The Country Music Association promised a major surprise in the lead up to Wednesday’s CMA Awards – and it came at the tail-end of the three-hour telecast: Shania Twain presented the final honor of the night – entertainer of the year – to Kenny Chesney.
“You look really good tonight!” he said as he took the trophy in his hands.
Shania Twain, wearing a low-cut Missoni gown, had walked out to a standing ovation. “It’s good to see all of you too,” she told the crowd Wednesday at Nashville’s Sommet Center. “I hope to be seeing a lot more of you.”
Shania Twain, 43, won the coveted entertainer of the year award in 1999, and was last at the CMA awards in 2004.
