^ I miss the BA glory note too, but I'm wondering if she's doing it to save her voice. That's my biggest fear is that someday she will damage it like Martina did. Really all she needed to do to get the album connecting was to tour lol. It's been performing MILES better on iTunes since the tour started. The big note in Blown Away is actually a very standard and recurrent note in her catalog of hits. The sequence is just C5-D5-B4. Very basic for her in terms of where her comfortable range sits. She belts higher notes in most of her songs. I'm not sure why she would choose to cut corners there in the interest of preserving her voice, but then add even higher sustained notes in other songs? There would just be no logic in doing that. And the note in BA is such a signature and iconic part of the song, and always gets a huge reaction from the crowd any time she does it. I wish she would bring it back. Your answer is in just what you said -- it's not difficult for her so she's not doing it to "save her voice". It's obviously an artistic choice, it's what she's feeling for the song these days. Personally I love the change in the arrangement ala the Apple Music set. The downside for a live show is that the nuance is lost because the crowd screams over her. |

The downside for a live show is that the nuance is lost because the crowd screams over her. Exactly. That was a rhetorical question I asked, to emphasize the point that her omission of the note as a strategic move to help preserve her voice wouldn't follow any sort of logical fact pattern with regard to other note choices she's made for this tour. |

Ghost Story has officially gone recurrent on Country Radio. Let’s get ready for Hate My Heart to be added next Monday!
P.S. she’s confirmed to perform HMH on the CMA’s in two weeks!

So I went to my concert in Minneapolis last night and OH MY GOD. She always seems to improve upon every tour and this is no exception. She sounded incredible and this was the first tour that I truly could tell that she was having fun. She was herself finally and has settled into her own here. Easily one of the better tour productions she has had and this is in the top 3 easily of all her concerts that I’ve seen. Plus, it helped that I forked over more money than usual to get into the Pit and it made all the difference. Such a fun night! Other than being a man, idk what more Carrie can do to prove that she is worthy of EOTY. Just a shame that she continues to get passed over.

If she had $1.50, the CMAs would’ve given her at LEAST five EOTYs by now. |

Carrie has proven she's worthy of EOTY every year for the last 10 years despite what the CMA's think.

It’s so interesting looking back through the years. It’s almost like her two ACM wins cursed her out of the CMA category for several years after… I remember feeling so confident back in 2010 that she’d be nominated after two wins at the ACMs, but nope. I then remember feeling confident after the BA era in 2013, at least before George Strait retired thus resulting in a legacy win… I can’t help but wonder if she was right on the cusp of making it in that year.
Anyway, after so many killer years without a nomination, I stopped hoping… until 2016 after the Storyteller Tour. I was shocked when she made it into the category, and the hope returned! I thought maybe she’d have the momentum to win, but nope… another legacy win. Then there was 2019, a night all but designed for Carrie to walk away the winner, and rightfully so, just to give a legacy act his “lucky # 7”… an absolute travesty.
I genuinely believed 2019 would be it. I didn’t think she’d make it back into the category again. I said this in the CMA thread, but it just seemed like an all-in effort that year. Not to mention the controversy that followed when Garth announced he was pulling himself out of the running, and the less controversial move of Carrie stepping down as host. Back then, it seemed like a surrender more or less… I’ve been surprised every year since to see Carrie make the final five, and it does keep some hope alive. I do hope one day she gets her undeniable due; I think many agree she should have at least one or two of these by now. Out of her mid 2000s “class”, she’s easily the most accomplished and popular artist yet to win…
While I don’t think she’ll win this year, I’d be elated if she did… She deserves it for her career, if not for the specific year. 2022 wasn’t massive like some other years throughout her career, but it still culminates into a strong case for EOTY. You never know how the votes fall…

You never know how the votes fall… From what I am hearing, a lot of people are pretty sure that Morgan Wallen is going to get EOTY. (Cue eye roll) Also, Carrie provided some insight into why “Garden” is on the set list. She said the song is a personal one for her and that she wrote it during the pandemic. She wanted everyone to be kind to each other and this was the representation of that. She said it usually makes her cry every time she sings it. |

They like to give her awards. |

I truly stan both ladies but the idea of Miranda getting an entertainer award before Carrie is a choice. I’ll happily take this route over Wallen though. I think the most painful part of this whole predicament is not that she clearly has deserved a couple of these awards, but that she’s done so much for this organization and brought so many new fans to the genre. It almost feels personal. She just happens to be a top-tier entertainer that eclipses the genre as well. I actually think her best chance of winning it at this point might be as a legacy act as well. When the concept of “Carrie hasn’t won this yet” outshines her competitors who have likely achieved more (within the given year). It’s unfortunate, but I think it’s how she’ll end up getting it. |

Speaking of legacy acts, when was the last time a female legacy act was nominated for cma/acm |

Agree Carrie might win when she's more of a legacy act and it's more blatant that she hasn't won it yet. Similarly to how Keith randomly won it during his GraffitiU era which was not a hot era for him commercial wise.

Speaking of legacy acts, when was the last time a female legacy act was nominated for cma/acm Never? I don’t think a female has ever been nominated or won based on their legacy… and the only “legacy” acts to ever win had previously won - Strait and Brooks are the most recent examples, not sure if there are any others tbh.. I don’t think Carrie will end up winning as a legacy act, I think it’s during her prime, or never. I say this because it has never happened before for a woman, and I find it hard to believe there will ever be a year in which the story of Carrie’s snubs in this category overtake the successes of competitors in a given year. Strait won because he announced his retirement from touring, but he was still very relevant on radio at that point. Garth won because he un-retired and sold a shitload of tickets. I could possibly see it happening for Carrie if she were to announce her retirement from touring, but I don’t think she’s retiring anytime soon… Every female winner won towards the beginning or middle of the height of their career, and I don’t think any women has been nominated outside of their peak years… I don’t see that changing. ETA: Alan Jackson is receiving the CMA Lifetime Achievement award and Carrie will be a part of the tribute performance! |

I don’t see her winning EOTY this year. I struggle to believe a case where Wallen or Combs doesn’t win it this year. Really encourage fans to stop getting their hopes up so darn high. It’s become a touring award, at the end of the day, and while CU is doing arenas, Combs has stadiums under his belt. And Wallen isn’t far behind him, either.
She’ll win it eventually. Just not sure it’ll be this year. Or next, for that matter.

Has the album seen any kind of gain from the tour? It’s had much better placement on iTunes (idk how much actual sales that translates to). It went from being in the 50s to being in the top 10 on country. It slipped back a little bit this past Friday but still is in the top 20 country albums. Not sure about streaming, that’s a little harder to track. |

Anyone know if Carrie will be involved with the Loretta tribute tonight at the Opry? I didn’t see her name listed but it says “and more”… perhaps she taped a message or something, or not, but I was kinda hoping she’d be involved.

ETA: an 18th win moves Carrie into the top 5 all time winners, and a 19th moves her into the top 4. She would tie Justin Bieber and Alabama for 5th place, and she’d tie Kenny Rogers for 4th place with 19 wins. If she wins both, she’s behind Taylor Swift, Michael Jackson, and Whitney Houston, the latter two being well in reach. We’re a pretty remarkable fan base. ♥️ |

Why on earth is she not performing her new single? So bizarre. They could have at least planned it as a two song medley and performed truncated versions of both to fit in a 3-4 minute slot.

She's performing it at the CMA's on the 9th. CA should connect well with a mainly pop audience. I'm also taking this to mean Burn and SDK (if she goes four deep) are the future singles. |

I’m expecting “Burn” to be a single but if she gives us “She Don’t Know” as well I will be absolutely perched. I didn’t really expect “Hate My Heart” to be performed if she did end up performing. I thought she’d probably go with “Pink Champagne” if she performed since that one probably the best with her pop fans with “Crazy Angels” as a second. |
