I'm interested to see if Miranda's relatively poor year commercially combined with the fallout from the Blake separation hurt her this year. I could see her losing some support. Unlikely. Sure, we are all predicting a Carrie win in the Female Vocalist category this year, but Miranda will be nominated. Just because she won't be present in the Album/Single/Song categories this year doesn't mean it has anything to do with the reasons mentioned above. Will she have less of a presence on stage accepting awards this year? Sure. But it won't have anything to do with the divorce.

Dang it. I was hoping for a Reba female vocalist nomination so that she'd at least have a chance to perform. Surprised to see Lee Ann Womack there over her.

That was all the nominees announced thus far:
Surprised, but impressed with the Chris Stapleton love. Surprised, but thrilled with the revamp of the Male Vocalist category Love, love the New Artist category a perfect mix of artists who earned big hits and those who are critically acclaimed
Shocked no Reba love Shocked Miranda made the Entertainer category but Blake did not

That is one TIGHT Entertainer category. The fan in me wants Garth Brooks to win, but I'd LOVE to see Miranda win, too. AHHHH! I'm overwhelmed right now!!!

The biggest surprises for me were Reba's snub (I was sure she was got get in, but happy Lee Ann is there as well) and all the Chris Stapleton love... is he now the favorite for New Artist? Or is he this year's Jamey Johnson?

Yeah for Chris Stapleton!!!
I'm surprised Ballerini got in on the strength of one song. I know females are struggling in the industry right now, but Ashley Monroe or someone could have used that slot.

I know females are struggling in the industry right now, but Ashley Monroe or someone could have used that slot. I am not surprised. She definitely was one of the top five females for the year. I would have been fine with Ashley replacing LeeAnn, but I don't think you can have a female category this year without Kelsea.

Interesting list of nominees so far.
First, glad to see Chris Stapleton getting nods for Album and Male Vocalist; I'd expect to see him in the Single/Song categories as well or not lol.
And look who is missing again from the Entertainer and Male categories (again)...Jason Aldean. I'm not surprised by that at all.
And who is else is missing from Male and Album? Sam Hunt. Again, I'm not surprised as I wasn't expecting him to get nods but most on here did.
I was surprised to see Miranda nominated for Entertainer and not Blake; I think this is the one nomination I disagree with. I just don't think Miranda was deserving of a nod this year and would've liked to have seen Carrie or someone else in her spot.

Lol @ Miranda STILL managing 4 nominations.
Glad to see "Something in the Water" get some love...
Not sure what to think at this point. Kind of let down, looks like Miranda will win Female Vocalist again...

Not surprised by the "American Kids" nomination at all; it was released in the last week of June last year just when the eligibility period was ending for 2014 nominations. I fully expected it to get nominated this year and deservedly so. As for "I Don't Dance" getting nominated, I would've like to have seen a different song take its place, like I don't know maybe "Something In the Water" which is completely missing from both categories.
