Rumor has it Taylor Swift might show up tonight. LBT was asked the question in an interview and they refrained from answering anything. Oh boy, I've got my fingers crossed that this means "Better Man" is winning something. <3 ETA: 14887fan but I thought Kenny Chesney had already announced he's not going to be there? Mess.

If the awards were based on statistics, you would know who won ahead of time. No need for nominations. Just look to see who was #1 and who was #1 the longest. Also it's called the billboard awards and happens in the spring.

Knowing that he already said a while back that he wouldn't be in attendance, it might've just been a Freudian slip by Kellie.

Now with the rumors of Taylor Swift attending I'm getting the feeling she might win ...

Here we go with my predictions as promised!
Should Win
Entertainer - Eric Church
Male - Chris Stapleton
Female - Maren Morris
Duo - Florida Georgia Line
Group - Old Dominion
New Artist - Jon Pardi
Album - From A Room : Vol. 1
Single - "Body Like A Back Road"
Song - "Better Man"
Will Win
Entertainer - Garth Brooks
Male - Thomas Rhett
Female - Miranda Lambert
Duo - Brothers Osborne
Group - Little Big Town
New Artist - Jon Pardi
Album - The Weight Of These Wings
Single - "Body Like A Back Road"
Song - "Tin Man"
Ok so I want to take back what I said about Miranda last night. I think she will walk away with 3 awards, the most wins of the night. Here is the thing though I'm torn because the 3 awards i think she will win are going to be close. Female Vocalist is between her and Maren Morris. I could see Maren taking Female Vocalist as one of the surprise wins of the night. Album is between her and Chris Stapleton. Little Big Town and Lady A had strong showings but Miranda and Stapleton are CMA voter favorites. Song of they Year we will see either an artist with a #1 hit from the 2000's decade (Jack Ingram) or a pop princess (Taylor Swift) holding the award. Now I want to talk about Female and Male Vocalist. Why does the CMA call the awards this? I mean if their going to call it a vocalist award then we need to be giving the Female award to Reba every time she's nominated. They've honestly got Male right the last couple years with Chris Stapleton. They give the awards out like they should be called Male Artist Or Female Artist of the Year. Lol. Sorry this has always confused me and I'm ranting but when I see Vocalist I always think better singer but I know they don't mean that.

Keep in mind that Ms. Swift is also SNL's musical guest this weekend. That means if she shows up in Nashville tonight and wins, she wouldn't have much time to celebrate. She would have to book either an overnight or early-morning flight to be in New York by tomorrow.

You can bet the farm she'll be at tonight's award show.

Eh at Taylor Swift. My opinion of her has really changed this album era as her music to me has really tanked and I really hope "Better Man" doesn't win as I just don't want the award show to be Taylor Swift on the screen (that's why the 2015 ACMS were pretty bad as it seemed like she was the main focus despite already being out of country music).

The opening was great!
My gosh, Darius Rucker sounded phenomenal! I'm not typically a fan of his, but this style of music is where his voice truly shines.

Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood are fantastic hosts, as usual.
