Awkward… We’ve seen our fair share of awkward moments from the CMA Awards over the years. Some of them are awkward because the performers or presenters go rogue, like when Alan Jackson pulled off his protest performance of George Jones’ “Choices” after producers tried to cut George’s performance time. But those usually just end up being awkward for the producers who got called out on their own show. Then you have the moments that are awkward for the audience because they’re so incredibly cringey. You can throw pretty much every joke Luke Bryan’s made during his time as host into this category, along with the forced country/pop collabs that you know are only in there because the network thinks it will help their ratings. (It never helps their ratings. But keep trying, I’m sure it’ll work next time). And then you have these little behind-the-scenes stories about awkward moments between the guests, and they might be some of my favorite stories from the awards shows. Of course one thing that happens when you have shows like the CMA Awards is that celebrities from outside of country music come in and have to try to act like they’re there because they’re big fans of country music. Like when Ashton Kutcher put on a cowboy hat and butchered a George Strait song at the ACM Awards back in 2012. But when they don’t really know anything about country music, you can have these hilariously awkward situations like the one between Blake Shelton and Tim Allen at the 2012 CMA Awards. To set the scene a little bit, actor Tim Allen was at the awards show to present the award for Entertainer of the Year alongside Reba McEntire. His new television show, Last Man Standing, had debuted on ABC the previous year, so I assume the network thought the awards show was a good way to promote another one of their shows instead of actually getting another country artist to present the night’s biggest award. But anyway, Blake Shelton was one of the biggest stars in country music at the time, and was nominated for Entertainer of the Year along with Male Vocalist of the Year, Single of the Year, and Song of the Year for “Over You,” which he had written with his then-wife, Miranda Lambert. That’s an important point in this whole story: Blake and Miranda were obviously still married, and were quite the power couple in country music at the time. Well Tim Allen was seated behind Blake during the awards show, and the two got to chatting during the show when a hot blonde singer comes on stage. But Tim, who clearly doesn’t know much about country music, has no idea that Blake and Miranda are married. Tim told the story of the awkward conversation that followed during an appearance on The Ellen Degeneres Show: “I’m watching right behind Blake Shelton, who wouldn’t move, and he’s the largest man on the planet, I can’t see anything. I’m actually irritated with the guy. He turns around I happened to a fan of that show ‘The Voice,’ and I happen to be of his on that show so we started a conversation.” Here’s where it gets awkward: “Then a woman comes up, and you probably know this, and everybody else knows it, but I didn’t know this… Miranda Lambert. So she’s up there rocking out with the crazy one, some song about her being nuts and tattoos and booze. I was like, ‘I love this woman’ and he turns around and says ‘Boy, I’d love to tap that’ and I said ‘Me too!’ And then I get that look. And he goes, ‘That’s my wife!’ And like a comic I said, ‘Let me finish…’ So we haven’t spoken since… but she’s really good.” Yikes. Well to make things even more awkward, Tim Allen would go on to present the Entertainer of the Year award that night to…Blake Shelton. After telling him that he wanted to f*ck his wife. Hilarious. Maybe that’s why the CMA Awards should invite actual country music artists and fans instead of random celebrities. But then again we wouldn’t get awkward moments like this if they did. The 2025 CMA Awards will be held November 19 at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. Lainey Wilson will be hosting the show solo this year, with performances from artists like Luke Combs, Ella Langley, Zach Top, Stephen Wilson Jr., Megan Moroney, Shaboozey, and BigXthaPlug. 2025 CMA Awards Nominees Entertainer of the Year Morgan Wallen Luke Combs Lainey Wilson Cody Johnson Chris Stapleton Album of the Year Am I Okay? – Megan Moroney Producer: Kristian Bush Mix Engineer: Justin Niebank Cold Beer & Country Music – Zach Top Producer: Carson Chamberlain Mix Engineer: Matt Rovey F-1 Trillon – Post Malone Producers: Louis Bell, Charlie Handsome, Hoskins Mix Engineer: Ryan Gore I’m The Problem – Morgan Wallen Producers: Jacob Durrett, Charlie Handsome, Joey Moi Mix Engineers: Charlie Handsome, Joey Moi Whirlwind – Lainey Wilson Producer: Jay Joyce Mix Engineers: Jason Hall, Jay Joyce Male Vocalist of the Year Chris Stapleton Morgan Wallen Luke Combs Cody Johnson Zach Top Female Vocalist of the Year Lainey Wilson Ella Langley Megan Moroney Kelsea Ballerini Miranda Lambert Vocal Group of the Year Old Dominion The Red Clay Strays Little Big Town Lady A Rascal Flatts Vocal Duo of the Year Brooks & Dunn Dan + Shay Brothers Osborne The War and Treaty Maddie & Tae Single of the Year “4X4XU” – Lainey Wilson Producer: Jay Joyce Mix Engineers: Jason Hall, Jay Joyce “Ain’t No Love In Oklahoma” – Luke Combs Producers: Luke Combs, Chip Matthews, Jonathan Singleton Mix Engineer: Chip Matthews “Am I Okay?” – Megan Moroney Producer: Kristian Bush Mix Engineer: Justin Niebank “I Never Lie” – Zach Top Producer: Carson Chamberlain Mix Engineer: Mat Rovey “You Look Like You Love Me” – Ella Langley ft.

Solid gold. These days, you don’t have to look very far to find some of the best country and southern rock groups. In a way, it’s all the rage with the likes of Koe Wetzel, Treaty Oak Revival, The Red Clay Strays, 49 Winchester, Southall and more all existing at various intersections of the two genres to great success. While you can’t go wrong with any of the aforementioned groups, there’s arguably no one doing it better right now than Whiskey Myers. It should go without saying that they’ve been one of the forefathers of this modern southern rock renaissance we’ve seen pop up over the past few years, beginning all the way back in 2011 with their debut album, Firewater, which features their smash hit, “Broken Window Serenade” as well as other career staples such as “Ballad Of A Southern Man” and “Virginia.” 2025, in particular, has been quite a big year for the East Texas band. After a three-year album hiatus, they returned with the release of arguably their most genre-pushing project to date, the Jay Joyce-produced Whomp Whack Thunder, which not only drew high praise from fans and critics alike but also produced career-best tracks such as “Rowdy Days” and “Icarus.” With the year coming to a close, Whiskey Myers decided to give fans one last set of full-band concerts over the weekend at their very own festival, Moon Crush Whiskey Moon in Miramar Beach, Florida. Featuring the likes of Charley Crockett, Josh Meloy, Shane Smith & the Saints, Stephen Wilson Jr. and more, the three-day festival notably featured two different sets from Cody Cannon and Co. Their performance on Friday night, in particular, was one for the ages, with the band delivering a full cover set filled to the brim with classic and southern rock tracks throughout the night. View this post on Instagram If you have any familiarity with Cannon’s vocal ability and the band’s sheer talent in general, the prospect of them delivering a full cover set of classic rock should have sent immediate shivers down your spine. With that being said, however, I don’t think anyone was quite prepared for just how phenomenal it would truly be. Simply put, Whiskey Myers put on an absolute masterclass on the shores of Miramar Beach. Covering everything from the Rolling Stones’ “Gimme Shelter” and “Jumpin’ Jack Flash” to Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “That Smell” and “Gimme Back My Bullets,” Cannon and Co. kept the classics coming at an incredibly high rate. Not to be outdone, however, they would also treat fans to covers of Fleetwood Mac’s “The Chain,” The Beatles’ “With a Little Help from My Friends,” The White Stripes’ “Seven Nation Army” and Tom Petty’s “I Won’t Back Down.” And all I can say is, “WOW.” It’s no secret that Whiskey Myers has remained one of the premier bands in the country/southern rock scene for well over a decade at this point, but it’s safe to say that this is one of the standout moments from them as of late. Flawlessly covering the likes of all these songs is no easy task, especially on complex songs such “Gimme Shelter” and “The Chain,” but they stepped up to the plate here in Florida. In particular, Cannon’s vocals are simply through the roof throughout the set of performances, hitting impressive notes along with the band’s phenomenal backup vocalists.
