Here's How the CMAs Responded to Sammy Kershaw Claim

Sammy Kershaw shared how the CMAs denied his request to walk the red carpet at next week’s awards.  Well, the Country Music Association responded to his claim, and they aren’t denying it.

They said, quote, “Like any major televised event, the red carpet has criteria that exists to help manage limited space and the security needs for both the artists and the media.  We are deeply sorry anyone felt excluded by those decisions . . .

“With this 60th anniversary year, we are working extra hard to simultaneously spotlight the last six decades . . . To that point, we are in touch with Sammy Kershaw’s team and look forward to continuing that conversation.”

Well, Jake Owen wasn’t impressed with the CMAs’ statement.  He said, quote, This is a lot of words saying nothing . . . How about, ‘Sorry Sammy . . we messed up . . . our words don’t match our actions.’

“Instead, you waited 4 days to craft this?!?”

Sammy isn’t the only country star who got denied by the CMAs.  Rodney Atkins was denied too.
