Are you ready for a star-studded evening in Nashville? The CMA Awards are just around the corner, and you won’t want to miss this unforgettable night of country music’s finest. Set to take place at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, the CMA Awards will kick off at 8 p.m. ET on November 8. If you can’t make it to the live event, don’t worry – you can catch all the action live on ABC and, for those who prefer streaming, on Hulu the following day.
Lainey Wilson Dominates the Nominations
Lainey Wilson is poised to steal the show this year, boasting an impressive nine nominations from the Country Music Association. It’s nearly double the number of nominations of the next contender, Jelly Roll, who secured five nominations. Following closely behind are Luke Combs and Hardy, each with four nominations.
This isn’t Wilson’s first time leading the nominations; she achieved a similar feat in 2022 with six nods. Notably, she’s the first artist to receive the most nominations in her first two years of being recognized by the CMA.
Star-Studded Lineup
The CMA Awards night promises unforgettable performances. Both Jelly Roll and Lainey Wilson are set to take the stage, along with country music heavyweights like Chris Stapleton, Tanya Tucker, Morgan Wallen, Post Malone, and the event’s co-host, Luke Bryan.
Tribute to Jimmy Buffett
This year’s ceremony will also feature a heartwarming tribute to the legendary Jimmy Buffett. A medley of his iconic songs will be performed by Kenny Chesney, Alan Jackson, the Zac Brown Band, and Mac McAnally, a longtime member of Buffett’s Coral Reefer Band.
How to Stream the CMA Awards
If you can’t catch the CMA Awards live on ABC, don’t fret. You can still enjoy the show through various live TV streaming services such as DirecTV, Sling TV, and Hulu + Live TV. And if you’re willing to exercise a little patience, the entire event will be available for streaming on Hulu the day after the live broadcast.
