So clearly the 2014 CMA's were going for crossover appeal with the inclusion of some oddly shoehorned in pop pairings on the night.
If the Ariana Grande pairing with Little Big Town wasn't enough of a mind trip for you, take a gander of Miranda Lambert and Meghan Trainor teaming up on the shady "empowerment" anthem, All About That Bass.
At least with this performance the pair did manage to include some elements of country music into the production, though it was clear that a lot of the backing was just sloppy playback- notice how the supporting vocals were all Meghan's own. Still, even with this little nod to the event, it didn't make the exercise any less transparent: The CMA's want to go mainstream, baby!
Thoughts?
