Does anyone know if there'll be a way to livestream the show tonight online? I'll be at work when it starts so I can't watch it on tv but I can use my laptop. Jw if anyone knows.

Jw if anyone knows. livetvcafe.com (or .net...? one of 'em) usually always has reliable live stream links, though they do throw some advertisements on your screen that you'll have to click out of periodically. Nothing terrible, though (at least with a MacBook -- not sure about any other type of computer). I like "Different For Girls" so I have no problem with it winning... However, we all know who I really wanted to win ;) And I also don't really think that there could be anything else imaginable on television that would keep me from watching the awards; this year or any year. Rather than watching on television though, I like to attend them instead. So, yours truly will be representing from the 300 level of the Bridgestone Arena tonight. :) Insanely jealous. Have a blast!

Chris Stapleton and Dierks Bentley are both with WME. 2/2 wins for WME so far.
By the way, if you're using Windows, do not type in that livecafe.com or .net link. When I tried it, I got the 'Forbidden' screen and then my computer crashed.

I love Garth, but if he wins Entertainer I will be devastated. I'll be upset if anyone but Carrie wins, but stronger cases can be made for all the other nominees (aside from Chris). Today is going by way too slow! As for WME, at least in both of those categories they were somewhat expected and deserving...

I gotta be honest... I don't really care for Carrie's music and mostly her voice (not a tone I personally think is pretty or pleasant). Having said that, I've always felt like her fans are the ones that care the most about these country awards (or, at least, are the most vocal about it), and it's like the universe has been playing tricks on them for so long now that I honestly would be happy to see her winning at least something big tonight even though I'm a bigger fan of other nominees. It would definitely be a fun celebration with her fans in here lol This is pretty much exactly how I feel too. So for this night, I'll be rooting for her. Man, what unfortunate timing this ran into this year. They've been doing such a great job hyping it up over the last month or so and it sounds like it's going to be a great show blending the new with the old, then Game 7 happened. The other networks had the luxury to switch to reruns tonight knowing that they're going to be trounced in the ratings and poor ABC can't. The CMAs and the Grammys are my two award shows that I always watch but it's going right to the DVR tonight, sorry CMAs.

Both Dierks and Chris are WME/LN double blocks, so are Luke and Miranda.

Now I'm afraid to do it 'cause I have Windows, lmao.

Beyonce is reportedly performing with the Dixie Chicks. CONFIRMED! Some wishes for the show: -BeyoncΓ© performs "Daddy Lessons". (I've personally had this prediction pegged ever since Lemonade came out back in April and I'm still sticking by it.) -The Dixie Chicks come back and do something -- perform, present, wave at the camera from the front row, etc. I don't care; I just want to see them there again. I LOVE BEING RIGHT

That's a HUGE pull. The Chicks have been covering "Daddy Lessons" on tour every night. Also I can assure those of you who haven't heard the song yet that it is infinitely more ~country~ than most of the current singles we'll probably hear tonight.
I couldn't be more excited for this show.

I couldn't be more excited for this show. Daddy Lessons is great and the Chicks' version is even better (I'm biased but ok! LOL). My only concern is that everything that involves BeyoncΓ© is always "all about BeyoncΓ©" (or the media always makes it all about her) and I've always dreamed of the Chicks making their triumphant return to the CMA stage... It should be about them. Nothing against BeyoncΓ© as an artist though. Well... I guess this is better than not having them performing LOL

BeyoncΓ© is definitely more of a culture than she is an artist nowadays, which does make it difficult for everyone else when they do something involved with her. But, I think this will stand as more of an all-encompassing moment, rather than a "BEYONCΓ IS ON THE CMAs SHE'S BETTER THAN EVERYONE" kind of deal that usually comes with an appearance by her. I imagine she's probably well-informed of the importance and verse of the evening, so hopefully that'll translate to some reservedness in order to keep the attention on the 50th anniversary, the genre's stars, and the Chicks returning to their home base.

I'm already LOL'ing at some of the tweets about it. The same reactions were made when it was announced that JT was performing with Stapleton last year, and one year later, those same complainers praise that moment as "one of the best performances in CMA history." People get so damn pressed.

I am beyond happy that the Dixie Chicks are performing. It's only right. And hey since Beyonce is involved, maybe some people will actually watch! Letting a new audience hear country isn't a bad thing.

What a nice pleasant surprise with the Dixie Chicks. Looking forward to Stapleton/Yoakum but I have a feeling this is going to be "ladies night out" in terms of the best performances.

Wouldn't surprise me if they threw in another song to the performance to make it a medley similar to the JT/Stapleton performance last year. Perhaps "Daddy Lessons" followed by "Not Ready To Make Nice" or "Goodbye Earl," or something to that extent?
ETA: Reports are now coming out that Taylor Swift will be there, though the capacity in which she'll be there is unknown. Maybe something LBT-related? Intro? Perform w/ 'em on "Better Man"?

Lol at the thought of BeyoncΓ© singing "Goodbye Earl". I don't think there are many Dixie Chicks songs that she could pull off, and I highly doubt "Not Ready to Make Nice" would be a good choice to perform as their first CMA performance since the big incident (unless I'm forgetting something... ). I'd bet it will just be Daddy Lessons or maybe another classic country song, but likely not a Dixie Chicks song unless its something like "Landslide"
Also pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeease don't have Taylor ruin LBT's performance of "Better Man". I might cry if that happened. Have her there to introduce their performance and then that be it please.

Taylor could do some more interpretive dancing like she did for Tim McGraw's performance of "Highway Don't Care".
