2015 CMA Award Winners, and a few Random Thoughts

Congratulations to the 2015 CMA Award winners from last nights show. Plus a few random thoughts from last night's BnB Show online chat session.

Little Big Town's song 'Girl Crush' won 'Single and Song of the Year'. LBT won for Single of the Year, and songwriters of “Girl Crush” actually win for Song of the Year. Lori McKenna, Hillary Lindsey and Liz Rose accepted. Later Little Big Town won the Vocal Group of the Year Award.

Luke Bryan snagged the coveted Entertainer of the Year honors.

Some of the other highlights included Carrie Underwood singing her latest song release, Smoke Break (Watch).

Chris Stapleton and Justin Timberlake brought a little, okay a lot of, soul to the 2015 CMA Awards with their performances (Watch).

And we can not forget Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood's CMA Awards opening monologue (Watch).

We'd like to thank everyone who joined us on Facebook for our annual CMA Awards Show chat session & drinking game. We feel bad for Tripp 'The Dog' Doren becoming the first 'loser' in that game.

We have a few more of our favorite posts below the winners list.
