Now Gangnam Style goes country! Carrie Underwood performs South Korean pop hit as she presents the CMA's
|
The infamous song Gangnam Style with its quirky accompanying dance moves from South Korean pop sensation Psy have been taking the world by storm for months now.
And after getting mocked on Saturday Night Live, Glee and even by Eton schoolboys, it's now Carrie Underwood's turn to take a shot at the dance routine.
During the opening speech at the 46th Country Music Awards in Nashville on Thursday, the star and her co-host Brad Paisley clumsily performed their version of the pop sensation.

The country star managed to pull off the unique dance moves in her short sequined dress and stiletto pumps, while keeping a straight face.
Co-host Brad Paisley even pulled out the signature Gangnam Style shades for the routine.
Carrie started the parody by complaining when Brad suggested doing the dance, telling him to 'Stop it'.
But after the first few bars, Carrie gave in and completed the silly dance routine with him in front of a star-studded audience.

Country legends including Keith Urban, Hayden Panettiere and Blake Shelton smiled as the two presenters delivered their sketch, but Taylor Swift was seen looking a little unimpressed at the end.
Perhaps she was still a little burned after a joke the two hosts made about her break-up from Connor Kennedy, as Carrie told Brad that the couple would: 'Never get back together. Never, ever.'
It marked the fifth consecutive time that Carrie and Brad have been presenting the prestigious gongs.

Meanwhile Carrie has made an appearance on Aerosmith's new album, Music From Another Dimension!, to be released next week.
The country star provides the vocals for one of the songs, alongside Steven Tyler, who recently spoke about the collaboration.
'I called Carrie up, because she's a friend of mine. She was in L.A. and was leaving the next morning, and I said "Get over here quick!",' he said.
'And the rest was history. She sang on it and it's just perfect. It's one of those moments that just is. And because she did, will it be a hit? Positively. You f*****g think? She's so big! And it's not a bad song. That's pretty cool, right?'

I loved Carrie's outfit, AND her fantastic looking legs. Jeez, there are some people who would even say Heidi Klum is a dog...they'd be Soooooo wrong! I think the Oppa Gangnam Style song is a lot of fun. Really neat.
