It wasn\u2019t their first CMT Music Awards<\/em>.<\/p>\n

It wasn\u2019t their last CMT Music Awards<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The moment that is the most memorable for Little Big Town from the CMT Music Awards \u2014 a show they\u2019ve been part of since about 2006, when their major-label debut \u201cBoondocks\u201d was nominated for duo\/group video of the year \u2014 was the year they performed their 2012 release, \u201cPontoon.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was walking up to the stage to perform \u2019Pontoon,’\u201d the band\u2019s Phillip Sweet told us backstage. \u201cWe had sunglasses on as props, and it was dark backstage, and I stepped off and I fell. Two big dudes picked me up. It knocked the wind out of me.\u201d<\/p>\n

That year, before that fall, Sweet had talked about what he loved most about the show. \u201cI think the fact that CMT Music Awards<\/em> are voted for by fans is one of the coolest things, because it just allows them to speak and give their expression of who they love and who they want to see. It makes it a lot of fun for us,\u201d he said, \u201cbecause we never know until it happens.\u201d<\/p>\n
