CMA Awards

Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood are hosting the CMA Awards for the seventh time this year, and Paisley is hoping to spice things up in the monologue.

Can you believe Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood will be hosting the CMA Awards for the 7th time this year? Neither can they.  Remember how it started?  Take a look back with Brad and Carrie in a hilarious new commercial for country music's biggest night.

Dierks Bentley is nominated for five CMA Awards, including one for Male Vocalist of the Year, making him the top male nominee. But of all his nominations -- which also include ones for Song of the Year, Single of the Year and Music Video of the Year -- he says it's the Album of the Year nod for his No.1 album 'Riser,' which was released earlier this year, that means the most to him.

The Eli Young Band are nominated once again for a CMA Award for Vocal Group of the Year, a category they've been named in every year since 2012 but have yet to win. But the four-man group says being nominated really is validation enough.

It's been quite a year for George Strait. The country music superstar wrapped up his sold-out farewell The Cowboy Rides Away Tour, starred in a two-hour TV special, 'George Strait: The Cowboy Rides Away' and will release his live album, 'The Cowboy Rides Away: Live from AT&T Stadium.' He's also nominated for his 83rd CMA Award, for Entertainer of the Year, capping off one of the most memorable years of his career.

Brandy Clark is a happy woman. The singer-songwriter received two CMA Awards nominations, for New Artist of the Year and Song of the Year for Kacey Musgraves' 'Follow Your Arrow.'

The 2014 CMA Awards nominees have been announced!

The 2013 CMA Awards drew the biggest audience in four years! The three-hour Nov. 6 broadcast brought 16.6 million people that tuned in to see a night full of country music's biggest stars.

What do George Strait, Keith Urban, Rascal Flatts, Brad Paisley and Tim McGraw and Faith Hill all have in common?  They all had Taylor Swift open their concerts.  And they all took the stage at the CMA Awards to present her with the Pinnacle Award.  An award given to a country artist who's had national and international success.

No one was safe at the CMA Awards as Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood opened the show by taking shots at Luke Bryan, Zac Brown, Blake Shelton and even the President.

The CMA Awards are about so much more than the awards. The show was packed with great entertainment again this year, including a touching tribute to the late George Jones from George Strait and Alan Jackson. Here's our top performances of the night.

Most of the artists who make the 2013 CMA Awards Worst Dressed list would have benefitted from a quick look in the mirror before stepping out. "Disheveled" is how one could describe a few of these five stars. Suits that don't fit and gowns fit for a first trip to your future mother-in-law's house get noticed for all the wrong reasons. Please, don't try this at home.
