Lainey Wilson is gearing up to host the 60th annual CMAs for the third consecutive time next week.
She joked during a conversation on Amazon Music’s Country Heat Weekly podcast, she told Ella Langley that she’s going to bring her a bedazzled broom so she can sweep the awards. She said, “I’m going to be there with a bedazzled dust pan.”
Ella leads the nominations with nine, so she could very well win quite a few awards. There have also been more performers announced. They include Luke Combs, Vince Gill, Megan Moroney, Mumford & Sons, and Chris Stapleton.
There will also be a tribute to Brooks & Dunn performed by Brothers Osborne, Luke Bryan, Halestorm, Hardy, and Marcus King. Brooks & Dunn are this year’s recipients of the CMA Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award.
Side note here. How does Halestorm meet the criteria for CMAs, but guys like Sammy Kershaw didn’t? And who came up with the criteria?
