If you missed the CMA's last night, you missed a good show. Here are the winners from this year's event:
- Entertainer of the Year: Kenny Chesney
- Song of The Year: "Give it Away" - Bill Anderson and Jamey Johnson
- Single of The Year: "Before He Cheats" - Carrie Underwood
- Album of the Year: "It Just Comes Natural" - George Strait
- Male Vocalist of the Year: Brad Paisley
- Female Vocalist of the Year: Carrie Underwood
- Vocal Duo of the Year: Sugarland
- Vocal Group of the Year: Rascal Flatts
- Musician of the Year: Jerry Douglas
- Horizon Award: Taylor Swift
- Musical Event of the Year: Tracy Lawrence with Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw "Find Out Who Your Friends Are"
- Music Video of the Year: "Online" - Brad Paisley
However, I was very surprised that Taylor Swift won the Horizon Award. Don't get me wrong, I really like Taylor and she has had a great year, but she beat out Rodney Atkins, who has had three #1 singles in a row and another song that's headed up the charts right now. That feat alone should have won Rodney the award.
The biggest surprise of the night to me though was Sugarland beating out Brooks & Dunn and Montgomery Gentry for Vocal Duo of the Year. I was sure Brooks & Dunn were going to win it again this year, but Jennifer and Kristian pulled off the upset and they were thrilled to say the least. I was so proud of the hometown duo!
Lastly, I can't help but wonder why Tim McGraw, Faith Hill and Toby Keith were not nominated and weren't even asked to perform on this year's show. These three country music superstars have had a great year and definitely deserved a nomination at the very least.
I enjoyed the show, but I have to say that I enjoy the CMT Video Awards show much better. What about you?
