AUDIO: Little Big Town’s Karen Fairchild talks about their CMA nomination for Single of the Year for “Pontoon.”

LBT (CMA Single of the Year) OC: …good time. :22
“We’ve never been nominated [for Single of the Year]. We’ve been nominated for Group before, but never for that, a song performance. So, it’s just super cool. Who would’ve thought that ‘Motorboatin’’ would be up for Single of the Year, you know? But that’s how big an impact, I guess, it’s had with the fans and with people. People want to have a good time.”

AUDIO: Little Big Town’s Karen Fairchild and Phillip Sweet talk about their CMA nomination for Group of the Year.

LBT (CMA Group) OC: (Phillip) …cloud nine. :08
“[We’re] so honored. The Group of the Year category is fierce.” PHILLIP: “We’re so thrilled. I mean, this is the best! [We’re] living on cloud nine.”
