Carrie Underwood cradles baby bump in elegant floral gown at 2018 Country Music Association Awards

It is country music’s biggest night.

And there was a symphony of beautiful ensembles at the 2018 Country Association Awards on Wednesday night. 

Carrie Underwood led the glamour as she cradled her baby bump while posing with her husband, Mike Fisher, on the red carpet at the star-studded gala held at the Bridgestone Arena in the capital of country music Nashville, Tennessee.

Hey mama! Carrie Underwood led the glamour as she cradled her baby bump while posing with her husband, Mike Fisher, on the red carpet at the star-studded gala held at the Bridgestone Arena in the capital of country music Nashville, Tennessee

Carrie hit a fashion high note in her glamorous dress decorated with an array of pink blossoms and lilac leaves. 

The stunning, beige dress clung to Carrie’s growing torso while dramatically flaring at the bottom and skimming at the floor.  

She played up her radiant complexion with an ultra glamorous shade of smoky eye shadow, nude lip stick, and a pink hue of bronzer blush.

Blonde tresses curled into fun and full ringlets, Carrie was the picture of style and beauty as she smiled from ear to ear alongside her handsome husband.

Hair slicked back across his head, Mike was dressed to the nines in a suave black suit and bow tie. 

Brad Paisley and Carrie are hosting the event for the 11th consecutive year.

The talented duo recently told ABC’s Good Morning America that they hope to ‘gie everybody a bunch of laughs,’ especially in light of recent events.

This is the first major country music gathering since the tragic shooting at the Borderline Bar And Grill in Thousand Oaks, California which left 12 dead.

No doubt it will be a big night for Paisley and Underwood as they are both set to perform.

Carrie, 35, is also nominated for two of the biggest awards of the night including Female Vocalist Of The Year and Music Video Of The Year for Cry Pretty. 

Chris Stapleton leads all nominations with five as he is up for Male Vocalist Of The Year, Single Of The Year for Broken Halos and Album Of The Year for From A Room: Volume 2.

The 40-year-old artist is also up for the top award of the night Entertainer Of The Year.

Dann Huff has the second most nominations with four including a nod in the Musician Of The Year category.

It wouldn’t be the CMAs without several highly-anticipated performances as Stapleton, Aldean and Miranda Lambert are all set to perform in addition to the hosts.

One performance several country fans are excited about will be Garth Brooks as he will be doing a ‘secret song.’

The project has been kept under wraps so well that not even his wife and fellow country star Trisha Yearwood knows what song he is doing.

It seems like it will be an emotional performance as the 56-year-old country superstar told Taste Of Country: ‘Guys on the farm are taking a pool on how many words in before I start crying.’

Kelsea Ballerini, Dan + Shay, Florida Georgia Line with Bebe Rexha, Dierks Bentley with Brothers Osborne, Luke Bryan, Kenny Chesney, and Lauren Alaina are all also set to hit the stage.

The Country Music Association Awards is will air live on ABC at  8PM EST/5PM PST on ABC.
