Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood hosted the CMA Awards for the sixth time Wednesday night on CBS.
Besides Carrie, several other singing show stars turned out for the event, including former Idol champs Kelly Clarkson and Scotty McCreery, former Voice winner Cassadee Pope, American Idol judge Keith Urban and, of course, Voice judge Blake Shelton.
The show also featured Carrie singing a medley of hits from her “Blown Away” album and the presentation of a Pinnacle Award for career achievement to Taylor Swift — at the tender age of 23.
