Wearing a black t-shirt with an image of Leonardo da Vinci's Mona Lisa, Brad Paisley brought pizzaz to the 2013 CMAs stage with, of course, 'The Mona Lisa.'
We lost the Possum, George Jones -- who is considered one of the greatest country singers ever, if not the greatest country singer ever -- earlier this year. Of course, the 2013 CMA Awards paid tribute to the legend, with Alan Jackson and George Strait performing a duet of 'He Stopped Loving Her Today,' which is Jones' most recognizable and beloved song.
Co-host Carrie Underwood kept herself very busy during the 47th Annual CMA Awards -- when she took a break from hosting, she performed not one, but four of her hits in a medley.
If for some reason you need further proof that Taylor Swift is a class act, you needn't look any further than her Pinnacle Award acceptance speech at the 2013 CMA Awards on Wednesday (Nov. 6).
It certainly wouldn't be a country music awards show without a performance from the popular Blake Shelton. He brought 'Mine Would Be You' from his album 'Based on a True Story ...' to the 2013 CMA Awards stage Wednesday.
The Band Perry is always entertaining onstage, and at the 2013 CMA Awards, they lit up the stage -- literally -- with their new single 'Don't Let Me Be Lonely.'
Eric Church played his brand new single 'The Outsiders' for the very first time during the 2013 CMA Awards on Wednesday. Church looked a little different without a hat, but the country boy added some rock to his outfit with a pair of aviators.
Taylor Swift turned in an all-star, acoustic version of the title track from 2012's 'Red' at the 2013 CMA Awards. She was joined by Alison Krauss and Vince Gill for this customized, slowed down and (likely) one-time-only version of her love-gone-wrong song.
After Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley's hilarious shoutout to Robin Thicke and Miley Cyrus, complete with a black and white striped suit and foam finger, an even more talented duo took to the stage -- Miranda Lambert and Keith Urban. And thank goodness, there was no twerking involved -- just great singing.
Three new artist nominees gathered on stage to hand out the award for Vocal Duo of the Year at the 2013 CMAs. Lee Brice, Kip Moore and Brett Eldredge stood side by side to announce the winner.
