When Blake Shelton found his CMA Single of the Year nominee “God Gave Me You,” it reminded him a lot of his relationship with Miranda Lambert. The other nominees in the category are Jason Aldean's "Dirt Road Anthem," Dierks Bentley's "Home," Little Big Town's "Pontoon" and Eric Church's "Springsteen." Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood host the 46th annual CMA Awards on Thursday live from Nashville on ABC.
