The biggest night for country music — the 58th annual Country Music Awards — is underway. So giddy on up and watch the show happening now in Nashville on ABC. Below, everything you need to know and all the looks and dresses from the red carpet.
So who is nominated for a CMA?
Leading the nominations is Morgan Wallen (yuck) with seven nominations and Chris Stapleton (who already won Single of the Year and Song of the Year) and Cody Johnson with five. Other notable nominees include Kacey Musgraves, Post Malone, Kelsea Ballerini, Luke Combs, Jelly Roll, Lainey Wilson, Megan Moroney, and Shaboozey.
Who is performing at the CMAs?
Like the Grammys, the night features performances from big artists like Luke Bryan, Eric Church, Luke Combs, Cody Johnson, Kacey Musgraves, Post Malone, Shaboozey, and Kelsea Ballerini featuring Noah Kahan.
Who else will be at the CMAs?
Simone Biles showed up to present an award, which I’m very excited for. As for people who may show up, we’ll be on the lookout for singer Zach Bryan; he has been in hot water since his breakup with influencer Brianna Chickenfry, who has since come out to accuse him of emotional abuse.
Will Beyoncé attend the CMAs?
The question on everyone’s mind and the one being asked in all group chats. It is highly unlikely Beyoncé will attend the CMAs, especially since she was shut out of nominations. But it is important to note the success Cowboy Carter had, especially since Beyoncé became the first Black woman to ever have a No. 1 country album. Alas, the CMAs have some catching up to do, but here’s to still hoping something good comes about tonight (a.k.a. an apology to Queen B).
