Wow! I gotta say kudos to the CMA for going all out to feature as many females as they can on this night. This is pretty incredible. That said, I’m really pulling for a great night for Eric Church. I would give anything for him to be named Entertainer but it’s looking more promising for Carrie.

I know Loretta has been up and down health wise, I’m starting to think she won’t be there... OR she could be a surprise!?
It just feels like this night CANNOT be complete without Loretta, but I completely understand if she can’t make it...

I'm happy to see so many female performers...but I REALLY wish they'd be given the opportunity to sing their own songs. Especially the ones who are nominated for awards.

Interesting tidbit I read, if Carrie wins anything tomorrow, she joins the Dixie Chicks and Miranda as the only women with 10 or more CMA awards. Fingers crossed!

0/2 so far for me. Glad to see Kacey got some love, but "Rainbow" winning MV tells me she may be out of the running for Song/Single - MV seems to have become more or less a consolation prize, but we'll see. And LMAO at OTR; this is Billy Ray's first CMA (and second overall) since the year I was born, 1992.
ETA, from the video clips of the opening performance, it looks like Gretchen is doing "Redneck Woman", Crystal Gayle is singing "Don't It Make My Brown Eyes Blue", and Martina is trying "Independence Day".

This is going to seem weird but I woke up today thinking it was Thursday and for some reason knowing Carly Pearce had won Best New Artist. I tried to think about who else won but I couldn’t and then it hit me that the show is tonight. My subconscious is telling me Carly wins BNA for some reason!

Yep... unfortunately, that’s the first thing that crossed my mind when I saw her win... hopefully we’re both wrong lol Btw, this is Kacey’s forth CMA win in competitive categories (plus 2 wins for the International Artist Achievement Award)... has any other female won that many CMA awards without ever winning Female Vocalist?

2 for 2 for me! Thrilled for both of those wins. A gay black man just won a CMA, y’all. This is outstanding.

I’m praying they don’t give the CMA to Garth simply because he’s Garth. It irritates me how the Association feels so indebted to reward him nearly every tome he’s nominated because of his name.

So if they’re doing their biggest hits, do we see Sara doing “Born to Fly” or “A Little Bit Stronger”?

SO happy with the two awards announced so far! I’m so excited (and nervous) about tonight. Really hoping Carrie (and some other females) can pull off some big wins... because they deserve it.

I have a good feeling they will try spreading the wealth among the females this year... Kacey already won one and other females have great chances like Carrie (Entertainer), Maren (Female Vocalist / Album) and Ashley (Best New Artist).

I couldn't definitively tell from the clip because it was just video, no audio, but it seemed like BTF is what she was singing. I tried paying attention to the ladies in the background but I still couldn't quite tell. Below is a link to the video I'm talking about. www.youtube.com/watch?v=z7CeWMBpBIM

The genre will evolve and change by taking what is country and making slight alterations to it. It will not evolve by taking what is not country at all and just calling it country.

This was one of Billy Duke's conclusions during his many interviews during CMA week. Anybody have an idea who it may be?

It will not evolve by taking what is not country at all and just calling it country. It’s literally just as country sounding as any modern country track out there that isn’t by Eric Church or Chris Stapleton, but go on with your closed mindset.

It will not evolve by taking what is not country at all and just calling it country. What one person considers not-country, another person might. This is the *key* problem with country traditionalists: there is only one right answer. It’s maddening that, in an age where there are so many coexisting forms of each genre, it’s the country traditionalists that continue to piss on everything that doesn’t line up with what *they* believe to be right. Maybe, just maybe...there’s no right or wrong way of making country music anymore? As long as it maintains some elements of what the genre is typified by, who cares how else it’s produced? If you don’t like it, fine. But don’t delegitimize something just because it doesn’t match your own, single-lens view of what something should (or shouldn’t) be.

“Old Town Road” was a huge musical event in all respects. Whether you consider it country or not (I don’t), it did in fact connect with a lot of people even in the country genre. So I don’t see a huge issue with it winning that award (especially considering “Meant to Be” was nominated last year).
And about that tweet: I’d assume it would be the Zac Brown Band, just because Zac Brown has basically destroyed their radio career.

My first guess is Lady Antebellum, or perhaps even Rascall Flatts? He had previously posted the same day with positive things to say about Lady A and Runaway June. So I think they are in the clear. I was thinking maybe Midland? It couldn't be The Highwomen, could it? I really have nothing to base my guesses off of.
