41st annual Country Music Awards - Taylor Swift Steals the Show

So Rascal Flatts has already won best group video of the year at the CMT Music Awards. And since they are by far my favorite group I think that is pretty exciting news.

A past American Idol contestant, Kellie Pickler, has won Breakthrough Video of the Year which she contributes to having been on American Idol.

LeAnn Rimes and Bon Jovi have won for Collaborative Video of the Year. Go them! But what the heck was she wearing?

I'll update this post as I learn more. =o)

How can Faith Hill still look gorgeous pregnant? =o) She does, she's beaming, she's funny, she's just perfect!

Taylor Swift just won best female video for "Our Song!"

Billy Ray just had the crowd all pumped up with a standing ovation in support of our troops and now Brad Paisely is performing. *sigh*

Faith Hill and Tim McGraw announced the best "Wide Open Country Video" and even though I'm not sure what that means I can tell you Alison Krauss and Robert Plant won.

Reba McEntire announced the hotness of the male video of the year nominees Keith Urban, Kenny Chesney, Brad Paisely, Trace Adkins and Toby Keith. The winner being Trace Adkins with his song "I Got My Game On." (Side note: speaking of Keith Urban, his wife Nicole Kidman was there of course, looking stunning in red but still not showing much of a baby bump.)

Taylor Swift is performing now. She's also gorgeous. Maybe it's a country thang. =o)

Toby Keith is on stage now performing his smashing hit "She's a hottie." I actually have no idea what the song is called but those words are in it.

Duo Video of the Year nominees were Big & Rich, Brooks & Dunn, Sugarland and Montgomery Gentry. I'm partial to Big & Rich because it was Brian and mine's wedding song, but Sugarland won with their song "Stay."

Kenny Chesney on stage now. Every time I see him he looks thinner. Does he eat? Does he work out? Either way he's still sounds awesome.

And now for the BIG award, Country Music Video of the Year OVERALL...goes to....
TAYLOR SWIFT WITH "OUR SONG!"

And in her excitement she thanks MySpace. lol. But $5,000 is going to St. Jude's Hospital for Children because that is who she chose. CMT is giving over $80,000 tonight to charities all chosen by the artists. That rocks!!!

Carrie Underwood had the final performance and I have to say along with sounding fantastic, she looked so cute in that dress! And the purple glitter mic is wicked awesome! P.S. I want that dress!
