This ACM Male Vocalist of the Year award is SO one year ago!

Brad graciously accepts his fifth consecutive Male Vocalist trophy at the 2011 ACMs. Should he win again this year, it would make a six-year sweep of the honor. (Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty Images)

Pinch me!!! I'm on the ACMs performing with Jeff, Randy and Teddy from ALABAMA!

Brad was in grade school - just down the river in Glen Dale, WV - when Alabama upended Country Music with such iconic classics as "Mountain Music"...which 29 years later became the foundation for Brad's homage to the boys from Fort Payne, "Old Alabama". (Photo by Ethan Miller/Getty Images)

Heyyyy Glory Glory Hallelujah...Welcome To The Future!

Brad's H2O Wilder and Wetter Tour was one of America's biggest, selling out stadiums nationwide, like the Country Stampede last June in Manhattan, Kansas. Did you know there was a Manhattan Kansas? Glen Campbell sang a song about it in 1971. (Photo by Rick Diamond/Getty Images)

As dangerous with a microphone as he is on Twitter!

Watch out Brad...our favorite loose cannon (and fellow ACM EOY nominee) Blake Shelton joins Brad Paisley on stage. Blake was one of Brad's opening acts on the 2011 H2O Wilder and Wetter Tour. When are these two going to record a duet? (Photo by Rick Diamond/Getty Images)

It's Brad and Maxi-Brad!

Maybe that didn't sound quite right...but that inflatable's certainly too big to be a "mini-me"! Wonder how he is at helping around the house?! Brad's live performances have become as legendary as his guitar skills. (Photo by Rick Diamond/Getty Images)

Good Morning America, how are ya?

July 15th was a beautiful morning in Central Park, midtown Manhattan. ABC set up their Good Morning America stage there for a live performance in the park, courtesy of our ACM EOY nominee. (Photo by Mike Coppola/Getty Images)

Rockin' the park on "GMA"

New York, New York, THIS is Country Music!

You know Robin, everyone here can download a Radio.com app and listen to all my music on Y108!

...ok, Brad Paisley didn't really say that...but it looks like he COULD have been saying that to Robin Roberts, as they speak onstage following his July 15th performance in Central Park. (Photo by Mike Coppola/Getty Images)

What Brad gets for being married to a Hollywood actress!

Brad's made a number of Hollywood friends over the years...many of them turn up in hilarious roles in Brad's videos! On November 1st, Brad joined the ceremony when Disney/Pixar director John Lasseter received his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Lasseter directed the "Toy Story" series, "A Bug's Life", "Cars" and "Cars 2". Also in attendance: John Ratzenberger, Patton Oswalt, Don Rickles, Emily Mortimer, Nancy Lasseter (next to husband John), Owen Wilson, Randy Newman, Bonnie Hunt and Cheech Marin.

Brad cleans up well, doesn't he!

Seriously, it's another solemn ceremony, and another milestone...this one November 6th, as Brad accepts an award at the 49th Annual ASCAP Country Music Awards at Opryland. (Photo by Jason Kempin/Getty Images)

Young woman waiting on Brad Paisley

She obviously has impeccable taste in music...and she's gotten up early to see Brad perform live November 8th on Good Morning America. (Photo by Sara Kauss/Getty Images)

...and we do!

Brad, Carrie...take an old cold tater and wait!

Yes, Little Jimmy Dickens really is that tiny - 4'-11". And Brad really referred to Carrie Underwood as "Gooberwood" when tweeting about their video shoot for their ACM-nominated "Remind Me". Gooberwood. It's a term of endearment. Really. Then again, maybe not. BTW "Take An Old Cold Tater" was a big hit for Little Jimmy Dickens in 1949....when he was just 29.(Photo by Rick Diamond/Getty Images)

With wife Kimberly at CMT's Artists of the Year

Thing is, it's kinda hard to think of ANY year since 2004 in which Brad Paisley wouldn't be considered an Artist of the Year. (Photo by Rick Diamond/Getty Images for CMT)

Wait a minute...what's Joe Walsh doing on a Country Music show!?

That's easy...Joe's incredible abilities on slide guitar...plus his years in the band that pioneered the sound of today's Country Music: The Eagles. For Brad to share the stage with both Walsh and Alabama in the same year is quite an honor, and a sign of respect from musical royalty. (Photo by Rick Diamond/Getty Images for CMT)

Yeah, life's been good!

You know the part where the song ends? I like that part!

If you've seen Brad's self-deprecating "Celebrity" video, William Shatner's putdown at the end remains a gut-laugh moment. Here, Shatner honors Brad as one of CMT's Artists of the Year. (Photo by Rick Diamond/Getty Images for CMT)

And after this we're all goin' fishin'!

Front Row: Dick Clark Productions' Richard A. Clark, honorees (and fellow EOY nominees) Taylor Swift and Kenny Chesney, along with Hillary Scott. Why none of the Lady A'ers posed together remains forever a mystery. (Photo by Rick Diamond/Getty Images for CMT)

You thought the inflatable Maxi-Brad was big? Get a look at BIG Screen Brad!

We're gonna rock this town, rock it inside out!

Our Entertainer of the Year nominee could be seen on TV a good deal over the holidays, like in this performance with retro-rocker Brian Setzer, best known for Top 40 hits like "Rock This Town" with the Stray Cats. (Photo by Rick Diamond/Getty Images)

At least the lights didn't go out on him!

January 22nd. Brad performs at halftime of the NFC Championship game between the NY Giants and San Fran's 49'ers at Candlestick Park. Unlike last fall's disastrous Steeler game - when a transformer failure plunged the venue into total darkness multiple times - the lights stayed on long enough for Brad to perform and the visiting team to win. Candlestick is scheduled to be demolished this year as the 49'ers move to a new venue in the city by the bay. As for Brad...we'll see if he takes home another EOY trophy April 1st on KDKA-TV.
