Country Music Shines At 45th Annual CMA Awards

The Band Perry

The 45th Annual CMA AWARDS show is now in the history books. "Country's Biggest Night," as it is called, was broadcast on ABC-TV "live" from NASHVILLE 's BRIDGESTONE ARENA last night (11/9). 

The night's biggest winners included THE BAND PERRY, who picked up the "Best New Artist" award, plus "Single Of The Year" and "Song Of The Year," for the KIMBERLY PERRY-penned "If I Die Young."

"I believe this song would've been written with or without me. It was a song meant to be here," said KIMBERLY PERRY. "I'm just excited to have had a pen and paper in hand when this song came to earth."

The coveted "Entertainer Of The Year" award went to TAYLOR SWIFT, the second time the 21-year-old won the big award. "Male Vocalist Of The Year" was picked up by BLAKE SHELTON and "Female Vocalist Of The Year" went to his wife, MIRANDA LAMBERT.
