Country music has brought the drama in 2015. These nine candidates for the ToC Fan Choice Awards Music Video of the Year include clips of love, death, fire (LOTS of fire) and heartbreak. Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood are superstars hoping fans will vote them a win, but newcomers like Cam and Brothers Osbrone could sneak up and take the category.
