The Ultimate CMA Awards Drinking Game
T-1 MORE DAY UNTIL THE CMA Awards!
The CMA Awards, hosted for the 10th year in a row by Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley, airs on Wednesday at 8pm on ABC. We'll also be playing it live on Cat Country 107.3 FM and on our App!
And the Cat Country Team TOTALLY can't wait for our viewing party!
We've created a fun drinking game: Amongst your friends/family, select the winners of each 11 categories. As the awards air-- take a shot for every one you get WRONG. Then, pray to God, because worst case scenario you're taking 11 shots and that won't be a pretty night...
We've placed our bets and here's what the Cat Country Crew predicts:
