The Band Perry Rooting for the Competition at CMA Awards

The Band Perry are excited to be attending their first official CMA Awards this year, and as nominees for Vocal Group of the Year, the pressure is on the trio to look extra sharp. That shouldn't be a problem, with their stylist, mom Marie Perry, on the case. But it might get a little expensive, since brothers Neil and Reid Perry need special incentives to try on clothes for the big day!

"Mom will be going with us to the awards and helping us pick out outfits," sister Kimberly Perry tells the Boot. "We're probably going to bring in some help too, just because that's a lot for her to pull together and be on the road, but she'll be spearheading. I definitely like the fashion part more than the boys. Mom has to bribe Neil to try on clothes. We were in a mall the other day, and I heard her in the dressing room say, 'OK, I'll buy you the new iPad cover if you'll try on a shirt!'"

"But the main reason Mama picks it out for Reid and me is we're colorblind," Neil explains. "It's a little difficult for us to find matching colors, so she has to bribe us, but it works!"

The Perrys also admit that the one act they're most looking forward to seeing at their first CMA Awards is also their competition in the Vocal Group of the Year category: the Zac Brown Band. "We're rooting for the Zac Brown Band," Kimberly says. "We played with them in San Francisco, and they're up for vocal group. They're one of our favorites. So we would love to meet those guys. We keep saying, 'Man, I'm just gonna be so excited to lose to the Zac Brown Band!'"

The three celebrated last year's awards as party goers, but this is their first time attending the actual awards show, so they're beyond excited. "We went to the after-party last year and we were so grateful to be there, so we're excited," Kimberly admits. "To be in the room and have the long dress, it's going to be a really cool night for us!"
