Ella, Kacey, Cody and Tim Taking the CMAs Stage
The 60th CMA Awards are going big for the diamond anniversary, with a performance lineup that neatly bridges country’s established stars and its current hitmakers—and a Dolly Parton tribute that should give the Bridgestone Arena crowd plenty to sing about.
The event will host Cody Johnson, Miranda Lambert, Ella Langley, Tim McGraw, Kacey Musgraves, The Red Clay Strays, Zach Top and Tucker Wetmore. Lainey Wilson returns to host for the third consecutive year.
Langley leads the field with nine nods, following her three wins at last year’s ceremony. Lambert follows with seven nominations, including two for Single of the Year and one for Album of the Year as a producer. She also earned her 19th Female Vocalist nomination, extending her record for the most CMA nominations by a female artist with 70.
The CMA Awards air Nov. 18 live on ABC and Disney+, with next-day streaming on Hulu.
