Carrie Underwood performed her current hit single “Just A Dream” at last night’s CMA Awards. She was introduced by Leslie Ponder, wife of fallen soldier Master Sergeant James “Tre” Ponder.

I love this song by Keith - “Sweet Thing.” It’s slated to be the lead single from his upcoming fifth album!

I loved this performance of “Love Story” by Taylor Swift at last night’s CMA Awards.

Brad Paisley and Keith Urban performed “Start a Band” last night for the CMA Awards and did and excellent job. They work really well together and I hope they team up again in the future!
