I can't believe Kacey Musgraves was beat out by Jana Kramer for New Female Vocalist...Musgraves is a better candidate than Brantley Gilbert and Florida Georgia Line. I guess all the One Tree Hill fans voted for Kramer…
And how can Musgraves be nominated for Female Vocalist? Seems like there should be a rite of passage…do your time in the New Artist category before moving on to the real deal.
