal group.

It probably has something to do with the fact that Reba still has years left to her career, whereas Glenn Campbell is retiring soon and has some disease (Alzheimer's, I think).

Taylor for the AOTY and EOTY. These CMA bitches/dudes better get it right.

Taylor deserves probably every award she is up for besides Female Vocalist tonight but I have faith that she will win the two awards you just brought up.

Sept

Brad Paisley (feat. Carrie Underwood)- Remind Me

for real?

Mezik

Too be quite honest.. I don't think Carrie is going to win anything this year because Mama's Song wasn't that big of a hit & she stayed out of the limelight for most of the year. I do think if Taylor is to take home EOTY any year.. this would be the year she takes it since she was HUGE this year. For female vocalist if it were any other year.. Carrie would take it, but like I said she was quiet this year so I don't think a win is coming her way. Here are my predictions though,
