About CMA Awards

The CMA Awards (Country Music Association Awards) are the premier awards given out once per year to outstanding artists within the country music genre (which has become far more inclusive and broadly defined in recent years). Some of the coveted major awards doled out annually are Entertainer of the Year (2023 winner: Lainey Wilson), Male Vocalist of the Year (2023 winner: Chris Stapleton), Female Vocalist of the Year (2023 winner: Lainey Wilson),  New Artist of the Year (Jelly Roll), Song of the Year (2023 winner: Tracy Chapman for “Fast Car”), and Album of the Year (2023 winner: Lainey Wilson for Bell Bottom Country). The CMA Awards ceremony itself has been held at various locations since it began back in 1967, such as the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville as well as Madison Square Garden in New York City. Ever since 2005, the CMA Awards ceremony has been hosted at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee (home to the Nashville Predators of the NHL), apart from 2020 due to COVID. Notable nominees for the 2024 CMA Awards include Morgan Wallen, who tops the list with 7 nominations, as well as Cody Johnson, Chris Stapleton, Lainey Wilson, Luke Combs, and Jelly Roll. Crossover chameleon Post Malone has also surprised and delighted many fans with his multiple CMA Awards nominations—unexpected to say the least! Along with the presentation of the awards themselves and the inevitable teary speeches, the CMA Awards Show will be graced by a huge number of musical performances by some of the biggest stars in country music.
