The Band Perry and Jason Aldean as the big winners at Country music association awards

Jason Aldean and the band Perry were seen as the big winners at the Country Music association awards in Nashville, Tennessee on Wednesday, 9^th November. Amongst the names of the country music’s biggest night were Taylor Swift, and Glen Campbell who is almost at the ending of his staggering 50-year career after claiming that he is suffering from Alzheimer’s disease.

The band Perry won two awards for the single of the year for “If I Die Young,” and best new artist. Kimberly Perry won song of the year for that tune. The band comprising of Brothers Reid and Neil Perry and Sister Kimberly hit the road in the year 2010 with their debut album.

A 34-old entertainer Aldean attained his first ever CMA accolade after a staggering breakthrough year and a sell-out tour. Aldean’s “My Kinda Party” was awarded as the album of the year. He also got musical event of the year for his “Don’t You Wanna Stay” duet with Kelly Clarkson.

Aldean told the reporters “It’s crazy. I feel like with the success of the song that we had with Kelly I felt we had a decent shot with winning award for that song, but as far as album of the year goes, that is something that wasn’t expected at all. To pull that in was cool,”

Campbell at the age of 75 was given a standing ovation as he took the stage after he was honoured with a tribute from Vince Gill, Brad Paisley and Keith Urban, who performed a medley of his three biggest hits — “Wichita Linesman,” “Galveston” and “By the Time I Get To Phoenix”.

A youth paragon Taylor Swift, 21, was entitled with the entertainer of the year award-the CMA’s highest honour. Swift was enchanted to have the recognition for the second time in his career after clinching it in the year 2009. Swift took over the veterans like Paisley, Urban, Blake Shelton and Aldean but the “Speak Now” singer was shut out of the other categories.

Swift said “I am so happy right now. This is thanks to all those fans who filled up the stadiums this year … You have made my year, to win Entertainer of the Year twice was like the coolest thing ever happening to me, happening twice.”

The CMA awards turned out to be a wide seen platform for the country music entertainers and performers who got the best for their contribution in a rich genre.
