Carrie Underwood’s hit, “Mama’s Song” snagged an Inspirational Country Music Award nomination for Mainstream Inspirational Country Song of the Year. Written even before her engagement and marriage to hockey-star Mike Fisher, the song’s themes of love and family made it an inspiration for fans as well as a big hit on the charts. But Carrie reveals initially, the song was written as a special message for her mother Carol. “The song was meant in the…in the beginning to kind of be…it was taking the form of, like, a wedding song. Like, this mom has to let go and give her daughter away to another person to take care of. That’s an amazing, sad, and happy time in somebody’s life.” Lady Antebellum’s “Hello World,” Rascal Flatts’ “I Won’t Let Go,” Ronnie Dunn’s “Bleed Red” and Chris Young’s “Voices” are also nominated in the category. Carrie’s also nominated for Video of the Year, and the Mainstream Country Artist award.
