Bucky, Carrie, Kellie at CMA Music Festival

The two-hour television special for this summer's CMA Music Festival 2008 aired last night on ABC, which could only mean a few Idol alums were bound to turn up. Filling roles as both host and performer was Kellie Pickler, who performed her new single "Don't You Know You're Beautiful" in addition to hosting alongside friend and fellow country artist Taylor Swift. Kellie was also featured in a behind the scenes segment when three of her guy fans were unexpectedly taken to see her backstage where they all hung out and joked around.

Carrie Underwood was one of the festival's headliners, and she brought down the house with a performance of "Last Name" while sporting an eye-catching orange top. Watch Carrie's performance below:



Bucky Covington also performed "Good to Be Us" while narrating a highlight of all the things Nashville has to offer. The festival was filmed from June 5-8.
