Like any proud husband, hockey player Mike Fisher was by wife Carrie Underwood's side at Wednesday night's CMT Music Awards.
But the five-time nominee's clearly not the only country crooner to whom Fisher was showing some support.
As Underwood, 29, accepted her first win of the night with Brad Paisley for their sultry single "Remind Me" (in the collaborative video of the year category), her duet partner seemed to have a new No. 1 fan.

Here's a twist on a knickers tradition.
Luke Bryan won big when he was honored at Wednesday's CMT Music Awards for his hit "I Don't Want This Night to End."
But one fan took home a prize of another sort. Yes, instead of a music star getting pelted on stage with underwear, Bryan went the other way with his.
"The first time around, I threw a jacket in the crowd," the country crooner, 35, recalled of 2010's ceremony as he accepted honors for male video of the year. "Well, I found out it was a very expensive jacket. So, I thought I would potentially one day throw something a little cheaper."

Tim McGraw Picks Up a Gun (and Takes Aim) for Charity
Originally posted 06/06/2012 01:15PM
It was a gorgeous, slightly breezy day in Nashville. There was a breakfast buffet stocked with muffins and fruit set up – and the sound of gunfire crackled loudly in the air.
Turns out, Tim McGraw had a specific target in mind.
"I'm going to take out Luke Bryan," the country superstar, and host of the charity Tug McGraw Celebrity Sporting Clay Shootout, said jokingly to PEOPLE Tuesday at the Nashville Gun Club. "He's a Georgia boy, and I'm a Louisiana boy, so I've got an advantage right off."
"But I'm a little rusty, so I'm aiming for Luke's foot," McGraw, slated to hit the road this weekend on his summer tour with Kenny Chesney, continued. "I think if I can take him out, I've got it."
