The only bit that I happened to see last night was Carrie Underwood performing with Steven Tyler, doing a rendition of Aerosmith’s ‘Walk This Way,’ and guys? I WAS AMAZED. Carrie’s cool and all, and it’s apparent that she can sing, but Steven Tyler? STEVEN TYLER? Totally smoked the place up. Going on the assumption that he wasn’t lip-syncing (and there’s a good, big part of me that says he wasn’t), boyfriend was AMAZING. Steven Tyler, though he’s sometimes often mistaken for a jaded-looking Julia Roberts these days more than anyone else, is a living legend and his voice and on-stage antics are on POINT. And as long as I didn’t have to, like, look at his face, I’d still totally bang him. But that’s beside the point: because I missed the remainder of the awards last night, I missed the winner’s list and the dresses – but fear not: if you missed it, too, and that bothers you, I’ve got it all right here:
