2013 cma awards

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.

The third time is usually the charm in life and superstition, but not for Blake Shelton -- unless, of course, we're speaking solely about his wins as a coach on 'The Voice.' For Shelton and his personal career, four is the magic number, as the singer picked up the Male Vocalist of the Year Award at the 2013 CMA Awards.

Wearing a black t-shirt with an image of Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, Brad Paisley brought pizzaz to the 2013 CMAs stage with, of course, 'The Mona Lisa.'

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.

Little Big Town aren't just a great country group, they're now the Vocal Group of the Year, receiving the prestigious award at the 2013 CMA Awards.

Co-host Carrie Underwood kept herself very busy during the 47th Annual CMA Awards -- when she took a break from hosting, she performed not one, but four of her hits in a medley.

If for some reason you need further proof that Taylor Swift is a class act, you needn't look any further than her Pinnacle Award acceptance speech at the 2013 CMA Awards on Wednesday (Nov. 6).

It certainly wouldn't be a country music awards show without a performance from the popular Blake Shelton. He brought 'Mine Would Be You' from his album 'Based on a True Story ...' to the 2013 CMA Awards stage Wednesday.

The Band Perry is always entertaining onstage, and at the 2013 CMA Awards, they lit up the stage -- literally -- with their new single 'Don't Let Me Be Lonely.'

Eric Church played his brand new single 'The Outsiders' for the very first time during the 2013 CMA Awards on Wednesday. Church looked a little different without a hat, but the country boy added some rock to his outfit with a pair of aviators.

Taylor Swift turned in an all-star, acoustic version of the title track from 2012's 'Red' at the 2013 CMA Awards. She was joined by Alison Krauss and Vince Gill for this customized, slowed down and (likely) one-time-only version of her love-gone-wrong song.
