Nashville - Men take the honors at music awards
Print Edition
CMT’s celebration of country music’s top artists of 2013 was a complete dude fest.
Whether it was saluting Tim McGraw as a more-relevant-than-ever trailblazer, acknowledging the genre’s love-hate relationship with Florida Georgia Line, the precociousness of Hunter Hayes or the current dominance of good buddies Jason Aldean and Luke Bryan, Tuesday night’s live broadcast of “CMT Artists of the Year” had plenty of bro hugs to go around.
“It’s really cool to be part of this fraternity and what’s going on in Nashville right now, and country music is one of the coolest things in the world,” Aldean said.
Men ruled country radio this year, and thus the format, with only Miranda Lambert, Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood making waves in what’s considered mainstream country. Tuesday’s show reflected that year.
McGraw made something of a comeback this year, releasing his first post-Curb Records album and reclaiming his place as one of country’s most bankable stars under a new record deal with Big Machine Records. McGraw acknowledged his fellow honorees while accepting his new trophy.
The CMT Music Awards is a fan-voted awards show for country music videos and TV performances.
