It&#8217;s one that&#8217;s cool to have, and then my favourite thing about this one, seven&#8217;s gonna be my favourite one because it is the seventh one but because it was on a historic night where Country music saluted women and being married to one of the greatest female singers that ever walked this planet no matter what music genre it is, and then being the father of three daughters, I like the message tonight.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Carrie Underwood, Dolly Parton and Reba McEntire hosted the 53rd annual Country Music Awards, a history-making show celebrating country generally, and a half-century of female artistry specifically.","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":6131,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_img_display":"No","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[531,36,45,1044,169,102,56,88,78,22,158,507],"class_list":["post-6130","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-country-music-news","tag-ashley-mcbryde","tag-blake-shelton","tag-carrie-underwood","tag-cma-awards","tag-dan-shay","tag-dolly-parton","tag-garth-brooks","tag-kacey-musgraves","tag-luke-combs","tag-maren-morris","tag-old-dominion","tag-reba-mcentire"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-11 08:11:05","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"react_link":"https:\/\/country959.com\/blogs\/country-music-news\/2019\/11\/garth-brooks-wins-entertainer-of-the-year-at-cma-awards\/","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6130","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6130"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6130\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6132,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6130\/revisions\/6132"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6131"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6130"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6130"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6130"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
