UMG Nashville At The 2014 CMA Awards

It’s been a full 24 hours and we’re still buzzing from last nights star-studded CMA’s! The show was full of laughs, surprises, and most of all, killer performances. Little Big Town’s collaboration with Ariana Grande literally lit up the stage, mixing musical genres with ease. Their win for Vocal Group of the year made the night even sweeter. Luke Bryan showed us why he deserved his first CMA for Entertainer of the Year with a rousing performance of ‘Rollercoaster,’ Dierks Bentley sang his Music Video of the Year winning ‘Drunk On A Plane.’

The night was also full of collaborations, both old and new. Keith Urban took home a trophy for Musical Event of the Year for his work with Miranda Lambert before performing his hit song, ‘Somewhere In My Car‘. Lady Antebellum tore up the stage with their #1 hit ‘Bartender‘ while George Strait sang ‘Cowboys Like Us‘ with special guest, Eric Church.  Song of the Year winner Kacey Musgraves brought out country legend Loretta Lynn and the moment of the night belonged to a teary eyed Vince Gill, who took home the Irving Waugh Award of Excellence.

So the count down begins! The 2015 CMA Awards will be here before you know it!
