When Lauren Alaina won Breakthrough Video of the Year at Wednesday’s CMT Music Awards, she could barely contain her emotions. “I’m not good at this! I don’t know what to do,” the American Idol season 10 runner-up declared. And Lauren was completely starstruck when handed the award. “Reba McEntire just gave me an award, so that’s pretty crazy,” she said.
After running through a few thank yous, in which she acknowledged her fans and the artists who have inspired her, Lauren gushed, “I’m so nervous. I don’t get nervous. I can always talk!”
The she remembered: “Jesus,” she pointed heavenward. “I should have said that first…sorry God!” Watch Lauren Alaina’s sweet acceptance speech here.
A little later in the show, Lauren performed her hit single “Road Less Traveled” as the program went out to commercial. Sorry, the performance is only about 40 seconds long.
