2025 CMA Awards: What to expect on Country Music's Biggest Night

Country Music's Biggest Night Looms: What to Expect at the 59th CMA Awards

The wait is almost over for country music fans worldwide as the 59th CMA Awards is set to take place on ABC on November 19. This year's ceremony promises to be an exciting one, with a star-studded lineup of performers and nominees vying for top honors.

Hosted by none other than Lainey Wilson, this year's show marks her solo hosting debut, making her the third woman to helm the prestigious award ceremony after country legends Dolly Parton and Reba McEntire. Wilson herself has been nominated six times, including a nod for Entertainer of the Year alongside Luke Combs, Cody Johnson, Chris Stapleton, and Morgan Wallen.

In the running for Entertainer of the Year are three female artists - Lainey Wilson, Megan Moroney, and Ella Langley. Langley and Riley Green won Musical Event of the Year last year for their hit "You Look Like You Love Me", which is now nominated again this year in both Single and Song of the Year categories. Langley herself is also in contention for New Artist of the Year alongside Shaboozey, Zach Top, Stephen Wilson Jr., and Tucker Wetmore.

Other notable nominees include country powerhouses Little Big Town and Lady A, who are vying for Vocal Group of the Year against Rascal Flatts, The Red Clay Strays, and Old Dominion. This year's ceremony promises to be filled with excitement, glamour, and memorable performances as some of country music's biggest stars come together on one night.

The live streaming preshow, "On The Red Carpet at the CMA Awards", will go down earlier in the day on November 19, featuring exclusive interviews with nominees, performers, and presenters, as well as red carpet fashion analysis. Fans can stream it all live on OnTheRedCarpet.com, CMAAwards.com, YouTube.com/OnTheRedCarpet, and Hulu.

As the music industry's biggest night approaches, country fans worldwide are eagerly awaiting the announcements of winners for some of the most prestigious awards in country music.
 
omg i'm literally counting down the days till the 59th cma awards πŸŽ‰πŸŽΆ u know what's even more hyped than the performances tho? the drama 😏 i heard there's some tension between Lainey Wilson and one of the other female nominees for Entertainer of the Year... let's just say it's gonna be a wild night πŸ’β€β™€οΈπŸ‘― but for real, can't wait to see who takes home those awards πŸ†πŸ’«
 
🎢 the cma awards are always a wild ride. i think it's awesome that lainey wilson is hosting her first time, she seems super cool and fun 🀩. but honestly, can we talk about how cluttered the nominees list gets? so many talented artists, but it feels like we're just getting more and more choices 🀯. what's up with all these new faces trying to break in? give me a good ol' country classic any day 🎸
 
OMG, I'm so hyped for this year's CMA Awards!!! 🀩 Lainey Wilson is going to slay as host, and with a lineup that includes Luke Combs, Megan Moroney, and Ella Langley, it's gonna be EPIC! πŸŽ‰ The competition is fierce, especially in the Entertainer of the Year category - I'm rooting for Lainey all the way! πŸ’– And can we talk about how fabulous Little Big Town and Lady A are? πŸ’β€β™€οΈ They're always bringing the heat with their harmonies and style. I'm also loving that they're giving other talented groups a run for their money in Vocal Group of the Year. 🎸 It's gonna be such a fun night, and I'm so down to binge-watch all the behind-the-scenes goodies on OnTheRedCarpet.com! πŸ˜‰
 
πŸ€” So I'm thinking this year's 59th CMA Awards is gonna be lit πŸŽ‰! Lainey Wilson as a host? Yaaas, she's got the charisma and talent to bring it all together. And those performers? Can't wait to see Luke Combs, Chris Stapleton, and Morgan Wallen go head-to-head for Entertainer of the Year. It's gonna be tough for Langley and Riley Green to take home Musical Event of the Year again, but I'm rooting for them 🀞. Little Big Town and Lady A are always a powerhouse when it comes to Vocal Group of the Year. And with all these talented artists competing in multiple categories...this is shapin' up to be one wild night πŸ’₯🎢
 
OMG, I'm so stoked for the 59th CMA Awards 🀩! Lainey Wilson is gonna bring the house down as the hostess with the mostest πŸ‘―β€β™€οΈ and I love how they're giving it up for the ladies this year - six female artists are vying for Entertainer of the Year, which is so inspiring πŸ’–. Can't wait to see Little Big Town and Lady A slay in Vocal Group of the Year 🎀, and Langley's "You Look Like You Love Me" is one of my jams, let's get that win! πŸ†
 
I'm so over the 59th CMA Awards πŸ™„. Like, who needs another award show when we already have like a million of them? And hosting it on ABC is just lazy, can't they come up with something more original? Lainey Wilson's gonna host solo? Okay, cool I guess... she's got six nominations, that's impressive... but is it too much? I mean, six times nominated for Entertainer of the Year? No thanks. It's all so predictable and formulaic. And don't even get me started on the nominees... same old country powerhouses over and over again πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ. Can't we see some new faces or something? This whole thing just feels like more of the same old music industry hype πŸŽ‰
 
🌟 This reminds me, life's biggest nights can be overwhelming, but it's how we handle them that truly matters. Just like Lainey Wilson is stepping into her hosting debut, we're all stepping into new situations and opportunities every day πŸ€Έβ€β™€οΈ. It's okay to feel nervous or excited - the key is to stay focused on what you want to achieve πŸ’ͺ. And remember, it's not about who wins or loses, but how we learn and grow from the experience πŸ“š.
 
πŸŽ‰ The show must go on! As the great man himself once said... "The theatre is the greatest of all human creations." Can't wait to see what's in store at the 59th CMA Awards 🎡
 
omg cant wait 4 cain wilson slay the stage & hopefully my fave artist win lol @ rascal flatts being nominated alongside old dominion they should def take down thos old dudes πŸ€£πŸ’ƒπŸ»
 
omg u gotta be watching this! 🀩 Lainey Wilson as host? she's gonna bring that energy! i'm low-key rooting for langley to win new artist of the year tho, her vibe is everything πŸ’– and a live stream preshow sounds like so much fun! πŸ“Ί can't wait for all the performances & announcements on nov 19, it's gonna be a wild ride πŸ”₯
 
I'm telling you, the CMA Awards always get hyped up way too much 🀣. Like, people already know who's gonna win Entertainer of the Year - it's gotta be Luke Combs, am I right? He's been dominating the charts for years, and his albums are consistently bestsellers. The other nominees, like Lainey Wilson, are just trying to keep up πŸ˜‚. And don't even get me started on the red carpet fashion analysis πŸ›οΈ - those designers are gonna be raking it in from all the exposure.

Anyway, I'm kinda curious to see how the live streaming preshow goes down πŸ‘€. They're always good for some juicy interviews and behind-the-scenes peeks at the performers' prep work. And hey, if Lainey Wilson wins Entertainer of the Year (which she probably won't), at least she'll have a sweet trophy to add to her shelf πŸ’Ž.

By the way, has anyone checked out Langley's music lately? I feel like she's been flying under the radar, but that song "You Look Like You Love Me" is actually kinda catchy 🎡.
 
I'm kinda underwhelmed by this whole CMA Awards thing πŸ€”. I mean, don't get me wrong, it's cool that Lainey Wilson is hosting and all, but six nominations for her? That's a lot of hype if you ask me 😴. And what's up with the snubbing of some newer artists who actually produce some fresh music? It feels like the same old country stars are dominating the scene again 🎸. The fact that Langley and Riley Green won last year, but their song is nominated for Song of the Year this time around, just reeks of nepotism πŸ™„. Give me some new blood in country music, you know? πŸ˜’
 
omg u guys i just cant even think about anything else rn its almost time for the 59th CMA Awards 🀩🎸 i'm literally shook thinking lainey wilson is hosting solo and shes nominated six times incl being up for entertainer of the year alongside some of my fave artists lol what if she wins everything?? 🀞 i need to watch that live streaming preshow tho so many exclusive interviews & red carpet vibes πŸ’β€β™€οΈπŸ”₯ has anyone seen the nominees for new artist of the year ?? shaboozey and riley green are up against some amazing talent btw
 
I'm so hyped for this year's CMA Awards πŸŽ‰! Lainey Wilson is gonna kill it as a host, no doubt. And can we talk about how diverse the nominees are? I mean, women like Megan Moroney and Ella Langley making waves in Entertainer of the Year alongside some big-name guys... it's all about representation and fairness now πŸ™Œ. Plus, who doesn't love seeing Little Big Town and Lady A go head-to-head against some newbloods like Shaboozey and Zach Top? It's gonna be a wild ride on November 19th! 🎢
 
🎸 I'm super hyped for this year's CMA Awards 🀩! Lainey Wilson is going to bring so much energy as the new host πŸŽ‰. I've got a diagram of my predictions for Entertainer of the Year...

πŸŽ‰ I'm hyped for this year's CMA Awards! The fact that Lainey Wilson is hosting solo makes me excited to see her shine on stage. 🌟 It's awesome to see more female artists being recognized with nods for Entertainer of the Year, like Lainey and Megan Moroney. Their talent and dedication deserve the spotlight.

I'm also loving the diversity in the nominees - it's great to see country music's biggest stars coming together to celebrate their craft 🎢. The live streaming preshow sounds like a blast, can't wait to catch those exclusive interviews and fashion analysis on YouTube and Hulu! πŸ’ƒ And who knows, maybe we'll even get some epic performances from our favorite artists πŸ˜†. Bring it on, CMA Awards 2025! πŸŽ‰
 
I'm super hyped for the 59th CMA Awards 🀩! I've been following Lainey Wilson's journey and she's always slaying it πŸ’β€β™€οΈ. Having her as a host is gonna be fire πŸ”₯, and with that star-studded lineup of performers, it's gonna be one epic night πŸŽ‰. Whoever wins Entertainer of the Year is gonna deserve it, but I'm rooting for Lainey and Megan Moroney too πŸ’•. And can we talk about Langley and Riley Green's collab "You Look Like You Love Me" πŸ”₯? It's like, perfection on repeat 🎢. I'm also loving that Little Big Town and Lady A are up for Vocal Group of the Year - they're legends in their own right πŸ’―! Bring it on, CMA Awards, let's get this party started πŸŽ‰πŸ‘!
 
🎢 The 59th CMA Awards is just around the corner! πŸ•°οΈ I'm thinking that Lainey Wilson is going to bring a fresh energy as the host - solo hosting debut is cool! 🀩 It'll be awesome to see her vibe with other talented artists on stage.

Entertainer of the Year is looking pretty competitive, don't you think? 🎡 There's some great music out there right now, and it's interesting that three female artists are in the running for this award alongside the guys. I'm a bit curious to see how "You Look Like You Love Me" by Langley & Riley Green fares again - they did something special last year! πŸ’«

I also love that Hulu is streaming the live show, making it more accessible to fans worldwide. OnTheRedCarpet.com and YouTube will have some sweet extras too. πŸ“Ί Can't wait for November 19th!
 
I'm wondering what's gonna happen when Lainey Wilson takes the stage as the host... is she gonna make it a fun night or just kinda go through the motions? πŸ€” I mean, six nominations is crazy, but will she bring that energy to hosting the whole thing? And what about these new artist of the year nominees, have they got what it takes? Zach Top and Tucker Wetmore are on the list... who's been hiding under a rock for so long?! πŸ™ƒ
