Dakota Bradley
Oh, no, dude -- the MTV awards are NEXT weekend. Although any night's all right for a air-brushed Willie Nelson tribute, OBVIOUSLY.
Easton Corbin
"Easton Corbin" is a total soap opera name. I appreciate that he decided to go Full Lawrence Welk last night, and that's not even sarcasm. I seriously do appreciate that someone would be all, "hell YES light blue three piece suit. We are DOING THIS."
Joey Martin Feek; Rory Lee Feek
Yes, I guess these overalls are his signature. Which is at least convenient when you get home from your big fancy awards show and still need to feed the cows, I guess?
Kip Moore
I can't believe I am saying this, but at least the dude in the overalls was trying!
Tim McGraw
I secretly love Tim McGraw and I guess that's not a secret anymore.
Colin Kaepernick
Meanwhile, 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick is all, "you want me to come to the CMAs?!? Oh. Oh, okay. I'll guess come to that one, too. DON'T WRITE A SONG ABOUT ME TAYLOR."
Jason Aldean
For some reason, Jason Aldean's posture on the red carpet always makes him look like he's wearing Man-Spanx.
Keith Urban
OH KEITH. I know it's a country event but there is no call for a TOTALLY DENIM SUIT. Was Nicole gone for the weekend? Your highlights look fresh, though.
LL Cool J
Everywhere LL Cool J goes, he just looks like LL Cool J.
Jake Owen
I kind of find this entire ensemble entertaining in a Gosling-ish way, as we said when we covered it for The Cut. That being said, Jake here was on Watch What Happens Live a couple of months ago and I thought he was kind of obnoxious (among other things, there was a subtext of DUDE HEY I'M NOT GAY running through some of his behavior, which is unnecessary) so....I'm not that kindly disposed to him in general.
Hunter Hayes
Hunter Hayes is cute.
Luke Bryan
I can work with this.
Scotty McCreery
I can also work with this if I pretend his pants are just a hair longer. I never watched the Scotty McCreery season of American Idol, but he seems like a genial fellow.
Thomas Rhett
He looks like a cute scuffy dude in your office that you kind of have a crush on.
Dustin Lynch
Dustin Lynch, bless him, is basically all, "IT'S COUNTRY MUSIC LET'S DO THIS." I appreciate a commitment to theme.
