After casting actress Angie Harmon to play the lead in his ‘This Ole Boy’ video, we starting wondering if Craig Morgan is only using his hit singles to share the camera beautiful women. And now it sounds like we might be right! For his latest single, ‘Corn Star,’ Morgan has his sights set on southern gal Kristin Chenoweth to star in the music video.
Thanks to a hip-shaking performance at the CMA awards, Luke Bryan caught the attention of fellow country stars Lady Antebellum. Lady A’s Charles Kelley voiced his opinion that the ‘Drunk on You’ singer should be the next country celeb to take the stage on ‘Dancing With the Stars.’
From the start, Carrie Underwood was never shy about her personal beliefs, especially when releasing her single, ‘Jesus Take the Wheel’ in the early part of her career. The song went on to become a powerful smash in country music, landing the ‘American Idol’ winner her first chart-topping hit.
June 7, 2012 Nobody dominated at last night's "CMT Music Awards" . . . although CARRIE UNDERWOOD did take home two buckles . . . including Video of the Year for "Good Girl".
And the forced pairing of TOBY KEITH and KRISTEN BELL as co-hosts didn't cut it, but only because Toby looked bored
The 2012 CMT Music Awards began with a batch of country and pop collaborations before settling into a Nashville-based broadcast, featuring Music City’s best. Rascal Flatts closed the show with one of the all-time greatest mainstream rock bands however, inviting Journey on stage to sing ‘Don’t Stop Believin’.’
Right after performing ‘Good Girl,’ the gilded goddess Carrie Underwood returned to the stage to pick up her award for Video of the Year at the 2012 CMT Music Awards tonight (June 6). Country legend Alan Jackson, who revealed that he has made 54 music videos over the course of his career and pointed out the importance of the medium, presented Underwood with her buckle for the biggest award of the evening.
Luke Bryan nabbed the buckle for Male Video of the Year at the 2012 CMT Music Awards for his cinematic clip for ‘I Don’t Want This Night to End.’ The ever-excitable singer bounded up on the stage to accept his honor as though he just downed a case of Red Bull.
Before Eric Church took the stage to perform his No. 1 single ‘Drink in My Hand’ at the 2012 CMT Music Awards, Big Kenny and John Rich introduced the singer from the middle of a screaming crowd outside the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. The quirky duo joked that the entire performance line-up at the CMT Music Awards felt kind of like a drinking game. Still, they toasted red solo cups to Eric Church, and he busted out a crowd favorite song.
Lady Antebellum picked up the buckle for Group Video of the Year for ‘We Owned the Night’ at the 2012 CMT Music Awards. First, they open the show with a mashup and then they nab an award at the midpoint! It turned out to be a good night for Lady A.
The 2012 CMT Music Awards are a great place to debut new material — after all, there are thousands of country mega-fans in attendance, and thousands more sitting at home watching. That’s what Kenny Chesney must have been thinking when he played his debut live performance of ‘Come Over,’ the second single off of his upcoming album ‘Welcome to the Fishbowl.’
Toby Keith, Zac Brown Band, Jamey Johnson, Darius Rucker and Willie Nelson all have one thing in common: country music (Hey — if there’s something else, we don’t know about it). The country supergroup took the stage halfway through the 2012 CMT Music Awards to perform Nelson’s ‘Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die.’
There’s been a lot of speculation about Kristen Bell hosting the 2012 CMT Music Awards because, after all, she’s a whole lotta Hollywood and just not very much country. But the adorable blonde host started out the night by flexing her country music knowledge muscles, when she pointed out Miranda Lambert, Blake Shelton, Darius Rucker and Gary LeVox of Rascal Flatts. Later on, she proved that she can sing country music, too, when she sang her very own verse to Pistol Annies‘ ‘Hell on Heels.’
