I know Megan Patrick, uh, Mitchell Tenpenny's wife, Megan Patrick.

Uh, Jamie Johnson was there last year.

A few others.

They go on and on from Nashville.

Even Canada, Megan Patrick, and all these great ladies-

Oh, yeah

... doing their thing.

But I mean, I was saying some fun stuff before, but it's just different now.

I think, you know, I saw Megan Patrick recently.

posting about how she's worried about having a baby and losing her momentum.

And I commented, I said, honey, you're about to open yourself up to a whole new group of women that you didn't appeal to before now.

Like, I'd rather sit there and be like, okay, I went to this concert.

I saw, okay, Megan Patrick.

And I'm watching a video that I took and I'm listening to it.

I can hear the imperfections that were in that show.

Highlight of the night was singers Sasha, Madeline Merlot, Brett Kissel, and Tyler Joe Miller paying musical tribute to the late Dolly Parton.

Other winners include Megan Patrick for best female artist and Sully Burrows for breakthrough performer.
