Carrie Underwood has once again graced the red carpet at the 2023 CMT Music Awards held at Austin, Texas’ Moody Center in a bedazzled two-piece outfit, stealing the spotlight among other stunning celebrities. The country music star is not only one of the performers at the show but also a nominee for two awards – Video of the Year and Female Video of the Year. If she wins both awards, she will break her own record of holding the most CMT wins with 25 and have 27 under her belt.
Carrie Underwood’s appearance and potential record-breaking wins
Underwood’s appearance was highly anticipated by her fans, and she did not disappoint. She shone in a silver rhinestone-covered ensemble with a cropped coat featuring an epic train and dazzling shorts that highlighted her toned legs. She styled her long blonde locks in a low ponytail and accessorized with diamond earrings and glitzy jewels on her fingers.
Underwood has won video of the year twice before at CMT Music Awards, with “Good Girl” in 2012 and “Blown Away” in 2013. This year, she is nominated for “Hate My Heart” as well as female video of the year for “Ghost Story.”
Carrie Underwood’s preparation for CMT Music Awards
Underwood’s success is not only due to her natural talent but also her dedication to preparation. Her stylist, Emma Trask, worked hard to create over 20 different looks over two months as part of Underwood’s REFLECTION show in Las Vegas, which features costumes that are full of sparkles and pizzazz.
Underwood’s husband, Mike Fisher, took care of their two sons while she prepared for the event. “I’m excited to celebrate my fans and just have some fun,” said Underwood as she shared her excitement for the show.
Carrie Underwood’s wins in previous CMT Music Awards
Underwood’s CMT Music Awards history is impressive. She won both Female Video of the Year and Breakthrough Video of the Year in 2006 after winning American Idol. In 2007, she won two awards for Female Video of the Year and Video of the Year for “Before He Cheats.”
In 2010, she surprised everyone with a rare ensemble of leather pants and lace-up boots when she won two awards. Over the years, Underwood’s style has evolved, and she now embraces her figure in tighter-fit clothing that showcases her dedication to a healthy lifestyle through her gym-honed physique.
