The 46th Annual CMA awards had more twists and turns than a daytime TV soap and I'm referring to Miranda Lambert's female vocalist win, Blake's Male Vocalist win, and wait Blake Entertainer of The Year?, as the most shocking award recipient of the evening. Little Big Town was everyone's favorite of the night wining both Vocal Group of The Year and Single of The Year for their multi platinum hit "Pontoon". Those were well deserved wins for Little Big Town. Eric Church won for Album of The Year for his critically acclaimed Chief album. Miranda Lambert brought everyone to tears,myself especially for the song she and husband Blake Shelton wrote "Over You" that won Song of The Year, it meant the most to them.
