The CMT Artists of the Year hosted
by Larry the Cable Guy airs tonight on CMT & VH1. Stars like Eric Church
and Lady A will honor Keith Urban, Jason Aldean, Florida Georgia Line, Miranda
Lambert and Luke Bryan but he’s had to cancel due to the loss of his
brother-in-law Ben Saturday. Ben was married to Luke’s sister who died 7 years
ago.
Keith Urban says he’d still be
playing music even if he never achieved commercial success. When he started
playing at age 6, his parents were incredibly supportive and drove him to
numerous talent competitions. He wasn’t even old enough to drive when he joined
his first band.
Carrie Underwood always wears
makeup, even on her day off and says, “I just feel better when I have a little
on.” Of course the few times she’s made a late night run to the grocery store
without any are when fans see her and want to take a photo.
Finally - Tim McGraw says as a
child he had an Elvis record he wore out and when he met Faith he was so happy
to find out she too was a huge Elvis fan.
