Awesomeness Attracts Awesomeness: It’s a Law of Nature
Now we don’t like to brag, nevermind yes we do, and we are going to. Because SIX of the upcoming performers at the Kentucky State Fair in August are nominated for a CMT Music Award. Most are nominated for MORE than one award and THREE are performing at the awards show itself!
The handsome and ever-charming Jason Aldean is nominated for Video of the Year, Male Video of the Year and Web Video of the Year for “My Kinda Party”. A song he wrote about being at the Kentucky State Fair. Okay, that may not be true, but we like to act like he did.
Aldean’s opening act for the fair, Thompson Square made-out with two nominations: Duo Video of the Year and USA Weekend Breakthrough Video of the Year for “Are you Gonna Kiss Me or Not”. Get it, made-out?
Lady Antebellum, the talented trio who formed in our neighbor state to the south is nominated for Video of the Year and Group Video of the Year for “Hello World” and Web Video of the Year for “Stars Tonight”. Both are great, so if you haven’t seen them, you should probably go do that, as soon as you’re done exploring our blog, of course:

Lee Brice, who is performing with Lady A at the Fair, is standing on his own at the CMT Music Awards with a nomination in the USA Weekend Breakthrough Video of the Year for “Love Like Crazy”. It’s a beautiful song, and it’s pretty good advice too!
Speaking of loving like crazy, Luke Bryan is nominated for Nationwide Insurance’s On Your Side Award, given to the best new live act. The award is voted on by fans, so if you do love Luke Bryan like crazy, get on CMT. com and vote for him. We don’t think it will violate the restraining order? Bryan is also nominated for Web Video of the Year for his fun summer jam “Shore Thing”.
Another of our Main Stage performers, Train, an unlikely group to associate with the Country Music Awards, has also snatched a nomination. Maybe they are trying to bond with some other performers before the Fair? Train is nominated for CMT Performance of the Year for their performance with Martina McBride on CMT Crossroads.
Jason Aldean, Lady Antebellum and Luke Bryan will also have live performances during the award’s show. But nothing is quite the same as seeing them live so make sure to catch them and other amazing artists when they come to the Fair in August. Once again, not bragging, but where else can you see all these great concerts in the same week at the same place! Nowhere. We’ve looked.
