The 45th CMA Awards are coming: Backstage interviews and more rehearsals!

Hello Taylor Nation!

The 45th Annual CMA Awards are coming tomorrow, November 9! I won’t get tired of saying it but the Blonde With The Sparkly Guitar is nominated for Entertainer of the Year, Album of the Year for Speak Now, Female Vocalist of the Year, and both Song of the Year and Video of the Year for Mean.

The CMA Live Stream event will bring you three streaming feeds. You can catch the artist and celebrity CMA Awards arrivals to the red carpet, watch the pre-telecast with Laura Bell Bundy where early awards will be given out and catch the backstage press room where the media gets to interview the winners.

Here’s the Sparkly Dressed herself getting interviewed backstage for the Road to the CMA Awards:
