Nashville- The Barbara Mandrell biography was enriched with a nostalgic experience at the 43rd Annual Country Music Awards in Nashville. The evening must have transported the country singer to a bygone era as Taylor Swift was awarded the “Entertainer of the Year” award, becoming the third woman to be honored. Barbara Mandrell is the only woman till date to win the award twice. Swift brought back even more memories for the singer as she won the award for the best vocalist of the year. Barbara Mandrell had also won that honor twice. She was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in the ceremony.
Barbara Mandrell went backstage to praise her worthy successor, Taylor Swift. She said that would be exciting to follow the career graph of the 19 year old singer and see where she takes the success that she has met so early in her career. There was more to come for the singer as the evening carried on. Martina McBride came on stage to pay her tribute to the singer. She sang a soulful rendition of the timeless classic, “I Was Country When Country Wasn’t Cool”, one of the most beautiful songs from the Barbara Mandrell biography. She was accompanied by George Strait and Charlie McCoy, the harmonic legend. The performance moved Barbara Mandrell to tears.
Martina McBride said that her performance in the 43rd CMA is the most memorable so far. She admitted that she believes that the Barbara Mandrell biography is one of the most colorful as far as those of female country singers are considered. She insisted that it was a great honor to perform for someone who is such an inspiration for female country stars of the country.
