Dierks Bentley introduced his friend Miranda Lambert for her fiery performance of “Little Red Wagon.” She went on to win Best Country Album for Platinum. Keith Urban took the stage to introduce Eric Church‘s performance of the Grammy-nominated hit, “Give Me Back My Hometown.” Best New Artist nominee Brandy Clark teamed up with Dwight Yoakam for an acoustic performance of “Hold My Hand” from her album, 12 Stories.
A few country stars walked away with awards presented during the pre-telecast ceremony Sunday afternoon in Los Angeles.
Carrie Underwood won the Best Country Solo Performance award for “Something in the Water,” and The Band Perry took the Best Country Duo/Group Performance category for “Gentle on My Mind.” That song is featured on the soundtrack of the Glen Campbell documentary, I’ll Be Me. Glen shared the Best Country Song Grammy with his co-writer Julian Raymond for “I’m Not Gonna Miss You.” The song was also featured in I’ll Be Me and is the last song Glen ever recorded. That song is nominated for the Best Original Song award at the Oscars coming up February 22.
Hunter Hayes and Rosanne Cash were among the presenters in the pre-telecast ceremony.
