Carrie Underwood - Entertainer of the Year
She’s overdue, and she’s currently embarking on her biggest tour yet. But, more importantly, she’s accomplishing this feat with all-female opening acts and as the mother to a newborn. I think she has the perfect narrative to take home the award this time around.

If Reba could somehow find a way to sneak into the album nominations, I would not be unhappy!

I would love to see Kacey nominated in Entertainer of the Year. She has achieved SO MUCH this past year... that being in terms of commercial success, accolades, acclaim, visibility (...), it's really crazy to see!
After performing on 5 different continents this past year alone, headlining her own world tour and breaking barriers for country music being on some of the biggest music festivals in the world, an Entertainer of the Year nod would be the cherry on top of an incredible year for her.

Pistol Annies' Interstate Gospel could replace Honky Tonk Time Machine as Album of the Year nominee.

Pistol Annies' Interstate Gospel could replace Honky Tonk Time Machine as Album of the Year nominee. I could see them getting a nomination for Album of the Year as well and I actually did have it down on my list before I rounded it out at five nominees. If I’m correct Honky Tonk Time Machine is thus far the highest selling country album of the year (minus streaming) so I’m giving George the edge here.

I think Interstate Gospel is the second most acclaimed country album last year, and a third AOTY nominee by women suits the industry narrative.

A perfect excuse to knock Thomas Rhett out of the album category! I’m sure hoping he doesn’t get an Album nomination! And recordyear I agree with you I’m really hoping the Pistol Annies get a nomination as it was one of my favorite albums last year (I even bought the vinyl lol) so no need to debate this point

While we are discussing Pistol Annies, let's consider Vocal Group of the Year nomination for them as well (even though Old Dominion will win it due to lack of competition).

The Group Nominees are so weak this year with LBT and RF having bad years + OD, LA and Midland not impacting in the same way that they may as well throw Sara Evans' family band side project in there just for her vocals alone.

Maybe it's a clue that it's for Dan + Shay's next single? The image looks similar to the way their current era's single artworks have been styled.

Seems odd that WMN would wait almost two months on the next single....but be running BB art for it now?

Yeah, it'll be a bit of a gap but I still wouldn't expect their next single to get an adds date until like mid September at the earliest. Could be that maybe they're moving on to a new lead single? This is their biggest era at country radio by far, but we've still never had more than 3 singles from one of their eras.

And I believe the answer is Hunter Hays Which means the Dan comment is just highly amusing
