GRAMMY winner Keith Urban came out on top at the CMT Awards in June 7, taking home four awards for video of the year for his GRAMMY-nominated hit "Blue Ain't Your Color," male video, collaborative video, and social superstar of the year.
GRAMMY winner Carrie Underwood set a new record after winning two awards for female video of the year for "Church Bells" and collaborative video for "The Fighter." Now with a career total of 17 CMT Awards, Underwood is the highest-awarded artist in the show's history.
The record-setting duo reprised a performance of "The Fighter," which they also performed during the 59th GRAMMY Awards earlier this year.
The show included a number of collaborative genre-crossing performances, including an all-star tribute to GRAMMY winner Gregg Allman, who died May 27. Peter Frampton paired with Brothers Osborne while GRAMMY winners the Chainsmokers and Florida Georgia Line performed a pre-taped version of "Last Day Alive." Luke Bryan and Jason Derulo performed their pop hit "Want To Want Me." Recording Academy Lifetime Achievement Award recipients Earth, Wind & Fire closed the show with Lady Antelbellum with a mashup of "You Look Good" and "September."
Reflecting on his accomplishments of the evening, Urban likely captured what other artists were feeling as well.
"I love making music, I love making videos ... who knows how long you get to do it," said Urban, who also gave a special shout-out to his wife, Nicole Kidman. "I'm just trying to make a connection."
