The CMT Music Awards once again belonged to Carrie Underwood, who dominated the night with three major wins — prompting fans to joke that the show should be renamed the Carrie Music Television Awards.
Held in Nashville, the ceremony marked Underwood’s fourth consecutive win for Video of the Year, thanks to her hit “Something in the Water.” She also took home Female Video of the Year and Collaborative Video of the Year for “Somethin’ Bad” with Miranda Lambert. With these victories, Underwood extended her record as the most decorated artist in CMT history, now holding 13 total awards.
During her acceptance speech, the 32-year-old star gave a heartfelt shout-out to her newborn son, Isaiah, making the night her first awards show since becoming a mother.
Other winners included Luke Bryan, who claimed Male Video of the Year, and Lady Antebellum, who won Group Video of the Year. Performances throughout the night featured Jason Aldean, Keith Urban, Reba McEntire, Florida Georgia Line, and more.
By the end of the evening, one thing was clear: once again, Carrie Underwood didn’t just attend the CMT Music Awards — she owned them.
