Brad Paisley: Trophies Live with Mom and Dad
Originally posted 05/13/2008 12:20PM
Brad Paisley's parents might want to clear a little space in their display cabinet.
The "Letter to Me" singer could take home as many as four trophies at Sunday's Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas. And if he wins, the awards will go directly to his mom and dad.
"I like winning awards," he told the Copley News Service recently. But "I don't like reminders of the past all that much. Nor do I have time to dust or polish the statuettes, so my parents take care and display most of them at their house. Somehow they keep track of it all."

Brad Paisley Gets Emotional over Career Milestones
Originally posted 04/11/2008 03:50PM
Brad Paisley, country music's favorite jokester, choked up Thursday night at a "Perfect 10" party in Nashville in honor of his career milestones – 10 million albums sold, 10 No. 1 singles and 10 years with his label.
"This is for everyone who is here ... thank you for giving me my job," the "Ticks" singer, 35, told the crowd of 275, which included co-writers, friends and his dad, Doug. "You don't get to stand up on that stage ... and I wish you could."
With country legend Little Jimmy Dickens (a frequent sidekick in Paisley's videos) at his side, Paisley said of Nashville, "We have the best people working here." Pausing to wipe his eyes, he continued, "Sorry, I have to try to keep it together thinking of them."

UpdatePosted 11/07/2007 11:45PMBig Night for Carrie Underwood at the CMAs
Originally posted 11/07/2007 09:25PM
If 2006 was Carrie Underwood's coming-out party at the CMA Awards, 2007 solidified her place among the current greats of country music.
For the second year in a row, Underwood, 24, won two big awards in Nashville on Wednesday night, repeating as female vocalist of the year and nabbing single of the year for "Before He Cheats." (Last year, she also took the Horizon Award.)
"God had blessed me with so many wonderful things in my life, and I will spend my entire life trying to figure out why," Underwood, 24, said after beating out Reba McEntire and other veterans for the vocalist award. "If you had told me a few years ago I would have been nominated with the people that I have been nominated with, I would have called you absolutely insane."
Kenny Chesney won the top award, entertainer of the year, for the second year in a row and third time overall.
