2012 CMA Awards Performances

The 2012 CMA Awards included over 20 performances -- more if you count the skits and songs hosts Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood played between award announcements.

The biggest stars, from Jason Aldean to Blake Shelton to Kenny Chesney to Miranda Lambert and Taylor Swift, all took the stage at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. The show ended with a big surprise, but the sincerity of these live performances was anything but shocking.
