Congratulations to Carrie on her wins (very deserving) and most of all the Carrie fans who are so devoted that they spend hours voting. You guys are the best!!!!!!!
I am surprised no one is talking about Zac Browns acceptance speech last night. As soon as he walked on stage I could tell he was mad and he let the Nashville community have it and I was so here for it!
I wish more of the outsider artists would take a stand. They have started to call out the lack of women in radio but now they need to start addressing the unfairness to certain artists.
I love how happy she was last night! So glad we could get these awards for her.

The problem with Zac Brown though, is he doesn't even seem to be trying to make country music anymore. He said is new album will be genre-less, then gets mad when country doesn't play him. He actively took himself out of country.
Obviously, there are issues with country and not country, but those not making country, saying what they're doing is country are being played. Zac Brown is saying he's not doing country, but wants country play, makes no sense.
Plus, how did they actually win? I didn't even know they had active music released to be considered country.
I listen to Zac Brown because he does NOT make what is considered country music today. In fact, I cast as many votes for him as I did for Carrie in their individual categories. He and Carrie are the best entertainers in the genre, bar none. However, I do not approve of artists using that platform to air their grievances when fans have worked so hard voting to give them the platform. He's certainly not the first, tho.
ZBB gets lots of airplay here in Chicago. Their song “My Old Man” is still bring played even after the release of “Roots”. I don’t understand the frustration.
Congratulations Carrie on your 19th AND 20th CMT wins!!
It's not the issue with their previously released country music, because it was definitely country, and among the best being made at its time, but recently it has been strange, bad music, which he supposedly recently said is genre-less. He can't be mad at the establishment, when he actively took himself out of not only the establishment but out of the genre itself.
Still so happy for Carrie! Now if only we could vote for the CMA's....They better at least open their eyes (and ears) for EOTY this year! Carrie all the wayyy
Most viewed performance on the CMT's You Tube Channel.
She made all the best dressed lists too. She’s always so impeccably dressed to fit every occasion and she and Mike were adorable. Hope Mike LOVES his two birthday presents!
Congrats to Carrie on her 20 CMT Award wins! She is the Meryl Streep of the CMTs! That seems like an unbreakable record!
Carrie performance for Southbound slayed. I'm so happy for Carrie winning Female Video Of The Year for Love Wins and Video Of The Year for Cry Pretty. Her speeches are always so sincere and the best. Carrie looked so gorgeous in her outfits.
Agree. I love ZacBB, and I don't care that he cursed on tv. There was a reason for it, and I get it. They get snubbed at award shows alot just like Carrie, but they are very talented and very popular.
Their tour sells out huge venues all over- and it is a great show. They are snubbed bu CMAS and ACMS all the time, though Grammys do like them.
Zac once said that he won't play the back room dealing political games that it takes to win awards in country music, and i respect them for that. He wants to win honestly, on merit, and not the way WME and other backroom deals are done.
He was snubbed long before his experimental album. When he released such a great swong like My Old Man, etc- it deserved recognition as that was clearly a country song. Grammys nominated it, but not the country establishment.
Their recent music is not bad. It just doesn't fit with bro country crap. Their performance last night was excellent.
