Top Tweets of the Week – Week of November 13th

10. Celebrities were flocking into Nashville this week, which led to a little mess-up in traffic. Jason Jones (@Jonesville) posted this “Dear Mr. Vice President, thank you for flying into Nashville RIGHT BEFORE I have to pick someone up at the airport.”

9. The CMA’s played host to many collaborations and @MattNathanson realized what he was getting himself into when he arrived in Nashville. “it’s rapidly dawning on me how big a f***ing deal the CMAs are in this town #iamindenial”

8. After coming off of American Idol, @DannyGokey has been able to make his charity, Sophia’s Heart, come to life. He posted this amazing tweet this week “Tomorrow we are taking in a new homeless family off the streets & into Sophia’s Heart. Trying to get 2 more families by the end of the year!”

7. Country artists are grateful for having the jobs they have, but @CoreySmithMusic’s child doesn’t think his father even works! “I just had a debate with my 5 yr old about whether or not songwriting counts as work. He won. “If you like it, it’s not work.” #kidwisdom”

6. By now @KelliePickler is used to being uncomfortable at awards shows, but she is trying to change that! “At my dress fitting for the CMA’s…wouldn’t it be nice if it were the “Comfy Music Awards”…pajamas down the red carpet…no?”

5. Recently someone new has come into @TaylorSwift13’s life. Her cat that is so cute that Katy Perry said recently she wants to steal it. “My thank you’s. And my cat. Good night!”

4. After the awards show, @MartinaMcBride may have accidentally slept in, but she is still a great mom! “I tucked my 6 yr old back in bed w/me this morning and we both slept in. #thingsyoudoafteralatenight #shewaslatetoschool #motheroftheyearnot”

3. Even though the competition of getting an ward was in full force, artists still found a way to express their admiration for others; as @BradPaisley does here: “I will be changing my name to “The Band Paisley” tomorrow.”

2. The mega-couple of Blake & Miranda had a great night at the CMA Awards. @BlakeShelton posted this to express his gratitude “Thank y’all soooooooooo much!!!!!!! I can’t believe this sh*t!!!”

1. Country music might just have a new female superstar taking over. It seems Miss Piggy has made her way to many pictures on twitter including this one with Jennifer Nettles of @SugarlandMusic “Met an icon today at the #CMA Country Christmas taping! Just two girls getting ready for the holidays… – J”

Eric Church Blown Away by CMA Award Energy

Top New Artist nominee Eric Church performed his current Top 15 and climbing single, “Drink In My Hand,” last night on ABC’s 45th Annual CMA Awards, a first-time experience for the chart-topping artist.

“This was my first time performing on the CMA Awards, and I really did not know what to expect. I was blown away by the energy from the crowd and it made the performance one hell of a good time. I hope I get to do it again.”

Entertainment Weekly noted Church’s performance lent to one of the few “rock raucousness” moments of the evening, and The Arizona Republic called his one of the best performances of the night: “It takes a certain kind of attitude to put a song like that across, and Church had it to burn with the skill to back it up, throwing the devil’s horns like he’d been doing shots with Hank III at one point.”

Church recently celebrated the RIAA-Gold Certification of his latest album, CHIEF, in just 10 weeks after its chart-topping release.

45th Annual CMA Awards Recap…

It was a night of new victors and returning champions at “The 45th Annual CMA Awards” Wednesday night in Nashville.

Taylor Swift won her second CMA Entertainer of the Year trophy. Newlyweds Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton won Female Vocalist and Male Vocalist for the second consecutive year. Jason Aldean won his first two CMA Awards for Musical Event of the Year with Kelly Clarkson, and Album of the Year for My Kinda Party. The Band Perry won their first Awards for Single of the Year for “If I Die Young” and New Artist of the Year. Kimberly Perry claimed an additional trophy for Song of the Year for penning the hit song. Kenny Chesney and Grace Potter won for Music Video of the Year. Lady Antebellum picked up their third trophy for Vocal Group of the Year, and Sugarland won Vocal Duo of the Year for the fifth time.

Swift won the Horizon Award (now New Artist of the Year) in 2007 and was named Entertainer of the Year for the first time in 2009.

“One of my favorite things about this year is all the camaraderie between all these artists that I could call and say, ‘Hey, do you want to come sing with me?’” said Swift. “And there were more artists who showed up just out of the goodness of their heart and came out and performed for the fans at my shows.”

She then read out all the names of people who had performed with her, written on her hand, and ended by exclaiming, “You have made my year! Thank you so much!”

“The 45th Annual CMA Awards” was hosted for the fourth time by Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood and broadcast live from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on ABC.
