Sara Evans was a knock-out in her all black outfit as she emerged from smoke rising from the stage, singing the opening notes of her No. 1 smash ‘A Little Bit Stronger’ during the 2011 CMA Awards.
After Blake Shelton performed his theatrical opening version of ‘Footloose’ and the Band Perry claimed the first award of the night with their single ‘If I Die Young,’ Keith Urban brought Bridgestone Arena to its feet with ‘You Gonna Fly.’
The Band Perry siblings were all grins as they accepted the 2011 CMA Award for Single of the Year for the song ‘If I Die Young.’
The 2011 CMA Awards began with one of the best laughs and biggest surprises in recent years when Hank Williams Jr. crept up on Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood, who were busy making fun of him and his ‘Monday Night Football’ scandal. The co-hosts went right after Bocephus, with a spoof of his hit song ‘Family Tradition.’

Any event that gets Brad Paisley to put on a suit and tie must be a pretty big deal, but Paisley wasn’t the only star to drop his country duds for the annual ASCAP Country Music Awards in Nashville on Sunday night. Keith Urban, Lee Ann Womack, Josh Turner and Dierks Bentley — all seen in these pictures — were among the artists who took in the show from the Gaylord Opryland Resort and Convention Center in Nashville.
The 2011 American Country Awards on Fox is quickly becoming another must watch live television broadcast. Top country talents like Blake Shelton, Pistol Annies and Trace Adkins are on the early list of performers. With over a month to go before the Dec. 5 ceremony, more names are sure to be announced.
Brad Paisley are Carrie Underwood are facing some downright nasty competition (if one believes they are truly competing for their jobs as CMA co-hosts). In the just released commercial for the November 9 broadcast, Miss Piggy throws open the audition room door and proclaims the job hers.
For Faith Hill fans, it’s been a long four-year wait for new material. Her most recent recordings are a pair of songs (‘Lost’ and ‘Red Umbrella’) she included with her 2007 compilation ‘The Hits.’
In the meantime, Hill’s kept a relatively low profile as she works on the follow-up to 2005′s ‘Fireflies’ — but it sounds like she might finally be ready to break her silence.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
The CMA is sticking with what works for the 2011 CMAs, tapping Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood to return for their fourth round of hosting the awards show.
