Her outstanding performance at the CMA Awards 2010 stood out for the improvisations that she brought about in the pop ballad.

The lyrics of ‘If I Were A Boy‘ have been a hot search once again after the performance of Reba McEntire at the CMA Awards. The song talks about how a girl fantasizes about being a boy and having a life much different. Though the girl sings about having beer with the guys she also talks about how she would treat the women. The message of the song makes it a rather sad number as the listener soon realizes that the girl wants to be a boy because she wants to make him understand the pain that she feels.
