Country music stars are celebrating big wins at the 2023 CMA Awards.
This year’s ceremony, which takes place on Wednesday, November 8, at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, is being hosted by NFL legend Peyton Manning and country music’s own Luke Bryan for the second year in a row. In addition to his hosting duties, Bryan, 47, will perform a medley of his hits during the show, including “One Margarita,” “That’s My Kind of Night,” “Country Girl (Shake It for Me)” and more.
Other performances will come from some of country music’s biggest names, like Kelsea Ballerini, Chris Stapleton, Little Big Town and Lainey Wilson — the latter of whom leads this year’s nominees with nine nods.
Wilson, 31, is breaking all types of CMA Awards records. She is the first artist in 13 years to land two nominations for Single of the Year. Wilson and Carrie Underwood are also both up for Entertainer of the Year, marking the first time that two women have been nominated in the category for four consecutive years.
“Holy moly y’all. Someone pinch me. I can’t believe my eyes,” Wilson wrote via X (formerly known as Twitter) after the nominations were announced in September. “Being nominated in these categories with my friends means the world to me. Entertainer of the Year?! Absolutely surreal. We bust our butts on the road every night to give yall the best show & I have the time of my life doing it. All I gotta say is thank yall. I love country music.”
Jelly Roll follows Wilson with five nominations while Luke Combs and HARDY are both tied for third with four each.
