CMA Awards 2012

The CMA awards is just amazing tonight! Top pick for the performance of the night definitely goes to Taylor Swift debut performance of Begin Again. Settings is crazy! It is just beautiful! To those who thinks that Swift has not have the "country" in her any more with her latest album! I think that performance just give them a big slap in the face! Kelly Clarkson and Vince Gill are also Class Acts at the CMA awards too tonight.

Most of country’s top stars were on hand at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena for the celebration, with many slated to perform. Taylor Swift arrived in a detailed red and nude lace dress to some of the night’s loudest cheers and mingled with fans who made signs to draw her attention. Art imitated life as stars from the new drama "Nashville" like Hayden Panetierre mingled with the folks they mimic, drawing just as many screams. And many stars reflected on the tragedy brought by Superstorm Sandy.

Co-hosts Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley kicked off the show with a country version of Maroon 5’s Moves Like Jagger, ”We got moves like Haggard." They did their own version of Psy’s Gangnam Style and riffed on Swift’s hit single "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together," noting she is rumored to have recently broken up with boyfriend Conor Kennedy.

When Underwood informed him of the news they were unlikely to get back together, he asked: "Never?" Underwood responded, "Ever," and the two played verbal hot potato for a few seconds before Paisley ended the joke by saying, "Maybe Taylor will write a song about it."

They also poked a little fun at the night’s honored guest, Willie Nelson, who was due to receive a lifetime achievement award and perform with Tim McGraw, Faith Hill, Lady Antebellum and Blake Shelton.
