The final nominees for the 60th annual CMA Awards were revealed Thursday morning (Sept. 10). To no one’s surprise, Ella Langley led all nominees with nine nods, including her first entertainer of the year nominations.
She’s the only newbie in the entertainer of the year category, joining reigning champ Lainey Wilson, past winner Luke Combs and past nominees Chris Stapleton and Cody Johnson.
Miranda Lambert followed Langley with seven nominations, four of them coming from her work with Langley including co-writing “Choosin’ Texas,” which has spent a record-setting 21 weeks on top of the Billboard Hot 100. Lambert also earns her 19th nomination for female vocalist of the year. That sets a new record, surpassing Reba McEntire’s 18 nominations.
Other nominees reached major milestones, including Little Big Town, which received its 21st consecutive nomination for vocal group of the year, the most for any group.
The eligibility period is July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026. Additionally, for single of the year, the track must have reached the top 10 of Billboard’s Country Airplay or Hot Country Songs charts or the Country Aircheck chart.
The 60th CMA Awards will air on ABC and, for the first time, stream live on Disney + on Nov. 18 as part of a new six-year extension the CMA signed with Disney in May. It will stream starting Nov. 19 on Hulu.
