BMI songwriters had a great night last night at the Country Music Association Awards in Nashville. Some of the big wins went to Luke Bryan, who took Entertainer of the Year, and Miranda Lambert, who was named Female Vocalist of the Year. In addition, BMI songwriters Liz Rose and Lori McKenna won the coveted Song of the Year for their smash “Girl Crush.”

Several BMI acts lit up the stage with performances: Vocal Group of the Year winner Little Big Town sang a live version of “Girl Crush,” for which they also won Single of the Year with BMI producer Jay Joyce. Rock-pop act Fall Out Boy also took the stage with fellow BMI singer-songwriter Thomas Rhett. Other knock out performances by BMI country superstars included Florida Georgia Line, Eric Church, Miranda Lambert, Kacey Musgraves, Kenny Chesney, Jason Aldean and Blake Shelton.
