Country music awards telecasts always represent an opportunity for veteran and emerging country acts to become the talk of the entertainment world for a day or two, and this year’s Country Music Television Awards represented no exception. They may not carry the prestige of other awards in the genre, but as a chance to highlight the year in country music videos and feature standout performances, they still get acts on the radar.<\/p>\n
Leading the post-show buzz is Luke Bryan, who performed “Country Girl (Shake it for Me)” on the show. As of 2AM Thursday, the country act was still the top-searched term on Google, according to the engine’s Trends website.<\/p>\n
Following closely behind at number two on the chart is Jason Aldean, who was joined by Ludacris for a duet of “Dirt Road Anthem.”<\/p>\n
The Band Perry and Sugarland always reap the buzz benefits of country music awards shows, and things were no different this time around. Both acts won awards Tuesday; The Band Perry, sitting at fourth, also performed their mash-up of Eminem\/Rihanna’s “Love the Way You Lie” with their own “You Lie,” while fifth-ranked Sugarland performed “Stand Up.”<\/p>\n
Also charting post-show are host Kid Rock (#6), Zac Brown Band (#8) and Sheryl Crow (#14).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"\n
