BIGGEST STARS IN COUNTRY MUSIC
ARE COMING TOGETHER IN THE HEART
OF MUSIC CITY FOR COUNTRY
MUSIC'S BIGGEST NIGHT.
IT'S THE 56th ANNUAL CMA AWARDS.
AND NOW, HERE ARE YOUR HOSTS,
LUKE BRYAN AND PEYTON MANNING.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> WELCOME TO THE 2022 CMA
AWARDS.
I'M YOUR HOST, LUKE BRYAN.
>> AND I'M YOUR OTHER HOST,
PEYTON MANNING.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED -- THANK
YOU.
I HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO HOST THE
CMA AWARDS.
AFTER ALL, THIS IS THE SUPER
BOWL OF COUNTRY MUSIC.
>> YEP.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
I KIND OF THINK THE SUPER BOWL
IS THE CMA AWARDS OF FOOTBALL.
>> EITHER WAY, LUKE, THERE ARE A
LOT OF PARALLELS BETWEEN
FOOTBALL AND THIS YEAR'S
NOMINEES.
>> YOU'RE SO RIGHT.
FOR EXAMPLE, LAINEY WILSON,
SHE'S OUR FIRST-ROUND DRAFT
CHOICE.
AND CARRIE UNDERWOOD IS ALWAYS A
TOP CONSIDERATION FOR MVP.
PEYTON, I MEAN, YOU'VE WON SOME
MVPs.
>> WELL, CARRIE UNDERWOOD AND I
HAVE A LOT IN COMMON.
WE'VE BOTH WORKED WITH BRAD
PAISLEY.
WE'VE BOTH BEEN ON "SUNDAY NIGHT
FOOTBALL" A LOT.
AND WE'RE BOTH VERY NERVOUS
ABOUT WHAT LUKE BRYAN MIGHT SAY
TONIGHT.
>> HELL, EVEN I'M NERVOUS ABOUT
WHAT LUKE BRYAN MIGHT SAY
TONIGHT.
>> BUT LISTEN, FOLKS, I'M NOT
HERE TONIGHT TO TALK FOOTBALL.
I'M HERE BECAUSE I AM A HUGE FAN
OF COUNTRY MUSIC, AND TONIGHT --
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
TONIGHT I GET TO SEE ONE OF MY
FAVORITES.
THE LEGENDARY ALAN JACKSON.
RECEIVE THE WILLIE NELSON
LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
I LOVE ALL OF ALAN'S SONGS, AND
I'M SUCH A BIG FAN OF YOU, LUKE.
>> THANKS, PEYTON.
>> DO YOU MIND?
I WAS TALKING TO LUKE COMBS.
WHAT'S UP, LUKE?
GOOD LUCK TONIGHT, PAL.
NO, I'M JUST KIDDING.
I'M A BIG FAN OF YOURS.
YOU KNOW THAT.
>> OH, YEAH.
I FEEL IT.
WHATEVER, PEYTON.
TELL ME WHAT YOUR FAVORITE
COUNTRY MUSIC SONG IS.
>> WELL, I'M GLAD YOU ASKED THAT
BECAUSE MY FAVORITE COUNTRY SONG
IS ALSO A DANCE CRAZE THAT'S
CURRENTLY SWEEPING THE NATION.
HEY, GUYS IN THE TRUCK, HIT IT.

♪ WISH THAT I WAS ON ROCKY TOP
♪ DOWN IN TENNESSEE HILLS
♪ UP ON ROCKY TOP
♪ AIN'T NO TELEPHONE BILLS

YOU KNOW I'M A GEORGIA BOY.
THAT WAS JUST TOO MUCH.
TOO MUCH FOR MY EARS.
>> GIVE IT UP AGAIN FOR ZEB ROSS
FROM CANTON, NORTH CAROLINA FOR
THAT FANTASTIC DANCE
PERFORMANCE.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> I CAN'T BELIEVE, I CAN'T
BELIEVE WE CUT GARTH'S
PERFORMANCE FOR THAT.
THE TRUTH IS I BET PEYTON THAT
IF GEORGIA BEAT TENNESSEE HE
WOULD HAVE TO CO-HOST THE CMA
AWARDS.
GO DAWGS.
>> YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.
ALL RIGHT.
LOOK, DON'T WORRY, LUKE, I MAY
BE NEW TO CMA HOSTING BUT I HAVE
BEEN GETTING READY FOR THIS SHOW
FOR A WHILE.
>> GETTING READY LIKE HOW?
>> WELL, I DID A LOT OF FILM
STUDY.
I WATCHED EVERY CMA AWARD SHOW
SINCE 1967.
>> WELL, HOW DO YOU THINK I DID
LAST YEAR?
>> I THOUGHT YOU REALLY NEEDED A
CO-HOST.
>> YEAH, ME TOO.
>> SO WHAT DID YOU DO TO PREPARE
FOR TONIGHT?
>> I WALKED AROUND NASHVILLE
TRYING TO FIND A COWBOY HAT TO
FIT YOUR HEAD.
>> VERY NICE.
THAT CAN'T BE DONE, ACTUALLY.
>> PEYTON, LET ME BREAK IT TO
YOU.
I DON'T PREPARE.
I'M JUST KIND OF A WING IT KIND
OF HOST.
>> TRUST ME, THAT'S CLEAR.
SO WHAT YOU'RE SAYING IS THIS IS
MY WORST NIGHTMARE.
BUT IT'S ACTUALLY OKAY BECAUSE I
DO A SHOW WITH MY BROTHER ELI.
I AM USED TO THIS LACK OF
PROFESSIONALISM.
>> BOTTOM LINE, AS CMA AWARDS
CO-HOST I HAVE ONE GOAL TONIGHT,
FOR EVERYBODY TO HAVE FUN, TO
COME TOGETHER, TO UNITE, TO
COUNTRY ON.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> THAT WAS A SHAMELESS PLUG
THERE.
>> AND TO CELEBRATE BEING
AMERICANS.

CROWN ROYAL HAS A DEEP TRADITION
OF GENEROSITY, ESPECIALLY FOR
OUR MILITARY.
SO IN THEIR FIFTH YEAR WITH THE
CMA AWARDS -- COME ON NOW.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
THEY ARE CELEBRATING PEOPLE WHO
TRULY DESERVE A CROWN FOR THEIR
ACTS OF SERVICE IN LOCAL
COMMUNITIES.
TAKE A LOOK AT CREATIVETS, A
VETERAN PROGRAM THAT USES THE
POWER OF MUSIC TO HEAL.
RECENTLY I HAD THE OPPORTUNITY
TO JOIN AN INCREDIBLE GROUP OF
VETERANS, AND WE PACKED CARE
PACKAGES TO SEND TO MILITARY
OVERSEAS AS PART OF THE CROWN
ROYAL PURPLE BAG PROJECT.
AND WE ALSO LEARNED ABOUT THE
CREATIVETS PROGRAM.
>> SO I JOINED THE MARINE CORPS
IN 2003 STRAIGHT OUT OF HIGH
SCHOOL.
WITHIN THE FIRST FOUR MONTHS MY
HUMVEE WAS BLOWN UP FOUR
SEPARATE TIMES LEAVING ME WITH A
TRAUMATIC BRAIN INJURY.
MY BUDDY WAS SHOT AND KILLED
BESIDE ME.
COMING HOME I DIDN'T KNOW HOW TO
PROCESS THIS SO I JUST STARTED
DIVING INTO LEARNING HOW TO TELL
MY OWN STORY AND PUTTING IT INTO
MUSIC.
AND THAT JOURNEY AND PROCESS
COMPLETELY SAVED MY LIFE.
>> HI, GUYS.
>> SO I KNEW I HAD TO START
CREATIVETS TO HELP OTHER
VETERANS TELL THESE STORIES.
>> I'VE GOT TO HEAR SOME OF
THESE SONGS.
♪ TAKING THE LONG WAY HOME
>> I FIGURED I'D SHARE ONE WITH
Y'ALL IF THAT'S ALL RIGHT.
♪ KEEP YOU FOREVER
♪ BABY I'LL BE YOUR DREAM
CATCHER ♪
>> BEING HERE TODAY HAS REMINDED
ME WHY I GET TO DO WHAT I GET TO
DO.
>> THANK Y'ALL.
>> THEY SHARED THEIR STORIES.
THEY SHARED THEIR SONGS WITH ME.
AND THAT TAKES A VERY VULNERABLE
AND BRAVE PERSON TO DO THAT.
>> AS VETS WE ISOLATE.
BUT MUSIC HAS THE POWER TO BRING
SUSS TOGETHER, SHARE OUR
STORIES, AND BRING OTHER VETS IN
TO HEALING AND HAPPINESS AGAIN.
>> TO HAVE A PROGRAM LIKE
CREATIVETS WHERE WE CAN COME OUT
AND TELL OUR STORIES IN A SAFE
PLACE AND CONNECT TO OTHER
COMRADES, THE THERAPEUTIC VALUE
OF THAT IS EXPONENTIAL.
>> THANK YOU SO MUCH, CROWN
ROYAL, FOR WHAT YOU DO FOR OUR
SOLDIERS.
FOR WHAT YOU'RE DOING FOR OUR
VETERANS NOW.
HEALING THEM WITH MUSIC.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
>> I AM JOINED BY MARINE VETERAN
AND FOUNDER OF CREATIVETS,
RICHARD CASPER.
COME ON NOW.
[ CHEERS AND APPLAUSE ]
RICHARD, YOUR DEDICATION TO
VETERANS IS UNMATCHED, AND CROWN
ROYAL AND I BELIEVE THAT
DESERVES A CROWN.

FOR YOUR GENEROSITY I'VE GOT A
