The show was hosted by Kid Rock, a rapping rocker with a country streak. The ceremony included appearances by Taylor Swift, Faith Hill, Tim McGraw, Reba McEntire and a host of other country stars.

“Watching you host all night, well I gotta say-you’re a natural,” Sheryl Crow told Kid Rock onstage.

“I’m actually having fun,” he replied. “I felt good at the beginning-now I feel real good, you know what I mean?” Kid Rock then slow-danced with Crow and asked her to have his baby.

Video of the year, the biggest prize of the night, went to Underwood for “Cowboy Casanova.”

“Wow! Amazing fans. Awesome, awesome, amazing, awesome, awesome,” said Underwood, accepting the award.

Miranda Lambert was the upset winner for female video of the year for “White Liar.” She beat out Underwood (”Cowboy Casanova”), Taylor Swift (”You Belong With Me”), and Reba McEntire (”Consider Me Gone”).

Keith Urban took home male video of the year for “Til Summer Comes Around.” “I want to send deepest love and prayers out to all of the families around the Gulf who are going through an insane time right now,” said Urban.

Urban and John Mayer performed a duet, exchanging licks on their electric guitars as they played a version of Urban’s song “Hit the Ground.”

In what has become an expected practice at country awards shows, throughout the ceremony there were numerous shots of Urban’s wife, actress Nicole Kidman, in the audience.

Underwood took home the prize for CMT performance of the year for “Temporary Home” from her CMT special, “Invitation Only: Carrie Underwood”; Brooks & Dun won duo video of the year for “Indian Summer”; and Lady Antebellum won for group video of the year.
