Shania has been snubbed for over a decade by the CMA but has showed class the whole time.
The sole reason for being snubbed is not just her unmatched sales and success for woman in country music but she wrote all her own songs and had her own producer.Nobody was making money off of her except Shania and Mutt who took all the money themselves.
Its all politics and whose back you pat. Shania never kissed butt and made hundreds of millions of dollars and just smiled and made her own music.Nashville will never forgive her and Shania doesn’t care. Shania is a class act all the way who never said a bad word about anyone or the industry.

Even though I’m not exactly a fan of hers, I do have to admire Shania for her graciousness, which I think is an increasingly rare trait in the business.

As to why Shania hasn’t gotten more awards than she deserves, I think it may have to do with a certain kind of jealousy that affects both the critics and fans of other artists: the idea that nobody whose album sales can be measured in the tens of millions can possibly be that good. It’s an art-versus-commerce thing; you may agree or disagree with it, but it does exist.

Shania is so gracious when she accepts awards, it’s a shame they haven’t given her more of them! I remember when she won ACM Top New Female Vocalist over Terri Clark, and acknowledged Clark, saying she was going to be huge because she’s such a tremendous talent.

Ok random question, I thought the year she won she wore that pink outfit with the cowboy hat?? Or was that the following year when she presented?? Or was that a totally different awards show??

She so deserved it no matter if she hadn’t been recognized in the past or even earlier in the evening, she went home with the big one. Her stats are undeniable, and most of them are probably untouchable.

this has got to be my favorite because i love reba’s expression when she saw Twain’s name on the wiiner ballot :D
And of course I am glad that she got some of her dues from the CMAs :)
