CMA spoilers under the cut... I don't normally do this, but I don't think it's on tv anywhere!
(italics taken from the daily mail online article) (Yes, I know!)
*Taylor Swift takes the award for Female Vocalist of the Year - 'I want to thank every single person in this room tonight for not running up on this stage during this speech - thank you.' On a more emotional note, she added: 'I'll never forget this moment because in this moment everything that I have ever wanted has just happened to me.'
*Co-hosts Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley performed the country standard Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up To Be Cowboys,' but changed the lyrics to 'Mamas don't let your babies grow up to be Kanye.' They sang: 'Let them pick guitars and drive them old trucks, 'cause cowboys have manners, they don't interrupt.'
And someone, somewhere, is going to rip the audio for this so I can have it for my iPod? Pretty please???
*Brad Paisley making a speech - As Paisley began to thank his video team, 88-year-old country crooner Little Jimmy Dickens walked out on stage to stop the speech. 'Excuse me! Excuse me sir - I'll let you finish later. Now Brad Paisley, I know you had a nice video and all that, but Taylor Swift made the best video of all time,' Dickens joked.
BWAH! And also, I am ashamed to admit, but I thought Little Jimmy died long ago. My bad.
