Wieder einmal fanden in der Bridgestone Arena in Nashville TN die alljährlichen CMA Awards statt - heuer zum 48ten Mal. Das Erfolgsmoderatorenduo Carrie Underwood und Brad Paisley führte wie immer souverän und unterhaltsam durch die mehrstündige Gala. Gespickt mir mehreren Live-Performances der Stars, und gewürzt mit dem Witz von Carrie und Brad war es ein kurzweiliger und unterhaltsamer Abend in Nashville.
