- 12 years ago
Country star Carrie Underwood scores big at the Country Music Television Awards.
The former American Idol winner walked away with the video of the year trophy for her hit "Good Girl" and shared honors with Brad Paisley for best collaborative video.
SOUNDBITE: Carrie Underwood, singer, saying (English):
"Did you see my husband hug him first?"
Other big prizes in the evening went to Jason Aldean, who won the CMT performance of the year award for "Tattoos on This Town".
Miranda Lambert picked up an award for best female video of the year and also teamed up with her Pistol Annies crew to perform "Takin' Pills".
While Willie Nelson sang his comical ode to marijuana - "Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die" with Tobey Keith, The Zac Brown Band, and Darius Rucker.
But it was the last performance that had the crowd rocking.
Rock legends Journey teamed up with Rascall Flatts to close the show with the classic hit "Don't Stop Believin'".
The CMT Music Awards are now in their eleventh year and celebrate the best country music videos.
