See who else is nominated at the awards show!
The nominations for country music's biggest night of the year have arrived!
On Wednesday, Jimmie Allen and Ashley McBryde announced the first round of nominees for the 2019 CMA Awards on Wednesday's episode of Good Morning America. This year's potential honorees include newcomers like Lil Nas X and Midland, as well as country music stars like Garth Brooks and Keith Urban. Leading the pack is Maren Morris with six nominations. She's followed by the Brothers Osborne, who are up for prizes in four categories.
Carrie Underwood is slated to host this year's proceedings, which will be broadcast from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on Wednesday, Nov. 13 at 8 p.m. EST on ABC. The songstress will be getting some support in managing the duties from special guest hosts Reba McEntire and Dolly Parton. For the first time in 12 years, Brad Paisley will not be serving as a co-host for the prestigious awards show.
"This year, we have the privilege of honoring country legends, new and emerging talent and even artists from outside our genre," Sarah Trahern, CMA Chief Executive Officer, said in a statement. "The breadth of country music's landscape is evident in this year's nominations, and we can't wait to celebrate our nominees in November."
