Prior to accepting the award, Underwood told reporters backstage, "I feel like I'm getting more involved here in Nashville. This is my community. I'm going to be here for a very long time, if not for the rest of my life, and I love it here, so it's nice to feel like I'm part of this town." During the Symphony Ball, Underwood performed three songs, including her latest single, "Temporary Home."
