Farce the Music: Carrie Underwood

Top 10 Things to Expect for Tonight's CMT Awards

10. Social media going nuts on how good Carrie looks after having a baby/Social media

going nuts over people saying how good Carrie looks after having

a baby/Shaming/Anti-Shaming/Shame-Shaming

9. A joke about tomatoes within the first five minutes

8. David Spade as Joe Dirt being one of the most actually country things/persons on the show

7. Shitheads, douchebags, assholes, and other various and sundry vulgarities

6. The continued assumption that because 25 year olds have rap, EDM, rock, pop, and country on their phones (because certainly, people as old as me couldn't possibly have varied tastes and access to modern technology), they'd like to hear all these genres at the same time

5. The wildly entertaining spectacle of a Russian fellow pushing buttons on stage

4. Cross-promotion, cross-promotion, and more cross-promotion

3. Sam Hunt looking happy and confident because he truly

isn't the least country act on the show for a change

2. Awards handed out for something called "videos" - apparently these are recorded visual representations or performances of songs, and it seems CMT once showed these frequently

1. Two creepy bastards performing a song about boomboxes and Alabama

(and trucks, hotties, dirt roads, and drinking)

CMAs 2014: Snarky Twitter Wrap-Up

Good news: Kacey Musgraves won, Strait sang, Garth was there, Vince was honored, The Band Perry covered Glen Campbell pretty righteously (and there were a few other highlights).

Bad news: Luke Bryan won entertainer of the year, FGL won something or other...

Here's a somewhat-in-order but not really snarky Twitter recap of the night's proceedings.

Thanks for your help!
