Kenny Chesney took home entertainer of the year honors while Arista Nashville labelmates Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley each won two crystal trophies at the 41st annual Country Music Association Awards, held last night (Nov. 7) in Nashville.

Chesney's win was his second straight in the category and third in the last four years. While thanking his label, fans and radio, Chesney also threw a shout out to his hero and friend. "I want to thank George Strait for paying for dinner last night," he said with a laugh.

Underwood won top female honors for the second straight year, while her song "Before He Cheats," produced by Mark Bright, took home top single honors. The song spent five weeks at No. 1 on Hot Country Songs last year. "I honestly didn't expect it at all," Underwood said backstage of her female nod.
