The Country Music Awards have found a deeper well of winners.
Indeed, country music’s biggest night commenced Nov. 20 at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, and some of the 58th CMA Awards attendees…

Shaboozey, who was nominated for CMA Awards in the New Artist of the Year and Single of the Year categories, also weighed in on the nominations.
“It’s definitely unfortunate, if that was something she was looking to receive, something that she worked for,” he told E! News at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards. “It really sucks, because I know as an artist, you put a lot of time and work and a lot of energy into music.”
But, as he noted, the lack of nominations doesn’t take away from Beyoncé’s impact, in country music and beyond. “You know, awards aren’t everything,” the 29-year-old, who collaborated on two Cowboy Carter songs, continued. “As long as you’re connecting with people genuinely, making music that’s impacting people—that’s all that matters. She changed my life, and the lives of other artists as well.”
The CMA Awards air live on Wednesday, Nov. 20 at 8 p.m. ET on ABC, and keep reading for a complete breakdown of Beyoncé’s Cowboy Carter.

These stars go all out for a beautiful crazy country music date night.
While celebrating the latest and greatest in country music at the Country Music Association Awards, many of the genre’s biggest names are doing so with their loved ones by their side—and the 2024 ceremony will be no different.
In fact, over the years a number of fan-favorite couples have strapped on their boots and saddled up to make their marks on the red carpet.
Luke Bryan—who is cohosting this year’s ceremony alongside Lainey Wilson and Peyton Manning—and his wife Caroline Boyer have often walked the red carpet together, including in 2021 when he hosted and took home the coveted Entertainer of the Year Award.
Last year, country princess Kelsea Ballerini—who is nominated for Musical Event of the Year alongside folk singer Noah Kahn for their song “Cowboys Cry Too”—and her boyfriend, Outer Banks star Chase Stokes, made their official CMA Awards couple debut, with photographers capturing their first heartwarming moments on the carpet.
