Wow, Carrie Underwood is stunningly beautiful, isn't she?! I have a friend who was actually THERE and invited to an after-party. Can't wait to hear how she hobnobbed with the country stars! I told her that her assignment was to find out from Kenny Chesney what really happened with Renee Z. :-) I'll let you know what I find out! Have a great day!
I agreed with all the categories you've listed here EXCEPT KC. I am a huge KEITH URBAN fan. He's like the dreamiest. Well, him and DC ;)
