BACKSTAGE BUZZ FROM THE COUNTRY MUSIC AWARDS

Carrie Underwood on winning Entertainer of the Year: "It’s indescribable, to be quite honest. And I can’t wait til the day, which I hope is in the very near future, where having females in the category is no big deal whatsoever. And I would like to say that, I mean, I accept award on behalf of myself and my fans, but I also think I accept it on behalf of all the other women that came before me that kicked butt, that never got the recognition that they deserved and behalf, on behalf of their fans as well."
