'Have you heard the song that Blake did with Ashley Madison?' Brad Paisley asks co-host Carrie Underwood at the 2015 Country Music Association Awards.

AceShowbiz - What Blake Shelton expected to happen finally came true. His split from Miranda Lambert over the summer was made jokes by co-hosts Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood at the 2015 Country Music Association Awards on Tuesday, November 4.
While opening the show, Brad and Carrie talked about how many couples got into divorce in the past summer. "It's cray cray how many couples have broke up this year, from Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner, Halle Berry and what's his name," Brad said, to which Carrie replied, "And of course, we can't ignore the breakup that really rocked our world, the one that's on everyone's minds, two people who we all know and love: Splitsville."
The camera then turned to Kermit and Miss Piggy, "The Muppets" characters who announced their split earlier this year. "Look, they're not even sitting together. Is it me, or does he not even look well?" Brad wondered. Carrie then said, "I think he's kind of looking a little green." The 43-year-old singer then concluded, "I know. Maybe it's his self tanner."
"Well, Kermit, Miss Piggy, we just want to let you know that we love you both and want you to be happy," Carrie said to the characters of "The Muppets". Brad suddenly quipped, "And on a completely unrelated note, Howdy Blake." The camera quickly turned on Blake who laughed and waved his hands. It was followed by laughter from the audience.
The co-hosts didn't stop there. Brad went on saying, "Have you heard the song that Blake did with Ashley Madison?" referring to the dating site which was hacked earlier this year. Carrie corrected him as saying, "No, no, that was Ashley Monroe." Brad continued joking, "Have I been going to the wrong site? We don't have to be lonely at farmersonly.com."
Just last week, Blake predicted on "Late Night with Seth Meyers" that his divorce from Miranda would be made jokes at this year's CMAs. "This year is going to be awkward at the CMAs, speaking of jokes," he said. "[Country music] is such a family. Everybody there is friends, you know? There's gotta be one about me and Miranda. Brad Paisley is not doing his job if he doesn't look down there and go, 'Haha!' I mean, he's gotta do it."
