One of the best things about the CMA Awards are the surprises, and “The 51st Annual CMA Awards” has more unexpected collaborations to share as another round of superstar performances are announced for the Wednesday, Nov. 8 (8-11 PM ET), live broadcast from Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on the ABC Television Network.

Tim McGraw and Faith Hill, P!NK, and Keith Urban will perform on this year’s Awards, and an unprecedented opening collaboration will feature Eric Church, Lady Antebellum, Darius Rucker, Keith Urban and more. Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood will co-host The Awards for the 10th consecutive year.

Hill and McGraw are among Country Music’s most nominated couples and “Speak to a Girl” marks the sixth time they’ve been nominated together for a CMA in the Vocal Event of the Year and Musical Event of the Year categories since 1997’s “It’s Your Love,” which they won. The couple has 61 nominations combined, with McGraw winning 11 times, including the 2001 Entertainer of the Year. Hill has three victories.

Grammy Award-winning pop star P!NK is nominated for a CMA Award for the first time this year. She’s up for Musical Event of the Year for her “Setting the World on Fire” duet with Kenny Chesney, and just released her new album Beautiful Trauma, which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard chart this week.

Urban is a 10-time CMA Awards winner, including the 2005 Entertainer of the Year Award, and has been nominated 45 times since 2001 – one of the most consistent streaks of nominations over that time. He’s up for four awards this year, including Entertainer of the Year again.

Church is a rare two-time winner of the prestigious Album of the Year Award for CHIEF and Mr. Misunderstood. He’s been nominated 25 times since 2011, and is up for three awards this year, including Entertainer of the Year for the second time.

The trio of Dave Haywood, Charles Kelley and Hillary Scott have won seven CMA Awards, starting with New Artist of the Year in 2008. The trio also has taken Single of the Year twice and Vocal Group of the Year three times. Lady A is up for two Awards this year, including Album of the Year for Heart Break.

One of pop music’s most popular figures for more than two decades, Rucker won New Artist of the Year in 2009 and has performed at The CMA Awards multiple times since.

Performers previously announced for the Nov. 8 Awards include duet partners Kelsea Ballerini & Reba McEntire, Dierks Bentley & Rascal Flatts, Maren Morris & Niall Horan, Brad Paisley & Kane Brown as well as Garth Brooks, Brothers Osborne, Luke Bryan, Miranda Lambert, Little Big Town, Old Dominion, Jon Pardi, Chris Stapleton, Thomas Rhett and Carrie Underwood.

Winners of “The 51st Annual CMA Awards” are determined by eligible voting CMA members. Ballots are tabulated by the professional services organization Deloitte & Touche LLP.

CMT Music Awards: Recap and Winners

By on June 6, 2013 in Special Events

CMT Awards

Hosted by Jason Aldean and Kristen Bell, the CMT Music Awards rocked Bridgestone arena last week. Florida Georgia Line continued their week of success with two buckles, even though this was their first official time at the awards. Bonified superstar Miranda Lambert also walked away with two, but it was Carrie Underwood who came away with the top prize of the night.

And since awards themselves have taken a backseat to performances during these broadcasts, CMT made sure they didn’t disappoint in that area either. Aldean opened the show with rockstar Lenny Kravitz, Keith Urban joined Little Big Town for a fantastic version of “The Chain” by Fleetwood Mac, and Florida Georgia Line closed the show with their smash “Cruise” complete with an appearance from Nelly. Other performances included Carrie Underwood, Darius Rucker, Hunter Hayes, Kacey Musgraves, Lady Antebellum, Luke Bryan and Taylor Swift. Additionally, Ashley Monroe, The Voice winner Cassadee Pope, Dustin Lynch, American Idol runner-up Kree Harrison, Love and Theft and Randy Houser appeared on the Nationwide Insurance stage.

Yes, technical issues were a little pervasive, and yes, some people have trouble making reading teleprompers sound even remotely authentic (Jason Aldean), but it’s tough to argue with a party like this one. Below is the full list of nominees and winners:
