"I feel like music out of Nashville is something ... I won't say it's been overlooked, but we've always done so amazing," Carrie Underwood told reporters backstage at the show. "People still go out and buy country music records and support us on tour. It really is so successful, and sometimes in multi-genre settings, I wish that there were a few more country people representing. I think they (the Grammys) did a great job in representing. I'm so proud to be a part of that."
Carrie walked away with a new gramophone, as did Zac Brown Band, Little Big Town, Taylor Swift, the Civil Wars, Josh Kear and Chris Tompkins. Mumford & Sons' Babel, much of which was written in Nashville, took home the night's top honor, Album of the Year.
