Gracing the red carpet at the 43rd Annual CMA Awards at the Sommet Center on November 11, 2009 in Nashville, Tennessee is Carrie Underwood.

Wearing a silvery sparkly number, Carrie Underwood is looking to take home a few awards during tonight’s ceremony. Underwood, whose Play On debuts at #1 on the Billboard albums chart next week, knows that there are still a few glass ceilings that need to be broken.

“I definitely do see more women in country music and more women doing well,” she told CMT. “I think it will be awhile before we get what’s coming to us. But it does feel like women have to work a lot harder to keep up with the boys, and I see the tides changing. … We’re going to kick the boys out.”

Good luck with that!
