It’s one of the biggest nights in country music: the CMA Awards! So many amazing music stars are nominated, so follow along as the winners are announced to see if your favorite won big!
The 52nd Annual Country Music Association Awards – being held on Nov. 11 at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee — looks to celebrate the best and brightest stars in the genre. With Chris Stapleton leading the pack with the most nominations (5) it will be interesting to see who wins big. Will Jason Aldean pick up his second “Entertainer of the Year” award for this year? Will Miranda Lambert or Carrie Underwood take home the award for Female Vocalist of the Year? Will any song besides Dan + Shay’s “Tequila” take home the trophy for Single of the Year and/or Song Of The Year. Update: The night turned out big for Chris Stapleton, Carrie Underwood and Keith Urban, as all three got choked up when they accepted their respective CMA Awards. Keith even shared a sweet moment with Nicole Kidman after he won Entertainer Of The Year! Congrats!
As fans wait to see who wins what, they’ll be treated to nearly two dozen performances. In addition to Dan + Shay, Carrie Underwood, and Jason Aldean (who will be performing with Miranda Lambert) stars like Kelsea Ballerini, Luke Bryan, Old Dominion, Kacey Musgraves, Pistol Annies, and Garth Brooks are set to perform. Plus, Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood are back to host for the 11th consecutive time.
