The biggest night in country music is almost here! The 58th Annual Country Music Association (CMA) Awards are set to showcase top performances from country’s biggest stars.
Over 6,000 CMA members vote annually to decide winners for coveted categories like Entertainer of the Year, Album of the Year, and Male and Female Vocalist of the Year.
For 2024, Luke Combs, Jelly Roll, Chris Stapleton, Morgan Wallen, and Lainey Wilson will vie for Entertainer of the Year. Combs, Stapleton, and Jelly Roll also compete with Kacey Musgraves and Cody Johnson for Album of the Year.
Chris Stapleton, who will open the ceremony with Post Malone, is set to shine. The duo will perform “California Sober,” their collaboration from Malone’s August-released F-1 Trillion album.
The evening will also honor George Strait, recipient of the CMA Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award.
Presenters include stars like Simone Biles, Jeff Bridges, Freddie Freeman, Don Johnson, Little Big Town, and Billy Bob Thornton.
