This is Taylor Swift's most excellent performance of "Change" followed by the Top New Artist nominees performances - that would be Gloriana, Luke Bryan, and Joey + Rory.
Here's Tim McGraw with "Still" followed by Brad Paisley's "Water."
Kenny Chesney performed "Ain't Back Yet" (it's one of the performances I missed :( But half way thru is the ASTOUNDING Laura Bell Bundy. LOVED "Giddy On Up!"
Here's Miranda's "The House That Built Me," Montgomery Gentry's touching acceptance speech for the Home Depot Humanitarian Award, and the start of Jack Ingram and Dierks Bentley on "Barbie Doll."
