Dozens of country stars walked the red carpet at the 2012 CMA Awards, but not everyone shined. The worst dressed at the annual awards show included a couple of Amish or pilgrim tributes -- Thanksgiving is coming up, after all -- and a jacket catastrophe. Scroll down to see the worst of the worst dressed at the 2012 CMA Awards.

The Entertainer of the Year award at the 2012 CMA Awards will provide a nervous moment, as fans for the two favorites to win couldn't be further apart in terms of interests or tastes. The trophy is meant to honor the singer with the best year of sales, music, touring and general exposure, but really it comes down to who CMA voters like best. It's not as scientific as it seems it should be, althoug

Getting excited for the 46th Annual CMA Awards? Yeah, us too (to put it lightly). This year's ceremony is set to take place on Nov. 1 on ABC. We've been marking the hours by listening to tons of music, messing around with the CMA app, and watching old clips of Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood.

As the year gets ready to wind down, Eric Church can certainly look back on 2012 and smile. While he has been at the music game for quite some time, this year was essentially the first 'break' he got in the industry -- finally embraced by the community for his incredible work as a singer, songwriter and entertainer.

When Alabama‘s Randy Owen, Jeff Cook and Teddy Gentry walked the red carpet together at last week’s CMA Awards it was as if they’d never retired. In a conversation with the Tennessean, Owen makes it sound like they’re close to retiring from retirement.

Fans watching the CMA Awards 2011 may have been puzzled when Taylor Swift looked to her arm for guidance while giving her speech as she collected the Entertainer of the Year award. So, what exactly was written on Taylor Swift’s arm at the big event?

Miranda Lambert giggled, Blake Shelton grinned, and the most famous newlyweds in Nashville said they can’t believe they won Female and Male Vocalist of the Year awards from the CMA for the second consecutive year.

Carrie Underwood dazzled viewers as the co-host of last night’s CMA Awards 2011, but it wasn’t just her humor, wit and beauty that made her striking. In just three hours time, the ‘Before He Cheats’ hitmaker modeled a heap of costume changes, switching her dress at least at every commercial break (we counted nine dresses in all).

Nashville was rocking last night with country’s biggest stars like Keith Urban, Zac Brown, Taylor Swift and Lady Antebellum providing the soundtrack for the 2011 CMA Awards!

With the CMA Awards just hours away, artists are spending the day primping and prepping to look and sound their best for tonight’s show. Trace Adkins tells Taste of Country that he doesn’t want any part of that, revealing that he’ll be skipping the awards show this year.

New footage from the 2011 CMA Awards rehearsals has emerged, featuring country’s top stars getting ready  for Wednesday’s show. Spotlights ablaze, hosts Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley warm up for their duet ‘Remind Me’ and Faith Hill prepares for the premiere of her long-awaited new single ‘Come Home’ in the video seen below.
