This might be a bad mentality but I really don't feel remotely bad about Carrie dominating at the shows where the fans call the shots...it just goes to show that her fan base is a lot more powerful than everyone else. Instead of being directly mad at Carrie other fan groups should consider that Carrie just has a larger fan base behind her, flat out. Carrie is the queen of the CMTs...were they actually thinking Kelsea was going to beat her considering Carrie's track record, lol? Everyone else can hold lots of Zoom voting parties, Twitter voting parties, etc like Carrie fans had been. I don't think Carrie should not win because of that. She has lost enough awards over the year she rightfully deserved, and these shows are a chance to make it up. I think everyone (as in the people who are upset) should take that focus and anger where there are such clear examples of politics and misogyny (aka literally everything industry related basically), not a show where we have the control.
