I live under a rock. Who exactly is Chris Stapleton? He's the new king of the country.

WOW... they really embraced Chris!
Not trying to detract anything from Chris, he REALLY deserves all this accolades... I just wish they would start embracing critically acclaimed females with no radio airplay as much (e.g. Ashley Monroe, Brandy Clark, Lee Ann, Kacey).

I'm so happy for Chris. So, so, so happy. Nobody deserves it more than him. How wonderful.

Did y'all happen to catch Sam Hunt's facial expression while watching Chris give his speech? I swear it looked like he had no idea who Chris Stapleton even is. I'm sure he does since they hugged when Chris won one of his awards earlier today lol

Didn't Carrie just release her album?! She hasn't even gotten thru her second single yet. "Something in the Water" was one of the biggest solo hits in country music this past year, "Little Toy Guns" was a follow-up #1... Carrie deserved it most, no question about it in my opinion. Carrie wasn't even nominated for EOTY so I never expected her to win anyway.

Honestly the only downfall tonight was Miranda winning Female Vocalist. Otherwise, the awards were PERFECT!
I'm crying inside though... I was REALLY hoping Carrie would win, oh well... Maybe next year? If Miranda holds off on releasing music for a while...

Would rather not see this cocky sellout win EOTY again over Eric/Kenny/Dierks...but it was still a great day for country music. New Eric Church album not to mention Chris Stapleton just became a BIG star, and finally got the recognition he deserves.

Carrie wasn't even nominated for EOTY so I never expected her to win anyway. I don't think many people expected Carrie to win, I just think the majority were hoping she would based on a number of things (Miranda winning 5 in a row, Carrie having the bigger year, etc)...

Token Dierks fan is totally okay with Chris winning! And he and Dierks are friends, and I know Dierks is insanely thrilled for his pal. :)

They didn't play Kacey after awards and sales why would they care about CMA awards. This is likely not a tidal moment for country, sadly.

Like I did all the math data everything. How didn't Carrie win. Her radio performance outmatched Miranda. Sales it isn't even close SITW and LTG outsold amd outperformed LRW and Smoking and Drinking. This is just gonna eat away at me until Carrie wins or until Miranda does something stupid whichever one happens worse I can careless because I am sick and tired of it.

It's "Pure BS" that Miranda won and Carrie lost. Carrie had 2 top hits and Miranda's singles have all fizzled in comparison. I don't know what Miranda has on the CMA voters but it must be "Something Bad!"

Even though Carrie lost she is the top 3 albums again on iTunes with Eric and Chris. Isn't this the first time we've had three country albums take over the top 3 on iTunes?

Honestly so depressing as a Carrie fan. I know other artists have it much worse. But to be the face and legs (hehe) of the show and not get a single thing, ESPECIALLY when you're clearly the most deserving is just awful. I'm just hoping Carrie has an undeniable 2016 so much so that the voters simply can't ignore her. GOD PLEASE!
