The Country Music Awards 2021 – What to Expect
The Country Music Awards are just around the corner and we can’t wait to see what’s in store! Here’s what we’re expecting from this year’s show.
Introduction
The 53rd annual Country Music Association Awards are right around the corner. The show is set to air live on Wednesday, November 11th at 8:00 pm EST on ABC. This will be the first time in seven years that the CMAs will be held in Nashville, Tennessee. The show will be hosted by Reba McEntire and Darius Rucker.
This year’s show is shaping up to be an exciting one with some great performances lined up. Some of the artists scheduled to perform include Carrie Underwood, Florida Georgia Line, Chris Stapleton, Eric Church, Luke Bryan, Miranda Lambert, Maren Morris, Keith Urban, Lady A and more.
In addition to the great performances, fans can also expect to see some impressive moments during the show. One of those moments will most likely be when Garth Brooks is presented with the coveted “Entertainer of the Year” award. This will be his seventh time winning this prestigious award, which ties him with famed country artistes George Strait and Alan Jackson. If he does win it again this year, he will hold the record on his own. All three artists have won the award a total of six times each.
Other awards that will be presented during the show include “Album of the Year”, “Song of the Year”, “Male Vocalist of the Year” and “Female Vocalist of the Year”. The nominees for these coveted awards have already been announced and can be found on the CMA website (link below).
This is sure to be a night filled with great country music performances and memorable moments. Be sure to tune in!
