The countdown to the 2024 Country Music Association Awards is on, and the biggest names in Nashville are hoping to add some new hardware to their trophy cases.
The 58th annual edition of the awards show — cohosted by Luke Bryan, Peyton Manning and Lainey Wilson — will take place Wednesday, November 20, at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena. Morgan Wallen leads the nominations list with seven nods, while Chris Stapleton and Cody Johnson are tied for second place with five each. Post Malone and Wilson are also at the top of the pack with four nominations each.
Wilson shared her gratitude to the CMA after this year’s nominations were announced in September. “Thank you @cma 😭🙏🏻❤️,” she wrote via Instagram at the time. “It’s an incredible honor to be nominated in each of these categories. And congrats to all my friends. Watching y’all win gets me fired up.”
At the 2023 CMAs, Wilson took home the prize for Entertainer of the Year, becoming the first woman to win the awards show’s highest honor in 12 years. She is nominated for the same award at this year’s show alongside Wallen, Stapleton, Luke Combs and Jelly Roll.
