Barbara Mandrell looked on from the audience
Martina McBride has been coming to the CMA Awards for years and has had multiple opportunities to perform on the show, but she said none of those performances meant as much to her as her tribute to Barbara Mandrell this year.
Barbara Mandrell is a true star in the very best sense of the word. A career this far reaching could prove to be heady stuff for some, but through faith and grounded good sense, Mandrell has managed to embrace all that is good about her public life without letting go of the good in her family life; a true star, yes, and an evolving woman, too. She gives the gift of her talent to her fans unselfishly.
