CONGRATS!! to Hillary Scott, Dave Haywood and Charles Kelley of Lady Antebellum on their big wins for Vocal Group of the Year and Single of the Year (Need You Now). And to a teary-eyed Brad Paisley who scooped up Entertainer of the Year as well as to his roots-infused performance of This is Country Music.
Another sensation... Miranda Lambert took home THREE CMA trophies for Best Female Vocalist, Album of the Year for Revolution, and a shared win of Video of the Year with Director Trey Fanjoy for The House That Built Me.
"Nobody in country music is more country than Miranda." - Loretta Lynn
Miranda Lambert, Sheryl Crow and Loretta Lynn brought it right back home with Coal Miner's Daughter. Kudos to these three brilliant and beautiful ladies!!!
Keith Urban induced chills with his beautiful rendition of A Little Help from My Friends.
Gwyneth Paltrow is not just about British accents and running the roads in Spain with Mario Batali (Batals). She is indeed Country Strong. Assuming that you saw her debut the single from her new movie last night with Vince Gill, we're certain you noticed that the girl's got pipes... and spirit, let alone amazing style... and a standing ovation. Bravo Gwynny!
A big shout out to all of the sensational performers and performances and congratulations to the 44th Annual CMA Awards winners. CountryNY loves you!!
