Nevertheless, she seemed shocked to hear her name called at the end of the night. She practically skipped to the stage after being cheered on by Miranda Lambert following their dynamite performance of "Something Bad."  After accepting the fan-voted award from presenter Lionel Richie, Underwood exclaimed, "Oh my gosh, thank you so much! Fans, thank you so much! You have been awesome to me. It's really hard to believe that I have been doing this for nine years, but every single second of those nine years, you guys have been so amazing."
During her charming speech, the former American Idol champion also gave special recognition to video director Eric Welch.
"I love this song. And it had such a great message and great meaning to me. I had the idea of what I wanted to do and he made it all make sense," Underwood said. "So, thank you so much, Eric. Oh I'm so nervous! My heart's still beating really fast! God bless you guys. God bless country music and its fans. You guys are so amazing to all of us. Thank you so much. Thank you, CMT!"

The awards show was the unofficial kick-off of CMA Music Festival, which ran June 4th through Sunday June 8th attracting more than 100,000 country music fans to the streets of downtown Nashville.
The festival — like the CMT Music Awards — features many of country music's newest stars, established hit makers and country legends. The CMT Music Awards married all of those categories early in the program when Carrie Underwood, Kacey Musgraves and Lee Ann Womack came together to honor Alan Jackson with CMT's first Impact Award for his 25 years of making music videos.

Alan Jackson's night didn't end with receiving the Impact Award at the CMT Music Awards Wednesday night — he hopped across the street and played a surprise show at The Stage on Broadway. Fans were tightly wedged onto the lower level of the bar as they waited for Jackson to take the stage. They cheered and pulled out their cell phones and started snapping pictures as he entered through the front door and climbed on stage. Jackson kicked the show off with "Gone Country" and transitioned right into "Good Time" as the audience that included his wife, Denise, and fellow country singers including Kacey Musgraves, Lee Ann Womack and Eric Paslay danced and sang along - The Tennessean.com

UK.eonline (by Cinya Burton) gave their rundown of the Best & Worst Dressed Stars at the 2014 CMT Music Awards:
BEST: You know who you can usually count on to get it right on a red carpet? Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood.
Once again the blond duo didn't let us down. They are the reason we can't pick one winner from the 2014 CMT Music Awards' red carpet—we love each of their looks equally! How could anyone choose between Carrie's breathtaking floral Roberto Cavalli gown and Miranda's glittery Celia Kritharioti mini? It's not possible. So we're crowning them both.
Then, for runner-ups we select the pink ladies: Kellie Pickler, Cassadee Pope and Jana Kramer. OK, technically Kellie's dress is more of a magenta hue, but we still give her and Jana props for opting for such attention-grabbing gowns.
As for Cassadee, her Theia crop top and skirt was the perfect combo.
Prints are in at The CMT 2014 Awards

WORST: Now onto the looks that caught our eye for the wrong reasons. Really it was just an unfortunate case of unflattering prints as seen on Kimberly Schlapman, Elizabeth Cook, Kate Walsh, and Hillary Scott.
Then there was the fringe-adorned getup with gold boots that Meghan Lindsey tried to pull off, unsuccesfully we might add. And last but certainly not least, was Raelynn's princess-y frock, which, we're sorry but Tinkerbell wore it better.

Do you agree or Disagree?
Who doesn't love a night full of country music and southern style, sometimes the fashion eclipses the music!
The CMT red carpet came alive with a parade of Country’s biggest stars, the women decked out in bright, bold dresses (with plenty of sparkle) and many of the men in denim with plenty of cowboy boots to be found!
Fashion Trend: If you buy one item this summer, make it a white dress. Apparently the LWD is the go-to look right now. At least that was the case at the on the red carpet which had seven stars wearing different versions of the look.

Our Winners:
Jana “Love” Krammer absolutely Wowed and Miranda Lambert (winning the red carpet lately) again following on from the ACM’s blew us away in an absolutely perfect sparkly mini dress and her Somethin’ Good pal Carrie Underwood looked gorgeous in a patterned, cut-out gown. LeAnn Rimes brought sexy in her white-hot gown with quite the slit!
Elizabeth Cook maintains a wonderful model and runway figure with her fine physique.

A – Z red carpet order
Beth Behrs -  The ‘Two Broke Girls’ actress wore an Erin by Erin Fetherston Fall 2014 embroidered gown - Fashion Pic -
Perhaps the dress felt a bit sombre for the occasion and slightly overwhelmed her. Comment (The Mirror): Actress Beth Behrs looks like she's channeling Miss Havisham from Great Expectations in this long grey dress with lace overlay. Neck up, the 28-year-old looks fab and fresh, with her tousled blonde hair and subtle make-up. Neck down, we'd like to lock her away in a cobweb-draped Victorian mansion.

Brooklyn Decker - The actress wore an LWD by Jill Stuart styled with black pumps and black drop earrings. A a cute dress, but the styling a bit boring. The star generously signed autographs for fans on the red carpet and posed alongside six-times nominated singer Miranda Lambert.

Caroline Boyer - Luke Bryan’s gorgeous wife were among the attendees along with Jason Aldean and Brittany Kerr. Caroline donned a strapless gold studded LWD mini with open toe sandals with wavy locks and nude lippie showing off her knock out figure.

Carrie Underwood - The “Blown Away” singer thankfully didn’t opt for a sombre Fall gown, selecting a peachy fiery print Roberto Cavalli keyhole number with a sexy side slit. Moving away from frothy frocks world which she tends to favour, this was one of the best looks on the night. Styled with John Hardy jewels and a Swarovski gunmetal ‘New Power’ crystal clutch (image), she completed her look with wavy tresses (image ), a dewy pink cheek combined with her signature smokey eye make the girl-next-door look oh so chic.

Jessie admitted to her Twitter followers that she was nervous about making her first appearance since the baby, writing, "Nervous!!! First time on carpet

She clearly had nothing to worry about! The 26-year-old flaunted her curves in a simple yet sexy black, long-sleeve dress that had light draping on one side and enough of a plunge on the neckline to show off some cleavage.

Jessie’s long hair cascaded down in luxurious waves, as she highlighted her brown eyes with plenty of mascara and eyeliner.
Yes, Georgia stunner Jessie is the smokingest thing to happen to country music since Willie Nelson rolled his first joint. During the show, both Jessie and Eric changed into more casual outfits so that they could properly introduce their favorite country crooner, Jake Owen.
