Pumped for Chief! Also, stay tuned to the end of the video for our own little awards show!! (Unsurprisingly, I liked your votes more than the real CMA ones!)
@@beniveyv7849 or Johnny Bush he passed away sometime shortly before Jerry Jeff and Billy Joe. Other country stars we lost that didn't get a tribute include David Olney, Jan Howard and Justin Townes Earle (Steve Earle's son). Let me know if I forgot anybody else.
Jason Isbell and Amanda Shires actually turned in their CMA memberships because of the John Prine oversight. Would love to hear Grady's insight or opinion on that whole story.
Pretty pathetic Justin Moore didn’t receive an invite. The guys been a mainstay in country music for close to a decade. Especially having a song “The Ones Who Didn’t Make It Back Home” and he could’ve performed on Veterans Day! Come on CMAs, unbelievable. P.S. unreal video as always Grady! Great to have you back making wholesome content🙌🏼
After hearing on his podcast that he doesn’t even have a guitar at home because he doesn’t like “bringing work home”, I pretty much lost any respect I had for the guy. Especially after hearing what I think might be the worst song on the radio this year, “That’s Why We Drink”. Guy’s in it for the money, nothing more.
@@nicholaspalacio9672 I can definitely see your point. I’m not a diehard fan or anything, but I would rather listen to Justin Moore than 75% of what’s on mainstream radio and that’s why I was a little bothered. Would’ve liked to see him there than most. Also had no idea about the podcast story, I don’t like the sound of that. But Justin’s also one of Those guys I’ll listen to just to listen, I’ll never dig deep into his background or follow his every move. If one of my favorites said that, I would definitely be upset.
Eric has had a great year and I am very happy for him. Usually, I would have wanted Carrie to win but she has mostly just been pushing her new Christmas album. Eric’s award was well deserved.
Loved how freaking pumped Luke Combs was for Eric! I mean he was so freaking happy for his buddy! Loved how supportive country music artists are of each other!
Missed Brad & Carrie. How did she not have a performance slot is crazy? I know Luke Combs is like the hottest new thing and he is gonna win EOTY for sure at some point, but I’m glad Eric won it and Carrie and Miranda are also overdue. All 3 have put in the work for 15+ years so it would be nice to see them recognized for their contributions before it starts going to all the new guys.
Tired of Dan + Shay winning a bunch when they haven't...released a country single for a while? Lol like there were SO many better choices for that award even though I do love D+S
I did not realize how violently forgettable 10,000 Hours was until I completely forgot about its performance this morning when the awards were literally last night
I know Mac Davis was the songwriter for "In The Ghetto", but does anyone else associate that song more with Elvis and think they should've gone with "Baby Don't Get Hooked On Me"?
I’m surprised you didn’t talk about Caylee Hammack when mentioning the crowd, she had been dancing alone in the crowd for pretty much all night before people started enjoying themselves ! I still remember her as one of the stand out performers of the night despite her not even appearing on stage.
I think that Cody Johnson should've opened with the Charlie Daniels tribute - because 1) he actually recorded a cover of "Long Haired Country Boy" and 2) it is sooo high energy and rockin (aka his band, the Rockin CJB) and it would've set the energy up so much higher right from the beginning! Plus, I mean, real country represent! ha Also missed Carrie and Brad
Honestly I’d rather you choose the true winners. I’d be happier with the results I am sure. P.S, thank you for introducing me to Gabe Lee. Lowkey may have changed my life.. started uploading my own words/songs on here because of that. God speed
I don’t think Carrie and Brad got “kicked to the curb” by any means. Seemed like Carrie is just over doing it based on her Instagram post and voluntarily opted out.
I don’t see it that way & I’ve been a Carrie fan for years. I don’t think she was over hosting the CMAs,I have to imagine the hours or preparation for the show was time consuming & exhausting when she already had so much on her plate.I didn’t read anything in that Instagram post that would imply she was over it.
I never understood the 'chemistry' or charisma of Brad and Carrie hosting together. Brad always looked like he didn't want to be there and Carrie came off as a demented cheerleader with a thousand bad costume changes.
Just watched it. Is it just me or is Jason Aldean kind of a terrible live singer. Every time I see him perform on an award show it makes me wonder how much manipulating they have to do in the studio
It was nice to see Eric church finally win intertainer of the year. Also love how he said music will unite us I heard that and I'm like Eric church for president 2024 and I really miss Brad and Carrie # brairie Br in Brad + arrie in carrie
Got to agree, by far and away album of the year for me with the sheer number of great songs. Not sure how the recycled bro country of Hardy beat it in one of Grady’s categories.
Hot take: What has Carrie Underwood done in 2020 and 2019 to win Entertainer of the Year? Carrie's incredible, but hasn't been in an album cycle since 2018, only has one new song on the radio, and isn't really doing anything culturally relevant besides singing the SNF theme song. I feel like Maren, Miranda, and Blake have been doing waaayyy more to deserve it recently. What am I missing?
So releasing a Christmas album & having a huge sold out tour last year isn’t good enough for you?You must live under a rock if you didn’t know about her tour last year.She is no less relevant because she hasn’t done much.
Carrie had a huge sold out tour all of last year. Her and Eric arguably had the 2 biggest tours in all of country music. SNF, and hosted the CMA last year for the 12th time, her Calia clothing line, then earlier this year she debuted her fitness app and became a New York Times bestselling author, so she’s has definitely been busy and out there in multiple different ways.
I work from home and keep a radio on and if the bones comes on and I'm not actively on a call I can't get to the radio fast enough to turn it off. The things she does with her voice are horrible. Count me in the why did she win category.
Grady, I’ve always felt like something happened between the CMA and Brad&Carrie. It’s weird how quickly they were kicked to the curb and we know the two of them didn’t pull any punches in their home writing. Also Brad hasn’t shown face the last two years and no performance from Carrie this year. Combine that with the Carrie EOTY drama and idk something isn’t right.
Loved that Sparrow was the song nominated for the country music stuff awards. I get that One Night Standards is a good choice for radio but Sparrow is such a heartfelt, meaningful, beautifully written song. Wish never will had one cma album of the year.
Everyone is upset with Maren winning Song & Single, but i think she deserved Single of the Year. The Bones was massive for females in Country Music. I will say there were better songs for Song of the Year though.
It is a really hard time right now. Was the show slow? Yes but we are going through a once in a lifetime (hopefully) deal. People are naturally not excited. It will get better and things will change. Hang in there folks. We will survive.
people need to stop hating on Dan + Shay I get it that there songs sound a bit like pop which is a kinda the point cause they do country pop for a reason. Country music is still country music and it has always been everybody does their own music with their own sound what you’re hearing nowadays is country pop it’s a sub genre of country music. hear me out on this, I’m a city guy and I know what country music is of course suppose to have and what it’s suppose to be which are a steel guitar, fiddle, or simply just an original wooden guitar and it’s story telling but it doesn’t always have to be that way it can also be fun upbeat music with meaning and it can be positive like how Kenny Chesney does his music.
OVERALL LIKE YOU SAID THE SHOW WAS PRETTY MUCH NULL & VOID NOT TO MENTION PRETTY BLAND & DULL!!!!!! ON THE BRIGHT SIDE THERE'S ALWAYS NEXT YEAR. LMAORHROF!!!!!!!
I'm always going to miss Brad & Carrie hosting the CMA's. I got a large screen TV just for the CMA's the year Brad wasn't the host just to see Brad & Carrie. Bad timing on my part. I keep hoping they will have a reunion of Brad & Carrie on the CMA's that will just kick the ratings in the butt and wake up the audience! If anyone can it's Brad & Carrie back together again as hostess with the mostess. ♥♥
I'm sorry I love Maren, but she will never compare to Carrie Underwood. The only reason maren is being pushed so much nowadays is because she’s buddy buddy with the left. Sorry but it’s true 🙄
Another thing about the HORRENDOUS Morgan Wallen winning the New Artist Award Tenille Arts won the Canadian equivilent (Rising Star), and that is 1 MILLION times better
I had never heard Taylor Swift's betty until you mentioned it in this video. Over an hour later, ive listened to the entire Folklore album. Holy cow. BLOWN AWAY. I'm a 31 year old dude who loves artists like Jason Isbell. I never thought a Taylor Swift album could move me like this. This album is a freaking masterpiece.
I still think it would've been really cool to see the hot country knights perform somehow and I really think Midland is starting to fall under the radar
I love all the fan nominations for Brett Eldredge from Country Music Stuff. Sunday Drive is an incredible song and the album has him moving in the right direction artistically.
I love the cover that Old Dominion did of Lookin’ For Love, hated everything about the Keith Urban part, Eric Church cried his way to get the entertainer of the year award (don’t @ me) and I love love loved that Charley Pride got some recognition, his speech made me really happy for him and made me tear up
I actually dont hate the recognition The Bones got here. No, its not exactly a country song, but it is a good song with more thematic depth than most that come out these days.
Not to cause a problem but the bones is boring thematically and repetitive musically. It’s one of the worst listens on modern country radio and just makes the poor quality Nashville promotes even more obvious.
Why did Kelsea get such a main slot, not being nominated for anything?!!! Carrie was nominated for female of the year and EOTY, and no slot to sing. Total bogus!
I love Carrie to pieces but what would she have sang? The only thing she had to promote was her Christmas album & I doubt anyone there wanted to hear Christmas songs. Ever think that maybe she just wanted to enjoy the night & not have to worry about the pressure of performing?
This is the last time I mention this on your social. But man. The lack of mention for Prine and Shaver is absolutely inexcusable. No Justin Townes Earle either. Somebody in the organization has to speak up about that, it can’t be forgotten. That award show is more Hollywood than lip filler and the Kardashisns put together. 10% of the people invited there write real country music. It’s so sad to see, it really is. Guy Clark, Townes, Waylon, Cash, Kristofferson, these guys would be so heartbroken to see what has become of the genre they helped make. Absolutely brutal. Eric Church winning any sort of award in the same year Isbell releases a record makes you rethink some things.
Grady, please enable the automatic translation of your videos, I'm Brazilian, my English is not good, and I love watching your videos, but without the subtitles I have difficulties. Sorry for the mistakes.
Album of the year was an excellent category. It was an incredible year to see how warmly people took in Ashley's latest project. I have no doubt she was incredibly happy for her friend winning. It is wonderful that her talents haven't gone unnoticed. A very big year for her.
I love Dolly with all my heart but I've never seen 9-5 either or Urban Cowboy for that matter. As much as love music, I really don't like movies. They are so boring to me. It'll be fine if you haven't seen them. LOL!
It's so sad that Prine was not even mentioned once. However, his last song I remember everything has been getting some play on television. This is Us played it and CBS used it as the intro to the Masters this week. I came on late to John Prine, only within the last year or so, but he's got a forever fan now.
Grady, my wife and I absolutely love you but with all due respect Chris Stapleton was the best vocals that night. He's the best vocals any night, top 5 of all time. He could be the beer salesman at a ballpark and go straight Platinum. Have a little respect for the man who has not only written number ones but sang number ones. We love you Grady.
The show gets an A+++++. Best show ever! Because Eric finally got the recognition he deserves! LOL All jokes aside, I agree it was a little bland. I kind of switched back and forth. But, man, that last award changed everything. Eric was robbed two years in a row. Anyone who saw his "Holdin' My Own" or "Double Down" tour knows exactly what I'm talking about. Garth who? Yeah, he's a legend, but I've seen him live and he does the same show every time. He barely even plays any new stuff. Nobody beats Eric when it comes to live shows. Keith Urban is pretty awesome, but he's won the award twice. Eric was due.
Thanks for taking one for the team, Grady. No way I could have watched that. Except for Charley’s part. That guy is a legend. Anyway, always happy to watch you, Grady. Take care.
That’s harsh. How has Keith tarnished his reputation?I think he still cares more about the music than you realize. I find your criticism a bit unwarranted in my opinion.
I wonder why Charlie was there preforming with Gabby since their duet version is considered the “Pop version” ?? I high key prefer the solo version tbh
Something I really don’t like about Reba hosting is how she’s always so. Stiff. Doesn’t matter if she’s talking or singing she looks so uncomfortable. Don’t get me wrong she’s clearly a living legend and her music is amazing but I hate watching her onstage.
Disappointed that a bunch of legends got zero tribute. Jerry Jeff Walker, Billie Joe Shaver, John Prine and Johnny Bush all got snubbed. The first 3 of those guys made massive contributions to the world of country music and Bush was no slouch himself.
Spot on analysis! Sleepy, cheesy and "triggered" pretty much sums it up (I would add pandering as well). The best part was Charlie Pride. He has never gotten the recognition he deserves. Loved that Eric Church won and appreciated his seemingly honest speech. My overall grade would be less generous than your B-, more like C-.
@@pamelaparker7032 Hard to Forget is a jam (and cleverly written); the rest- not so much. I don't hate him because I think he's good at what he does (pop country), but it's not my thing.
My 11 year old and I love Betty. When we play it in the car, I turn the volume down and she and I sing"straight to hell" super loud so as to not offend the ears of my 8 year old son. He has absolutely heard f-bombs before but still gasps at bad language (bless him).
Pumped for Chief! Also, stay tuned to the end of the video for our own little awards show!! (Unsurprisingly, I liked your votes more than the real CMA ones!)
Question. When are you going to cover Long Violent History.
Can you cover luke combs deluxe album with Forever After All etc...
I found this artist a couple of days ago that you should check out his name is Jaden Hamilton
@Jonathan Albrecht - she didn’t ask. But you are. She’s not.
@Jonathan Albrecht - that’s a lot different than calling her trash. She’s earned her plays. No one wants to hear all men all the time.
It’s so sad John prine didn’t get any tribute or anything I really miss him
Or billy joe shaver or Jerry Jeff Walker both passed just a couple weeks ago
@@beniveyv7849 or Johnny Bush he passed away sometime shortly before Jerry Jeff and Billy Joe. Other country stars we lost that didn't get a tribute include David Olney, Jan Howard and Justin Townes Earle (Steve Earle's son). Let me know if I forgot anybody else.

So nice to finally see Eric Church get Entertainer of the Year at one of these awards shows. He's deserved it for years now.

What about Garth?
I love the chemistry between Eric Church and Luke Combs. They seemed so genuinely happy for each other
Both Carolina boys and both went to Appalachian state. They have a lot of connections together.
I wanna know who ok’d Justin Bieber singing at the CMA’s
Thank you!!!!
Exactly!! Like why???
Probably someone who cares more about numbers and media attention than real country music aka Nashville
Well Aj That’s a humdinger
The same person who thought it would be good to not mention John Prine
Tired of Dan + Shay winning a bunch when they haven't...released a country single for a while? Lol like there were SO many better choices for that award even though I do love D+S
Their music is ok, just not country. I take issue with them winning country awards. Nothing wrong with the music though
They released I Should Probably Go To Bed in July :)
@@courtney.22 I don’t think that is country though. They release pop music, good pop, but still pop :)
@@tampatime3515 i will believe you once they come out and say that it is pop. 😊
@@tampatime3515 agree to disagree i guess 😊
I did not realize how violently forgettable 10,000 Hours was until I completely forgot about its performance this morning when the awards were literally last night
I think it's an acceptable pop song...nothing more and definitely not country
@@annaheetderks8696 hey at least it’s not the Florida Georgia line version of yummy
I thought the room setup looked like a restaurant like one of those shows where they also serve you dinner
The CMA Awards at Wally's Supper Club
Early CMA Awards show. Also Brit Awards in UK.
My favourite part of the show was Luke combs and Jon pardi’s reactions to Eric finally winning entertainer
do not like LUKE COMBS NOT GOOD DO NOT LIKE HIM SORRY.
I know Mac Davis was the songwriter for "In The Ghetto", but does anyone else associate that song more with Elvis and think they should've gone with "Baby Don't Get Hooked On Me"?
Glad I'm not the only one who associates the song with Elvis
Wished it was "I Believe in Music."
I’m surprised you didn’t talk about Caylee Hammack when mentioning the crowd, she had been dancing alone in the crowd for pretty much all night before people started enjoying themselves ! I still remember her as one of the stand out performers of the night despite her not even appearing on stage.

Why is Morgan Wallen considered a "new artist"? Hasn't he been around for like 5 years lol
New to the mainstream I guess

Ain’t nothing like a song released in February 2019 winning song/single of the year in November 2020.
It was nice to see Eric church finally win intertainer of the year. Also love how he said music will unite us I heard that and I'm like Eric church for president 2024 and I really miss Brad and Carrie
# brairie
Br in Brad + arrie in carrie
Did they mention Joe Diffie? Not mentioning John Prine, Jerry Jeff Waker, and Billy Joe Shaver is inexcusable.
Jon Pardi did a Joe Diffie tribute.
I didn’t even waste my time watching the CMAs because i knew this would be up today with real results
I wish I would have done that in the first place. I keep thinking things are gonna change but it always seems to upset and disappoint me
Love the recognition Brett Eldredge got for Sunday Drive at the end such an underrated album.
Got to agree, by far and away album of the year for me with the sheer number of great songs. Not sure how the recycled bro country of Hardy beat it in one of Grady’s categories.
Fucking agreed!!
I was disappointed in the awards this year, until the Chief won!
Anybody else think that Dan and shay are ruining country music?
Not at all.
The Bones isn't even a country song, what a joke.
It's a great song though. Not a great country song, but by far the best poppy country song.
Hot take: What has Carrie Underwood done in 2020 and 2019 to win Entertainer of the Year? Carrie's incredible, but hasn't been in an album cycle since 2018, only has one new song on the radio, and isn't really doing anything culturally relevant besides singing the SNF theme song. I feel like Maren, Miranda, and Blake have been doing waaayyy more to deserve it recently. What am I missing?
So, you mean releasing a Christmas album does’t count?
So releasing a Christmas album & having a huge sold out tour last year isn’t good enough for you?You must live under a rock if you didn’t know about her tour last year.She is no less relevant because she hasn’t done much.
Carrie had a huge sold out tour all of last year. Her and Eric arguably had the 2 biggest tours in all of country music. SNF, and hosted the CMA last year for the 12th time, her Calia clothing line, then earlier this year she debuted her fitness app and became a New York Times bestselling author, so she’s has definitely been busy and out there in multiple different ways.
Sara Price admittedly didn’t know about the app and the book and I had forgotten about the CMAs last year. Queen Carrie’s going strong.
Is it weird i watch every vid when im not really a country fan?
Wild world is so thoroughly underrated it hurts my soul
I work from home and keep a radio on and if the bones comes on and I'm not actively on a call I can't get to the radio fast enough to turn it off. The things she does with her voice are horrible. Count me in the why did she win category.
I honestly think this show was pretty good with what it was given. Covid hurt the vibe for sure but this wasnt a bad experience to watch
Yup, think I’ll stick with the Texas Country Music Awards. They actually give out awards to people that sing country music.
Grady, I’ve always felt like something happened between the CMA and Brad&Carrie. It’s weird how quickly they were kicked to the curb and we know the two of them didn’t pull any punches in their home writing.

Love that Kip Moore got a nomination in your awards. So underrated
Loved that Sparrow was the song nominated for the country music stuff awards. I get that One Night Standards is a good choice for radio but Sparrow is such a heartfelt, meaningful, beautifully written song. Wish never will had one cma album of the year.
Everyone is upset with Maren winning Song & Single, but i think she deserved Single of the Year. The Bones was massive for females in Country Music. I will say there were better songs for Song of the Year though.
I just don’t think it is country
@@tampatime3515 stop hating it is country
Keith Urban's music has lost it's way. His newer stuff is crap.
It is a really hard time right now. Was the show slow? Yes but we are going through a once in a lifetime (hopefully) deal. People are naturally not excited. It will get better and things will change. Hang in there folks. We will survive.

Marren Morris is so overrated. Her vocals live is honestly disappointing
nah she killed that performance
Loved how happy Luke was for Chief when he won. I was really rooting for Luke this year, but watching how excited he was really made my night.
I'm sorry I love Maren, but she will never compare to Carrie Underwood. The only reason maren is being pushed so much nowadays is because she’s buddy buddy with the left. Sorry but it’s true 🙄
Was there any mention of Jerry Jeff or Billy Joe Shaver?
No and that really sucked!

Ye that's insane. I can see it getting one cuz it's been #1 fo forever, but there are really far better songs to choose from.
Its pathetic

Grady, please enable the automatic translation of your videos, I'm Brazilian, my English is not good, and I love watching your videos, but without the subtitles I have difficulties. Sorry for the mistakes.
Oi/Ola Camila, boa noite agora. Como vai vc anoite? How are you doing tonight? Eu entendo tuas palavras.... xauuuu
Album of the year was an excellent category. It was an incredible year to see how warmly people took in Ashley's latest project. I have no doubt she was incredibly happy for her friend winning. It is wonderful that her talents haven't gone unnoticed. A very big year for her.
I love Dolly with all my heart but I've never seen 9-5 either or Urban Cowboy for that matter. As much as love music, I really don't like movies. They are so boring to me. It'll be fine if you haven't seen them. LOL!
There's a nation of Texans that don't care about any of these names. ;P
It's so sad that Prine was not even mentioned once. However, his last song I remember everything has been getting some play on television. This is Us played it and CBS used it as the intro to the Masters this week.
I came on late to John Prine, only within the last year or so, but he's got a forever fan now.
always angry that Kip never gets nominated for anything
Grady, my wife and I absolutely love you but with all due respect Chris Stapleton was the best vocals that night. He's the best vocals any night, top 5 of all time. He could be the beer salesman at a ballpark and go straight Platinum. Have a little respect for the man who has not only written number ones but sang number ones. We love you Grady.
Haha I thought I gave him love tho??!
Yes, why did they replace Brad & Carrie? Loved them together, and they actually made me laugh.
I'm from Brazil and I was not able to watch it so thank you for this.
The show gets an A+++++. Best show ever!
Because Eric finally got the recognition he deserves! LOL
All jokes aside, I agree it was a little bland. I kind of switched back and forth. But, man, that last award changed everything. Eric was robbed two years in a row. Anyone who saw his "Holdin' My Own" or "Double Down" tour knows exactly what I'm talking about. Garth who? Yeah, he's a legend, but I've seen him live and he does the same show every time. He barely even plays any new stuff. Nobody beats Eric when it comes to live shows. Keith Urban is pretty awesome, but he's won the award twice. Eric was due.
Have you heard of Buddy Brown, he is one of my favorite country singers but no one talks about him.
Thanks for taking one for the team, Grady. No way I could have watched that. Except for Charley’s part. That guy is a legend. Anyway, always happy to watch you, Grady.
Take care.
The show was boring as hell.
No Riley green?
@Lord Pepe amen.
Would you be against doing a CMa type thing with the non mainstream stuff?
Keith Urban just keeps tarnishing his reputation. Has he just let fame get to his head? He used to care a lot more about the music.
That’s harsh. How has Keith tarnished his reputation?I think he still cares more about the music than you realize. I find your criticism a bit unwarranted in my opinion.
@@bookgirl8 He's literally just been following trends for years now. How is his music genuine at all?
I wonder why Charlie was there preforming with Gabby since their duet version is considered the “Pop version” ?? I high key prefer the solo version tbh
Probably because Gabby woulda been out of breath if she had to sing alone
@@kyledespain5247 she recently did it alone on Ellen
Kip Moore should have won album of the year. I love it. That’s coming from a guy in Manchester, England
Yes yes yes for tequila does or dark bars for miranda's next single 🙌
Dan & Shay, not country at all. okay pop music, I guess.
Something I really don’t like about Reba hosting is how she’s always so. Stiff. Doesn’t matter if she’s talking or singing she looks so uncomfortable. Don’t get me wrong she’s clearly a living legend and her music is amazing but I hate watching her onstage.
Bc she's used to sitcom humor rather than stand up. If you want to be in pain, watch her Jimmy Kimmel interview. Loved her on Reba though.
GRADY!!!!!
NICHOLAS!!!!!
BOB!!!!
How is it possible Grady get cutter by the video?
Disappointed that a bunch of legends got zero tribute. Jerry Jeff Walker, Billie Joe Shaver, John Prine and Johnny Bush all got snubbed. The first 3 of those guys made massive contributions to the world of country music and Bush was no slouch himself.
Spot on analysis! Sleepy, cheesy and "triggered" pretty much sums it up (I would add pandering as well). The best part was Charlie Pride. He has never gotten the recognition he deserves. Loved that Eric Church won and appreciated his seemingly honest speech. My overall grade would be less generous than your B-, more like C-.
Surprised by the amount of Sam Hunt love in the Country Music Stuff nominations
I am surprised by the love for him anywhere but I am def not a fan of his and a few more I could mention if we had the time 😬
@@pamelaparker7032 Hard to Forget is a jam (and cleverly written); the rest- not so much. I don't hate him because I think he's good at what he does (pop country), but it's not my thing.
My 11 year old and I love Betty. When we play it in the car, I turn the volume down and she and I sing"straight to hell" super loud so as to not offend the ears of my 8 year old son. He has absolutely heard f-bombs before but still gasps at bad language (bless him).
The keen cupcake clearly book because brochure biomechanically head absent a terrible trapezoid. instinctive, fragile viscose
I love the stuff award
And yea.. love betty.. surprisingly it win 😂
Grady, can you tell me how artists are nominated for CMAs? And who decides who wins? I've always wondered.
