CMT Brings Out The Stars On ‘Artists Of The Year’ Ceremony

He has been named the CMA Male Vocalist of the Year five times.

The performance was part of a tribute to Little Big Town, who were honored as Artists of the Year along with Blake Shelton, Luke Bryan, Florida Georgia Line and Sam Hunt. While accepting the trophy, BRYAN remarked how he never expected to anybody to say “deer urine” on an awards show – which prompted SHELTON to respond, mostly off-mike, “I never expected to hear someone say LUKE BRYAN on an awards show”.

It’s fair to assume Shelton is referencing his very public relationship with Stefani, who recently performed the breakup ballad of the year “Used to Love You” on “The Voice”. This is a great way to end it for me.

Adam Lambert & Leona Lewis will carry outa cover of Little Big Towns hit song Lady Crush, while Darius Rucker might be joined by means of Cassadee Pope & RaeLynn for a quilt of Blake Sheltons Neon Light. She said, “My husband, I always forget to thank him, but he’s my rock”. “I went home and told my mom, ‘That’s what I want to do.’ And so all of you guys that take the stage, just know that some 10 or 11 or 12 year old boy or girl is saying the same thing to their parents”. Kenny Rogers received the Artists of a Lifetime Award. “He has had four albums reach the top of the chart, 15 No. 1 singles in a row”, Trace began.

“Unbelievable”, Stapleton said. “I have to make more speeches, and I am bad at it”.
