In light of the
2008 Country Music Award Nominations being announced today (Kenny Chesney leads the pack with 11, way to go, cowboy!), I thought we could take a look back on some of the fashion faux pas' committed in the past.
Before we start, I want to say just one thing -- country music fans, don't kill me! I am one of your own kind! I love country music. I just don't love the clothes that the country singers wear to award shows. Just because you sing country, doesn't mean you have to dress like a country bumpkin.
Today, when the nominations were announced, I got all excited. Watching the show is always a blast. I enjoy hearing all the great voices singing live, and seeing what ridiculous outfit Shania Twain will show up in. For some reason everyone at the CMA's dresses like they're going to high school prom.
Have a look back with me and see what I'm talking about. Beautiful Jewel had some serious boob wonkage. Dwight Yokam came dressed as a stylish school shooter who stole a purple velvet scarf from his mom's closet and then later changed into a coat he borrowed from Elvis. Gretchen Wilson came disguised as Lindsay Lohan while Kid Rock (why was he even there?) decided not to shower before the event. Even the normally delightful Carrie Underwood wore a dress, that while not totally horrendous, was not quite totally flattering either.
Browse through the gallery, reminisce, and then tell me you're not excited for the red carpet disasters that this year's CMA's are sure to bring.
