Country Music Television Awards, le nomination

I pezzi grossi del genere ovviamente ci sono tutti, come pure un outsider di peso. I nomi di Serie A del country che hanno ricevuto nomination ai Country Music Television (CMT) Awards sono i soliti sospetti, e cioé Lady Antebellum, Carrie Underwood, Rascal Flatts e Taylor Swift; l'outsider è un certo Justin Bieber, tirato dentro per i capelli sulla base di una sua collaborazione ("That should be me") con il trio dei Rascal Flatts dell'Ohio. Conducono la danza delle nomimination, con tre menzioni, Lady Antebellum, Taylor e i Flatts. A quota due c'è la Underwood. Assegnazione dei premi il prossimo 8 giugno a Nashville, Tennessee.
