Famous humanitarian Taylor Swift rocks Country Music Awards

All grown up and everywhere to go. Celebrity teen singing sensation Taylor Swift rocked the 2011 Country Music Awards singing, “This love is ours…” while perched on a homey stage set up to look like a living room. The green celeb and famous blonde received 5 awards nominations and did a great job performing live. The only blondes of the night at the CMA Awards who got more attention were the awards show co-host Carrie Underwood (a former American Idol star) and Muppets movie star Miss Piggy (who karate chopped CMA host Brad Paisley when he made a pass at her and suggested they went together like bacon and eggs).

CMT Awards: Shania Twain spills, Biebs and Keith Urban gives fans chills

2011 CMT Awards!

Shania Twain spills, Biebs and Keith Urban gives fan chills?

[Jun. 10]

The CMT Music Awards was a night to remember for sure with a list of stars so savory you could just sop ‘em up with a biscuit. The list included Big and Rich, Rascal Flatts, Lady Antebellum, The Band Perry, Lee Brice, Colt Ford, Hunter Hayes, the JaneDear Girls, Thompson Square and CMT’s Next Superstar finalists Matt Mason and Steven Clawson (just to name a few) for performances on the Nationwide Insurance stage. In addition, the company bestowed the Nationwide Insurance On Your Side Award to country music’s best new live act as determined by the fans. Nominees were Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Colt Ford, The Band Perry and Josh Thompson. NASCAR driver and Nationwide Insurance customer Dale Earnhardt Jr. revealed the winner, The Band Perry. The whole night was full of surprises for country music fans — and delighted anyone who already had a celebrity crush on Hollywood icons like Shania Twain, Gen Me star the Biebs, or Keith Urban. The 2011 CMT Music Awards show kicked off the night with a surprise duet between Wynonna Judd and Kid Rock but that’s not the only surprise the show had in store for us hard-core country fans. Shania Twain may have wanted to say, “I’m Outta Here!” after the fall she took coming on stage. One minute she was strutting her stuff and a second later she was sprawled, legs apart on the floor. Although Shania managed to pull herself up, the grimace on her face during her presentation left me with the impression that she really didn’t quite “Feel Like a Woman” after all that.

Sugarland band waived humanitarian LOVE flag on CMT?

[Jun. 9]

Sugarland band members Jennifer Nettles and Kristian Busch were honored by their loyal fans when they were named the recipients of this year’s Duo Video of the Year at the 2011 CMT Music Awards show last night in Nashville. But they really brought the crowd to their feet as they offered one of the most inspiring performances of the evening singing their anthem Stand Up. Nettles and Busch walked onto the stage carrying a large white flag and began their song as the crowd went wild. The harmonious duo continued to sing as they welcomed Tiffani and Lexi Gilbert, two young sisters from Joplin, Mo., whose home was destroyed during a recent tornado. Graphic photographs showing the devastation left behind loomed in the background as the sisters took center stage and Jennifer Nettles handed them the simple, hand-made, white flag with the single word “LOVE” written on it. The sisters waved the flag along with a smaller version while the audience waved similar flags in unison. It was an emotional and uplifting scene to say the least. And the message was loud and clear, “won’t you stand up and use your voice”.
