Carrie Underwood, Garth Brooks and More Appear in First CMA Awards Promo Clip
"It lives inside all of us. It makes us feel alive. The heart of country music," Keith Urban says in the clip.
“Country Music’s Biggest Night” is just weeks away and with the anticipation building, the Country Music Association has just released the first promo for this year’s CMA Awards.
The clip features several nominees, like Garth Brooks, Kelsea Ballerini, and Keith Urban, as well as longtime hosts Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood, and sifts through images of things like a Hank Williams., Jr. “Bocephus” shirt, a Johnny Cash vinyl, Loretta Lynn’s guitar, and pictures of former winners and nominees. The short video follows each of the acts as they meander through different rooms of an abandoned house as the eerie tune of Brooks’ “Thunder Rolls” plays in the background.
Collectively, the artists speak of the metaphorical beating heart of country music and how it beats inside each of them.
