You got the best one right so nothing else matters anymore. I agree. I just gave it a second listen, and this album is really good.

Why do they keep nominating and inviting Keith Urban. His time of making good music has come and gone. I’ve read a lot of crazy posts on here tonight, but this takes the cake. Whether you like Keith or not, and even though his latest album isn’t having the success as his last one, you’d have to be an idiot to question why he is here and performing. He’s one of country biggest stars and has been for 15+ years. I don’t even like him that much, but to think he shouldn’t even be invited makes me have no respect for your opinion on anything else.

I was there and it was fucking magical. Some of the awards pissed me off, but I cried when Keith won! I’m so happy for him.

I honestly never would’ve pictures Carrie winning before Kacey or Maren. But I’m okay with it. Carrie has already won this award 4 times though....

With Miranda continuing to fade into obscurity, Carrie appearing to be launching a soft era so far, and Maren poised to drop new music early next year, I look forward to seeing somebody new winning FVOTY in 2019! Go Maren!!!

is there a reason Kenny wasn’t there? just wondering He posted on social media today (or yesterday maybe? I can't remember) that there was a death in his family. Anyway, I'll post some thoughts on the show tomorrow. It's too late right now, lol.

He’s one of country biggest stars and has been for 15+ years. Hard to believe this was Keith Urban's first televised CMA (or ACM) award in 12 years – he was wayyy overdue!

I flipped in and out of this, partly because of how predictable the results had become. I can't believe Kacey and Carrie both actually won something--and in the same year. An early Christmas miracle.

Wow Chris Stapleton winning everything he was nominated for.
Didn't see that one coming.
/sarcasm.
Glad to see Old Dominion picking up the win though. NSTAABH best single imo from last year.

Oh the site I was viewing the awards on didn't have everything bolded yet so all I saw were the ones he won. Surprised he didn't win EOTY with how much reviewers seem to like his music.

I’ve seen a few comments about how Kacey, Keith and Carrie’s win mean that the WME voting block is loosened and also that the CMAs has been trying for a few years to reduce that influence. Is there any merit to those comments?

It is so nice to see the winners be a different crop than the past 5-6 years. However, Maren Morris was ROBBED. No offense to Carrie at all, and her new album has some solid material, but Maren was EVERYWHERE. Shocked she didn't take it home. I would have been less surprised if Kacey won (and she deserved AOTY lol at those saying she didn't) than Carrie taking it home after her softest era launch ever.

Carrie has 5 female vocalist wins. 2 behind Miranda. I know Miranda has won some years that have boggled people’s minds, but let’s not act like Carrie is Susan Lucci over here. She has 5 wins. With a great shot to take it home next year too. She may end up having the most FV’s in history, so I don’t get get the whole, “can’t believe she won something.”

I mean I can appreciate what Keith has done historically, and still say that his nominations this year -- and especially his win this year for EOTY -- was undeserved. I feel like people feel sorry for Keith because he's continually nominated and losing but a) he's still getting nominated which is more than most of his peers (Luke had one nomination, Blake zero, Kenny one, Garth zero, Brad zero, Tim zero etc) and b) he actually has won in the past.
Super happy Kacey won btw

Keith is incredible, people here are just insane! His live show, as some have stated, is just hands down one of the best in the genre!
His latest CD is incredible as well.
Was SHOCKED he won though after losing Album and Male vocalist. How do you lose lower end awards and win the top tier? It's like losing your Genre catergories at the grammys and winning AOTY. lol I mean, I get how it happens but it just seems so rare and unlikely.

Need to go back to Sunday’s and stop trying to compete with Survivor.
They also need more female nominees or Taylor to come back to country.

I'm surprised Keith Urban won EOTY. I'm a little torn because of the nominees, I think he'd have to be my preferred choice, but I also think his current music sucks and doesn't hold a candle to anything he's done in his entire career prior to this era so idk how to feel, lol.
Also sad that new blood wasn't rewarded in FVOTY this year. I hope maybe next year Maren can get her chance. I love Carrie and Miranda, but honestly they were 4th and 5th in the running based on what they'd done over the past year imo, and I'd have rather seen any of the other 3 ladies take home the award.

Unless one of the current ladies in country has a HUGE year, I don’t foresee Carrie losing next year. I wouldn’t have even dared to say that definitively before last night, but the powers that be seem to be shifting and if Carrie was somehow able to garner the votes this year, I don’t see how she won’t be able to next year. She’ll probably end up the top female in country all things considered... Again, assuming Kelsea, Maren, or Kacey don’t break out in a huge way. Anything is possible, but I don’t see much changing in the next seven months...

Yeah, I was sincerely hoping Maren would get it this year; she truly deserved it. No woman had a bigger year than her this last year, and I do think that, should they continue to work Carrie & the CP album sufficiently with singles, TV spots, and other media exposure, she’ll wind up taking the award next year, too. Basically the entire CP album thus far falls into the 2019 eligibility period (barring the lead), and the tour will be running from the final part of the period all the way up to the CMAs itself, giving plenty of room for her and her team to get votes.
If last night really was an indication of anything, it’s that I think we will see Carrie Underwood win EOTY next year.

Keep in mind that only the first part of Carrie's tour next year falls in the CMA eligibility period..on the other hand...they don't always care
