Tonight may be Country Music’s Biggest Night, but this morning was Country Music’s Biggest Morning as three country acts are already big CMA Awards winners.

Good Morning America revealed winners in two CMA Awards categories this morning while broadcasting live from the plaza of Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena.

Taking home the CMA for Musical Event of the Year is Keith Urban and Eric Church for their chart-topping duet, “Raise ‘Em Up.” The song is featured on Urban’s latest album, Fuse.

Hot new country duo Maddie & Tae is taking home their very first CMA Award today, with a win in the Music Video of the Year Category for their hilarious “Girl In A Country Song” video. The video, which was directed by TK McKamy, pokes fun at bro-country sterotypes. Re-live the fun below.

The 49th Annual CMA Awards, hosted for the 8th time by Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood, will air live from Bridgestone Arena TONIGHT on ABC!
