The 59th Annual Country Music Association Awards have officially kicked off at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena. As the star-studded night unfolds, this page will be updated with each winner as they’re announced, so be sure to refresh for the latest updates.
Lainey Wilson, who has nine CMA Awards under her belt and won the ACM Entertainer of the Year award in the spring, is hosting the show. This marks her second consecutive year as host, but her first time doing it solo, after MCing last year alongside country star Luke Bryan and retired NFL quarterback Peyton Manning.
In addition to her hosting duties, Wilson is slated to take the stage. While she’s keeping the details of her set under wraps, the 33-year-old Louisiana native teased to Country Now that fans will see her “fiery” and “sassy” side. Other performers throughout the evening include Keith Urban, Kenny Chesney, Megan Moroney, Shaboozey, Little Big Town, Kelsea Ballerini, BigXthaPlug, Brandi Carlile, Miranda Lambert and more.
Wilson, Moroney and Ella Langley are tied for the most CMA Award nominations this year, each earning six nods. Zach Top follows with five, while Riley Green and Cody Johnson picked up four apiece.
One of the night’s biggest awards, Entertainer of the Year, will see Wilson compete against Luke Combs, Cody Johnson, Chris Stapleton and Morgan Wallen. For Album of the Year, nominees include Moroney’s Am I Okay?, Top’s Cold Beer & Country Music, Post Malone’s F-1 Trillion, Wallen’s I’m the Problem, and Wilson’s Whirlwind.
