Award shows don't have the same meaning anymore :(
at least carrie underwood has the pipes to win the awards she does.
Ps. She needs to release Only Prettier. <3
Taylor Swift is not a good representative of country music. Miranda is. Carrie is. Reba is. Martina is.
but i do hate swift.
Carrie better win over Taylor everytime!
I think her music sounds better in the "country" versions though. She was better in her country incarnation as well.
But Reba is hosting. Omg torn </3
i'm looking at you underwood.
