Carrie Underwood a triple winner at CMT Music Awards
New mom Carrie Underwood came out on top at the 2015 CMT Music Awards after nabbing three trophies on Wednesday night (10Jun15).
The country star made her first public appearance at the TV network's annual prizegiving since giving birth to her first child, son Isaiah, in February (15), and her return proved triumphant, as she earned three awards, including Video of the Year for Something in the Water.
Upon winning her second honor for Female Video of the Year for the
same video, Underwood said, "This is my first show since little
Isaiah has been in the world. He's probably napping on the bus
right now, but I should definitely say that he has already inspired
me so much, as well as my husband Mike (Fisher). Thank you
guys!"
Underwood, who took the stage to perform her song Little Toy Guns
for the first time on TV, also earned the Collaborative Video of
the Year prize for her duet, Somethin' Bad, with Miranda
Lambert.
Meanwhile, Luke Bryan claimed Male Video of the Year for Play It
Again, Lady Antebellum earned Group Video of the Year for
Bartender, and Florida Georgia Line scored the Duo Video of the
Year accolade for Dirt.
Newcomer Sam Hunt won Breakthrough Video of the Year for his track
Leave the Night On, while CMT Performance of the Year went to Bob
Seger and Jason Aldean for Turn the Page from CMT Crossroads: Bob
Seger and Jason Aldean.
The ceremony also included a number of star-studded performances,
with Lady Antebellum kicking off the prizegiving with an unexpected
duet with dance DJ Zedd, while other artists including Reba
McEntire, Bryan, Florida Georgia Line, Jason Aldean, and Keith
Urban also hit the stage.
The event was co-hosted by Pitch Perfect actress Brittany Snow and
U.S. TV personality Erin Andrews and held at the Bridgestone Arena
in Nashville, Tennessee.
