In early October, country music superstar Miranda Lambert was already thinking ahead to the 2019 CMA Awards and took to social media to break down her thoughts on who should snag the 2019 CMA Awards Entertainer of the Year honor. She went though each nominee and gave her own two cents on each candidate. Check out her thoughts via Instagram below!
“Keith- a friend and a hero of mine. He took me on tour in 2005. The first big tour I ever got to be part of. He belived in me when I was a baby artist and I will be forever grateful.
Garth – In Pieces. My first cassette tape I bought with my own money from doing chores. My first concert, Texas stadium 1993. The beginning of a twinkle in my eye. It was life changing.
Eric -one of the best songwriters of all time in my opinion. He turns a phrase like no other. I’ve had the pleasure of writing with him and he is someone that will push say something in a different way.
Chris- the kind of voice & songwriting that makes you want to quit, and work harder. A sound that can’t be beat. Period.
Carrie- The Entertainer Of The Year. Because… Currently being on tour with all female artists, I’ve been thinking a lot about all the work that goes into what we do. The most amazing job in the world. But it ain’t for the faint of heart. @carrieunderwood is on an all female tour too. The Cry Pretty Tour 360. She put out her first single in 2005 and from then on country music was changed for good. That iconic voice has been classin’ up our stages, charts and televisions for a decade and a half. The Voice. The legs. The songs. The brand. The mom. The wife. The okie. The Jesus lover. The blonde bombshell that is Carrie. She blows me away every time I hear her sing. She never wavers in who she is or what she stands for. She has stayed true & pushed herself to be better. If you have never heard her sing “How Great Thou Art” do yourself a favor and listen. I have her back in this picture and I’ll always have her back. So for the sake of sequins, spanx and spray tans, take it home! You Carrie the torch! 😉#Carrieon #EOTY”
While Miranda had nothing but good things to say about 2019 CMA Awards Entertainer of the Year nominees Keith Urban, Garth Brooks, Eric Church, and Chris Stapleton— she is 100 percent backing Carrie Underwood for the big win. She even continued to campaign for Carrie while being interviewed by Kix Brooks of American Country Countdown. Watch Carrie’s reaction to hearing Miranda Lambert’s support on The Ty Bentli Show below!
