The stars commented on the recent controversey surrounding the CMAs press guidelines, noting that the show is supposed to be free of politics. Paisley lamented not being able to sing topical songs such as, "Way Down Yonder on the Scaramucci," "Hold Me Closer Bernie Sanders," "Harper Valley DNC" and "Stand by Your Manafort."
Paisley then strummed a guitar and sung a parody of Underwoods Before He Cheats with lyrics aimed at President Trump.
Right now hes probably in his PJs, watching cable news, reaching for his cell phone, Paisley sung.
Underwood joined in, Its fun to watch it thats for sure, till little Rocket Man starts a nuclear war. Maybe next time hell think before he tweets.
