Earlier in the broadcast, Carrie accepted Female Video of the Year for “Love Wins” and said: “Thank you so much fans. Shane Drake, thank you so much for making this video special and beautiful and wonderful,” she said. And because it was her husband Mike Fisher’s birthday, she told him, “Look what they got you!”
Additionally The night was full of several exciting collaborations, including ones focusing on powerful female voices: Brandi Carlile and the legendary Tanya Tucker sang Tucker’s classic hit, “Delta Dawn,” with vocal backing provided by an all-star group of female artists that included Trisha Yearwood, Martina McBride, Deana Carter, Lauren Alaina and RaeLynn.
