We are too, and while we are still processing a night full of incredible performances and moments, there are a few that we just can\u2019t stop thinking about.<\/p>\n<p>Here are five unforgettable moments from the show we cannot let you miss:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"listicle-container\">\n<li>\n<div class=\"heading-container\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\">Brandi Carlile + Tanya Tucker and those Honky Tonk Angels<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"description-container\">\n<p>We knew it would be epic, but we didn\u2019t see this coming! Carlile and Tucker\u2019s performance of the iconic tune \u201cDelta Dawn\u201d brought the house down, especially when they brought out <a href=\"http:\/\/cmt.com\/artists\/carly-pearce\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Carly Pearce<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/cmt.com\/trisha-yearwood\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Trisha Yearwood<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/cmt.com\/artists\/martina-mcbride\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Martina McBride<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/cmt.com\/artists\/deana-carter\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Deana Carter<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/cmt.com\/artists\/lauren-alaina\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Lauren Alaina<\/a>, and <a href=\"http:\/\/cmt.com\/artists\/raelynn\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Raelynn<\/a> for harmony vocals. And can we just say how we\u2019re in complete awe of the Hanseroth twins? Good grief. This was a moment, people.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"heading-container\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\">Zac Brown Gets Fired Up<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"description-container\">\n<p>When Brown and his band took the stage to accept their win for \u201cGroup Video of the Year,\u201d it was clear the Grammy-winner had something on his mind. And when he shared a few of the lessons they\u2019ve learned along the way, we knew we he meant business. \u201cWe\u2019re so grateful that we get our award every night when we get to show up and do what we love,\u201d Brown said before explaining that trophies and accolades are not how they measure success. \u201cThis award is for all of you, my band, and all the outsiders who waited through everyone\u2019s doubts. For you young artists: have courage to stand up against the machine, be yourself, work hard, and one day you can stand up here and tell the haters to (expletive) off.\u201d There you go, haters.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"heading-container\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\">Ashley McBryde Enjoys a \u201cBreakthrough\u201d<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"description-container\">\n<p>The acclaimed singer-songwriter took home her first CMT Music Award for her powerful song and video \u201cGirl Goin\u2019 Nowhere\u201d in an unexpected coup for the singer, but not for anyone else. If you haven\u2019t seen the winning video, it\u2019s a must-watch collage of devoted McBryde audiences along a tour, proving that not only has the Arkansas native captured the hearts of critics, but also fans everywhere. A well-earned and deserving win to be celebrated. But don\u2019t forget, girl, you owe <a href=\"http:\/\/cmt.com\/artists\/luke-combs\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Luke Combs<\/a> a beer\u2026or two.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"heading-container\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\">All Hail Queen Carrie<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"description-container\">\n<p>Clear off some more shelf space, Mike Fisher: your wife has once again cemented her status as Queen of the CMT Music Awards. Underwood took home \u201cFemale Video of the Year\u201d and the coveted \u201cVideo of the Year\u201d for \u201cLove Wins,\u201d which officially makes her the winningest artist in the history of the show. Underwood now boasts twenty CMT belt buckles. Love definitely wins\u2026 and so does Carrie. Congratulations!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<div class=\"heading-container\">\n<h3 class=\"heading\">That Show Opener<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"description-container\">\n<p>Can we just always have a killer horn section for everything from now on?!
