<h3>The 45th Annual CMA Awards, Did They Hit Or Miss?</h3>
<p>Well another year of the <strong><a title="CMA Awards" href="https://countrymusicontour.com/cma-awards-tickets-pre-sale-starts-now/">CMA Awards</a> </strong>is over and done with. To be honest it wasn&#8217;t what I was expecting, I guess I had my hopes a little high. I think the winners of the night were a shock to many and the performances as well. With that being said, congrats to all.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m just going to give a quick rundown of the highlights of my night&#8230;</p>
<p>I loved <strong><a title="Brad Paisley" href="https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/1224809/264167/4272?subId1=WPScmnbBPaisley&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Fbrad-paisley-tickets%2Fartist%2F714837&partnerpropertyid=5213910&MediaPartnerPropertyId=5213910">Brad Paisley</a></strong> and <strong><a title="Carrie Underwood" href="https://countrymusicontour.com/carrie-underwood-tour-dates/">Carrie Underwood</a>&#8217;s </strong>intro! Every year it supplies me with enough laughs for 3 days! The <strong><a title="Tim McGraw" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSTMcGraw/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Ftim-mcgraw-tickets%2F">Tim McGraw</a> </strong>and <strong>Faith Hill </strong>dolls were hilarious and <strong>Hank Jr</strong>. made an appearance that I&#8217;m sure made some people angry, but I found quite comical! <strong><a title="Keith Urban" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSKUrban/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fkeith-urban-tickets%2F">Keith Urban</a>&#8217;s</strong> performance was not what I&#8217;m use to from him, but we definitely wouldn&#8217;t want him to overdo it with his surgery coming up. I really do love that song of his though, &#8220;<em>You Gonna Fly</em>!&#8221;</p>
<p><strong><a title="Miranda Lambert" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSMLambert/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fmiranda-lambert-tickets%2F">Miranda Lambert</a> </strong>paid tribute to her &#8220;<em>Kerosene&#8221;</em> days when she had fire during her performance of &#8220;<em>Baggage Claim</em>!&#8221; I thoroughly enjoyed <strong><a title="Eric Church" href="https://countrymusicontour.com/eric-church-tour-dates/">Eric Church</a> </strong>and <strong><a title="Chris Young" href="https://countrymusicontour.com/chris-young-concert-tour-tickets/">Chris Young</a>&#8217;s </strong>performances with their current singles.</p>
<p>BUT&#8230;by far the best performance of the night was <strong><a title="Martina McBride" href="https://countrymusicontour.com/martina-mcbride-concert-tour-dates/">Martina McBride</a></strong>! Her song, &#8220;<em>I&#8217;m Gonna Love You Through It</em>&#8221; is such a touching song that gives me chills each time I hear it. Her voice to go along with the lyrics made it beyond amazing!</p>
<p>Each time the camera showed <strong><a title="Reba" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSReba/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Freba-mcentire-tickets%2F">Reba</a> McIntire </strong>she looked stunning! She looked like she was really enjoying her evening and very happy for each artist who won. She is such a classy lady and I wished we could have seen more of her!</p>
<p>They couldn&#8217;t of done a more perfect tribute to <strong>Glen Campbell</strong>! They picked the right people to honor him and it was so touching. I&#8217;m not going to lie&#8230;I teared up a little.</p>
<p>There were 3 awards that I 100% agreed with and they were <strong>Album Of The Year</strong>, <strong>Male Vocalist </strong>and <strong>Female Vocalist Of The Year</strong>. <strong>My Kinda Party </strong>has done great things and definitely deserved that recognition! The newlyweds (<strong><a title="Blake Shelton" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSBlakeS/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fblake-shelton-tickets%2F">Blake Shelton</a> </strong>and <a title="Miranda Lambert" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSMLambert/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fmiranda-lambert-tickets%2F">Miranda Lambert</a>) both winning for the second year in a row was priceless, both genuinely deserved this award!</p>
<p>I sure did miss seeing people like <strong><a title="Alan Jackson" href="https://ticketmaster.evyy.net/c/1224809/264167/4272?subId1=WPScmnbAJackson&u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ticketmaster.com%2Falan-jackson-tickets%2Fartist%2F769574&partnerpropertyid=5213910&MediaPartnerPropertyId=5213910">Alan Jackson</a> </strong>and <strong><a title="George Strait" href="https://stubhub.prf.hn/click/camref:1100ljXyr/pubref:WPSStrait/ar:CMNBAutoLink/destination:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.stubhub.com%2Fgeorge-strait-tickets%2F">George Strait</a></strong>. Were they not there or the camera people just didn&#8217;t show them? I&#8217;m not sure, but they were greatly missed!</p>
<p>Again, congratulations to all the winners and everyone who was involved in the huge event in <strong>Nashville</strong>!</p>
