So far, so good…
As of right now, only 4 categories for the 2019 CMA Awards have been announced, but Eric Church has snagged two nominations in major categories. His critically-acclaimed album, Desperate Man, was nominated for Album of the Year and he was also nominated for the night’s top honor, the highly-coveted Entertainer of the Year.
Carrie Underwood was also nominated in the EOTY category, the first woman since Carrie herself in 2016, and we have Cody Johnson Morgan Wallen earning nods for New Artist of the Year. Of course, Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus’ “Old Town Road” was nominated for Musical Event.
