Watch: Carrie Underwood performs emotional tribute for Tornado victims

Carrie Underwood paid tribute to victims of the Oklahoma with a touching performance Wednesday night at the CMT Awardsin Nashville.

Backed by a choir, the country singer, who hails the storm-ravaged state, sang "See You Again," a song she debuted on "American Idol" in April. The emotional level was raised when photos of the devastation appeared on the large screen behind her, while the lyrics she sang took on a new meaning: "I'll see you again, oh/This is not where it ends/I will carry you with me, oh/Till I see you again."

Underwood previously donated $1 million to the Red Cross to aid in Tornado relief efforts.
