is up for seven trophies at Wednesday's Country Music Association Awards , but his duties as co-host with Carrie Underwood and performer will keep his attention elsewhere.
"It's a good problem to have to be that busy because I've had six nominations and went away empty-handed," Paisley said. "And when you're just sitting in the audience for three hours and perform one time in the middle of that, and then lose six times, that's a long night, you know." Paisley learned last year when he won two awards, including his second straight male vocalist trophy, that time flies when you're having fun, and hosting with Underwood turned out to be a blast — in a lot of different ways. Underwood even served as a distraction with 10 dress changes from red carpet to after parties. Paisley joked he served as her designated zipper technician.
