Carrie Underwood – CMT Artists of the Year

Carrie Underwood was in tears as she accepted her award from Randy Travis as one of CMT’s Artists of The Year. In a taped tribute, Ryan Seacrest remembered Carrie’s initial audition and called her “friend.”

The 90 minute special, which debuted tonight on CMT, feted 5 country artists, including Carrie,  Zac Brown Band, Lady Antebellum, Jason Aldean and Taylor Swift.

After an introduction by Smokey Robinson, who praised her talent, Carrie closed the show with a medley of her three big hits from 2010, “Cowboy Casanova”, “Temporary Home” and “Undo It”.
