Kelsea better get nominated over Ashley Mcbryde for FAOTY. Carrie Underwood Miranda Lambert Maren Morris Kelsea Ballerini Kacey Musgraves Should actually be a dog fight this year if those are the final five nominees (and they should be)...all five of them would have a shot to win. I’m not sure who would even be the favorite..

Love Miranda and Carrie, but it's time to give it to new blood. I'd really be happy with any of Maren, Kelsea, or Kacey winning it. A strong case could be made for all three.

A case can still be made for Carrie as well though, highest grossing female tour, highest selling female album, two tops tens and an additional top 15. She went years being under recognized by the CMAs, so I am okay with them awarding her now to make up for neglecting her in the past - particularly the Blown Away era - when there's no doubt she's still the biggest female country act in the game.

I understand Carrie fans being mad at her 7-year losing streak this decade, but she's still a 5-time 'Female Vocalist of the Year' winner. That's huge! She's ahead of people like Dolly, Reba, Loretta, Tammy, (...) Calling her "under awarded" while being the second most awarded artist in that category feels a bit exaggerated to me I'm all for having, FINALLY, a new 'Female Vocalist of the Year' winner. I'm obviously biased for Kacey as a fan, but I wouldn't be upset seeing Maren winning too.

Really the only two artists who shouldn’t be considered for FVoTY is Kelsea and Miranda.

She's both been rewarded a ton, and probably lost out in years she should have won

Yeah, Carrie's still won plenty of awards. I know a lot of her fans are still miffed that Miranda has won so many Female Vocalist awards, but at the end of the day, Carrie's trophy cabinet is full and she's been around for over a decade. Carrie's category of focus at this stage should be EOTY imo because her touring draw is what sets her apart from the crowd, especially since we saw that both radio and the fans didn't take too well to the first two singles from Cry Pretty. I think Kacey or Maren would be the strongest cases for Female Vocalist this year. I'd rank Carrie in third or fourth (Kelsea stumbled w/ IHLS but "Miss Me More" was one of the biggest female hits of the year, she became an Opry member, and her star continues to rise as one of country's biggest females) for the running, personally.

The fact that the only categories that people seem to care for the most are EOTY and female vocalists says a lot. Meanwhile radio keeps deceiving themselves nobody wants to hear females

Yeah, it’s kinda crazy that Miranda is a clear fifth in “cases to win”....and then watch her get the trophy again. Lol i mean, she’s won doing less (although her competition is MUCH stronger than previous years.) I hope Maren is the favorite...she deserves it, and the category badly needs a fresh winner.

It would be so amazing having 2 females in EotY. Both Carrie and Kacey have great chances, but I'm not holding my breath considering the track record from the past few years

FVOTY is Kacey’s to lose, IMO. A serious case can be made for Carrie, Maren, and to a lesser (but still viable) extent, Kelsea. If not Kacey, it’s Carrie’s. However, Carrie’s team should have their eyes set on EOTY - it’s really the last major award she has yet to win... I mean, she doesn’t have a CMA Album award, but in terms of career accolades that go to the individual, CMA EOTY is really all that’s missing. Not to mention she actually has the stats overall to support a win, so I’m really hoping she makes the final nomination cut.
Carrie is far from “under rewarded”, but relatively speaking you’d think her CMA tally would be a little higher. Thank god it seems we’re past the voting bloc epidemic (at least moving away from that) - with the way the past few ceremonies have played out, it’s clear that really anyone can come through and win - so I’m hoping this is Carrie’s year, honestly because I don’t know that she’ll ever embark on a tour this massive again. She has two kids now and I imagine once they start school, she’ll wanna be home with them as much as possible... This tour may be her last shot at a win, sadly. I hope not, and I could be totally wrong - but for her kid’s sake I do hope she slows down once they get a little older!

Yep, when I think of "under rewarded" females, I think of people like Shania or Faith who, despite having huge careers, have only 1 and 3 CMAs awards respectively. That's crazy :o

Shania also won EOTY, which is a massive victory alone.

It sure is, but only one award for a career as huge as Shania's feels way too little (and I'm not even a huge Shania fan)

List from CMA nominee showcase (part II): Female vocalist of the Year Lauren Alaina Kelsea Ballerini Danielle Bradbery Brandi Carlile Lindsay Ell Crystal GayleMiranda Lambert Martina McBride Ashley McBryde Reba McEntire Maren Morris Kacey Musgraves Meghan Patrick Carly Pearce Cassadee Pope Margo Price Tenille Townes Carrie Underwood Lee Ann Womack Trisha Yearwood Crystal Gayle is in the running for Female Vocalist? No wonder why she is still not in the Hall of Fame - an artist who has not released an album since 2003 is still current to the CMA! (Yes, I know Crystal is releasing a new album next month and that other Hall of Famers still release new product like Vince Gill's forthcoming "Okie.") My point is how far back does the CMA have to reach to complete a ballot for Female Vocalist? Crystal was one of the five female artists (along with Debby Boone, Emmylou Harris, Dottie West and Tammy Wynette) who occupied the Billboard Hot Country Songs Top 5 for a week back in 1980. How country has regressed since then....

I’m thinking when “Honky Tonk Time Machine” gets the nomination for Album of the year MCA will release “Some Nights” as a single and get George a performance slot on the show.

Prediction: Luke Combs takes MVOTY
& wishful thinking: Kacey takes FVOTY

This is a list of artists that are being considered because they/their label/management submitted their name for contention, not because the people working for the CMAs sat down and brainstormed up a list. They'll only wind up picking 5 nominees for the final ballot and there's no way Crystal Gayle will be in there when it comes time for the nominations to be revealed anyway, so it doesn't really matter. Most of the women on here have no shot either, but there's basically 0 negative to at least throwing their hat into the ring.

I sort of see Kacey taking Female... and Entertainer.
Having Kacey and Carrie as my two favourite artists is hard! I really want Carrie winning that EOTY this year. It’s long over-due and she deserves it!
As far as Female, I think this is the order of chances for a win:
Kacey Carrie Maren Miranda Kelsea (I really hope she gets a nomination over any others...)

Kacey winning EOTY will be the biggest joke. I love her and she is awesome and her albums are fantastic but her accomplishment is nothing compared to other artists in the eligible year.

She won the GRAMMY for Album of the Year. From an awards/industry standpoint, you can’t accomplish anything higher than that. Having said that, I don’t think anyone’s got Kacey as a deadlock to win EOTY. It’d be great to see her nominated! In a perfect world, the CMA Entertainer noms this year would be: Carrie, Eric, Kacey, and 2 others that I really don’t care about b/c nobody else measures up.

Why will this be a big joke? She has been headlining Festivals that usually don't even include Country artists, all Summer. She's performed every single song from Golden Hour on a prime time TV spot.

As you said, seeing her nominated would be awesome already (and I'm not even very confident about that). Winning - even if very deserving - feels a bit improbable (especially considering she's a female)
Her tour schedule says she'll be on John Prine's "All The Best" Festival which takes place from Nov. 11 to 15. I wonder if she's not attending the CMAs this year. :(

It’s possible she’ll still be there! Looks like the schedule has yet to be released, so she may be scheduled for one of the days that aren’t the CMAs. :) Amanda Shires is also set to play that fest, and, esp. given this year’s theme of the show, I’d bet that The Highwomen are going to perform.
