The anticipation for Country Music's biggest night, the 59th CMA Awards, has officially kicked off. Lainey Wilson will be taking center stage as host, and she's also among the top contenders with six nominations, including Entertainer of the Year.
Wilson's excitement is palpable as she reminisces about her own journey to get to this point. Growing up, she'd sit in front of the TV eagerly waiting for the CMA Awards to air. Her debut hosting stint last year alongside Luke Bryan and Peyton Manning has paved the way for her solo hosting gig, making her the third woman to do so – a testament to her groundbreaking achievements.
Among Wilson's peers, Megan Moroney and Ella Langley are also tied for the most nominations with six. Langley won Musical Event of the Year with Riley Green last year, marking her first-ever award win. This achievement holds immense significance for her, as she reflects on how this is the "only thing" she's ever wanted to do in life.
Langley and Green's hit single "You Look Like You Love Me" has received multiple nominations, including Single of the Year. Langley herself is also up for New Artist of the Year, alongside Shaboozey, Zach Top, Stephen Wilson Jr., and Tucker Wetmore.
The CMA Awards often feel like a mini-Grammys for country music, with Nashville's tight-knit community playing a pivotal role in its success. Artists like Little Big Town and Lady A have praised the honor of being nominated year after year, citing the power of their fan base.
With the awards ceremony set to air live on ABC on November 19th at 8/7c, fans are eager to witness their favorite country artists take home accolades. To get an exclusive glimpse into the glamour and excitement leading up to the event, tune in to "On The Red Carpet at the CMA Awards," streaming live from various platforms.
As the spotlight shines on country music's elite, one thing is clear: this year's 59th CMA Awards promise to be a night to remember.

their music is on repeat in my playlists for weeks 
and it's amazing that they're getting recognized like this. I've been following country music for years now and it's great to see new artists like them making a name for themselves. The CMA Awards always feel like a celebration of the community and the love for country music, and I'm so down to watch the live broadcast on November 19th 
I'm so hyped for the CMA Awards this year!!! 
Lainey Wilson as host is gonna bring the heat 
and I'm already rooting for her to win Entertainer of the Year 
She's come so far from being a country music fan on TV as a kid, now she's hosting her own show 
. And can we talk about Ella Langley? 
I'm shipping her and Riley Green so hard 
The CMA Awards are the real deal, it's like a mini-Grammys for country music 
can't wait to see who takes home the awards on Nov 19th 
. And can we talk about how country music's community is just the best? Nashville's all about that unity and support vibe 
. I'm literally counting down the days till November 19th 
. The fact that she's a female host is also huge, especially since women are still underrepresented in that role. I'm rooting for Megan Moroney and Ella Langley too, they're both making waves with their amazing music! 
That's what the CMA Awards are all about! I'm rooting for Langley to win New Artist of the Year, she seems so down-to-earth and talented. The fact that Little Big Town and Lady A keep coming back year after year is a testament to how much love Nashville has for country music. Can't wait to see it all go down live on ABC on November 19th! 
. The red carpet specials will give us an extra dose of glamour before the big night, so we can almost taste it 
. Bring on November 19th!
. And what's up with Ella Langley's nomination for New Artist of the Year? She wins Musical Event of the Year last year, but now she's suddenly considered an artist? It's all about creating a narrative, if you ask me. 
The CMA Awards are just a platform for the powers that be to manipulate public opinion and control the narrative. I mean, have you seen the lineup? It's all about the Nashville elite and their close-knit community. They're like a cult, man... 
But hey, the people will eat it up, won't they? 
And then I started thinking about how nature just has a way of making you feel alive, you know? It's like when I'm walking in the woods or by the ocean, all my worries just melt away. I swear, being outdoors is like therapy for me...
, it's like the rest of us aren't even worthy. Don't get me wrong, I love country music as much as the next person, but come on, six nominations for one girl? It's just not fair 
. And can we please talk about how Little Big Town and Lady A always seem to get nominated every year? Like, are they even competing against themselves or something? 
The CMA Awards are basically the country music equivalent of a participation trophy...
It's amazing to see how far she's come from just sitting in front of the TV as a kid watching the CMA Awards. And Girl Ella Langley is on fire too!! 
Winning Musical Event of the Year was such an achievement for her, and I'm rooting for her all the way! 
The country music community is always so tight-knit and supportive, it's gonna be amazing to see everyone come together at the ceremony. November 19th can't arrive soon enough! 
. Lainey Wilson is hosting, which is nice, but let's be real, she's got a lot on her plate trying to keep up with all those country artists 
Is it because we genuinely care about country music, or is it just because our parents are old enough to remember the good ol' days of Willie Nelson and Dolly Parton?
