2013 CMA Awards – Predictions and Performers

Tomorrow is “Country Music’s Biggest Night™,” and the fans are not going to be disappointed. All week, country music fans have been celebrating the music and preparing for “The 47th Annual CMA Awards” broadcast. When the nominees were announced, I wrote a piece on the CMA Awards... you can read it here. With tomorrow’s broadcast, it’s time to share my predictions on the winners and the exciting list of performers.

As it has been for the past five years, Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley will be co-hosting the broadcast tomorrow night (November 6, 2013 on ABC). Not only can we look forward to the energy both Carrie and Brad bring, but there is also an amazing line-up of performers scheduled for the evening:

1. Jason Aldean

2. Luke Bryan

3. Eric Church

4. Florida Georgia Line

5. Alan Jackson

6. Little Big Town

7. Time McGraw

8. Kacey Musgraves

9. Brad Paisley

10. George Strait

11. Taylor Swift

12. Carrie Underwood.

The two I’m most excited to see are Carrie Underwood and Kacey Musgraves... but all of them are great and will do nothing less than entertain.

So, lets see how well I do. Add your predictions in the comments below...
