Even Carrie Underwood seemed in awe.

She hopes kids will see equal representation in country music today.

It was one of the highlights of the night.

Spencer's In a Perfect World Tour kicks off in December.

The show, hosted by Carly Pearce, now includes more than a dozen acts, who will help honor the night's award recipients.

Brittney Spencer joins her for a vocal duet, and producer Tyler Cain joins in with a pair of guitar parts.

Brittney Spencer doesn't think every song needs a resolution. "Sober & Skinny," her latest release, doesn't really have one.

"She believed I would do country music before I had the courage to even pursue it," the up-and-coming singer-songwriter says.
