CMT aired its 2012 Artists Of The Year show last night, a non-competitive celebration of the year’s biggest country acts. Carrie was honored for the 2nd time by the show (this is its 3rd year), and performed “Two Black Cadillacs” at the show. Check out video, which features the likes of her husband Mike Fisher and fellow country star Miranda Lambert singing along and the night’s only post-performance standing ovation from the mostly industry crowd:

The full CMT Artists Of The Year show was hosted by Hayden Panettiere and Rascal Flatts and also featured performances by Toby Keith, Miranda Lambert, Eric Church, Kacey Musgraves with Eli Young Band, Luke Bryan with Ryan Tedder, and Jason Aldean. The full Carrie segment includes a nice introduction by Hunter Hayes, a cute presentation by Mike Fisher, and great compliments from the night’s fellow honorees, a nice segment of the show for every honoree. Check out the full episode here (Carrie’s part starts around the 36 minute mark).

    Windmills, I have always thought that the proclamation that Taylor Swift brought more fans to Country Music was flat out false. Taylor Swift has Taylor Swift fans & they don’t give a rip about Country music or anyone in the genre. If, Taylor was so prominent in Country Music, then why did her friend Kelli Pickler not sell a gazillion albums while touting with Taylor? Sorry, Taylor & her fans are all about Taylor & the sooner she leaves the Country stage the better I’ll like it.
