The CMA Awards are tonight on ABC. Love and Theft host the pre-telecast ceremonies, live at CMAawards.com. Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood host tonight. Brad and Carrie say they’ve kept their eyes and ears open the last few months for good material, but they wont be mean or in poor taste. Carrie says, “we don't want to offend.” For those counting, from the red carpet to the end of the show, Carrie will have 12 outfit changes tonight.

The show will open with Jason Aldean, Luke Bryan and Eric Church singing Jason’s new song. Other performers tonight include Kenny Chesney, Little Big Town, The Band Perry, Taylor Swift, Keith Urban and Zac Brown Band. Tim McGraw debuts his new single. When you see Faith Hill perform, look close. She’s once again wearing braces. Not the fancy hidden ones, real braces! Tim and Faith are also part of a tribute to Willie Nelson with Lady A and Blake Shelton.
 

Presenters tonight include Jake Owen, Martina, Reba, Kellie Pickler, Sugarland, Darius Rucker, Kimberly Williams-Paisley, Lisa Maria Presley and actor Tim Allen.

Vince Gill and Kelly Clarkson duet on her new country song.

Don't forget, you can catch coverage of the CMA's on Q102 at 8pm!!
