2013 CMA Awards

The 2013 CMA Awards drew the biggest audience in four years! The three-hour Nov. 6 broadcast brought 16.6 million people that tuned in to see a night full of country music's biggest stars.

You may have noticed that Kacey Musgraves' voice went silent for a couple of seconds during the 2013 CMA Awards on Wednesday night (Nov. 6). The singer was censored three times during her performance of "Follow Your Arrow." Musgraves' song includes the lyric "roll up a joint," and the network took the time to drop her mic during the line...

We lost the Possum, George Jones -- who is considered one of the greatest country singers ever, if not the greatest country singer ever -- earlier this year. Of course, the 2013 CMA Awards paid tribute to the legend, with Alan Jackson and George Strait performing a duet of 'He Stopped Loving Her Today,' which is Jones' most recognizable and beloved song.

Most of the artists who make the 2013 CMA Awards Worst Dressed list would have benefitted from a quick look in the mirror before stepping out. "Disheveled" is how one could describe a few of these five stars. Suits that don't fit and gowns fit for a first trip to your future mother-in-law's house get noticed for all the wrong reasons. Please, don't try this at home.

There were a few risks, but most of the best dressed country stars at the 2013 CMA Awards leaned traditional on Wednesday night (Nov. 6). Despite the cold and damp forecast, leading ladies opted for sleeveless gowns, while the men went with dark suits and thin neckties (Although, you will find one bow tie on this list). Take a look before checking out the worst dressed from country music's biggest

Two scoops of Florida Georgia Line, a pinch of Taylor Swift and heaps of rock-inspired country music turned performances at the 2013 CMA Awards into one surprise after another.

George Strait, the King of Country, reigned supreme at the 2013 CMA Awards, nabbing the coveted Entertainer of the Year trophy. The legend, who is retiring from active touring next year, was truly surprised by the win, but we weren't. It's doubtful that any of the country superstars at the ceremony were shocked by his win, either.

Luke Bryan brought a stirring rendition of his brand new single 'Drink a Beer' to the 2013 CMA Awards, and was a song -- and performance -- won't be easily forgotten.

Jennifer Nettles introduced the Kenny Rogers tribute at the 2013 CMA Awards (Nov. 6). Rogers was honored with the Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award, but before he received his trophy, he enjoyed modern acts performing a medley of his songs before joining him in song.

Darius Rucker had the privilege of closing out the 2013 CMA Awards with his hit 'Wagon Wheel,' perfectly completing the country-filled evening with the classic.

The Zac Brown Band used the 2013 CMA Awards to debut a brand new song, 'Day for the Dead' with Foo Fighter's singer, Dave Grohl on drums.

'Nashville' stars Connie Britton and Chip Esten took the 2013 CMA Awards stage to present the Female Vocalist of the Year award to the one and only Miranda Lambert.
