Country music’s biggest stars were honored at the 56th annual CMA Awards Wednesday night. The star-studded show went down from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena hosted by Luke Bryan and Peyton Manning.
Lainey was a big winner taking home Female Vocalist of the Year and New Artist of the Year! A very emotional Lainey declared in one acceptance speech: “I know I’m new to a lot of folks, but I won’t let y’all all down. I promise you.”
Our favorite stars arrived in style at the 2022 CMA Awards.
It was a date night for the birthday girl Miranda Lambert. One day before her 39th birthday, she rocked the red carpet with her hot hubby Brendan McLoughlin showing off her curves in a black and pink lace dress while her man donned a classic tuxedo.
Carrie Underwood was gorgeous in a whimsical blue gown that featured a corset bodice and high-cut slit for those legs!!
Katy Perry went country wearing a denim look on the red carpet and kept it Katy-like with a big bow!
Kelsea Ballerini was a pop of color wearing Balenciaga with matching gloves channeling Kim Kardashian. MacKenzie Porter wore the same crystal blue gown, just minus the gloves. Someone’s stylist may be in trouble for letting that happen.
Carly Pearce looked angelic in white and showed off some serious cleavage and leg!
The boys cleaned up nicely. Morgan Wallen sported a maroon suit and hosts Luke Bryan and Peyton Manning looked classy in matching black tuxedos. Cody Johnson kept it country wearing denim jeans and a black cowboy hat!
