Him being omitted from Male Vocalist of the Year was surprising, given his year. But I definitely didn’t expect him to be nominated for anything outside that.

I would’ve put him in Stapleton’s place. Kane did a lot for this genre. For some reason the CMA didn’t nominate him. I wish I knew why. ?

Kane should've been nominated last year, his year this year was a bit quieter.

I’ll never understand artist that make huge amounts of money with no sign of slowing down take the time to complain. Complaining isn’t going to change anything and just makes you look petty.

A song I forgot about that should’ve been nominated for song of the year is Toby Keith - “Don’t let the old man in”.
I watched The Mule again tonight and remembered how great it is.

Was it not Dustin Lynch who released a video of him crying when he wasn't nominated for any of the ACM Awards after the huge success of 'Small Town Boy'? I could empathize with wanting to be recognized, but c'mon.. you're still well off and it makes you look kind of like a brat.

Making music for the sake of getting awards isn’t artistry. FLAGA did the same thing after they didn’t get any Grammy nominations during the height of the “Cruise” craze. Pretty sure I remember Aldean making some sort of comments in a similar vein, too, yeah?
It never speaks well. To be upset is valid, but...maybe alleviate anger awaaaaay from social media.

I'm all for Kane Brown never getting nominated for anything, ever. I will admit i do actually think he has a decent voice but he comes across as a punk, and it sure looks like needs to grow up.

Yep seems to be the common trend. Didn’t Kelsea Ballerini also put something on twitter after ACM nominations were announced?

I don't think it's unreasonable to be upset or disappointed, and people nowadays put everything on social media.

Couple of predictions:
Carrie performs some variation of the medley she does on tour with her tour mates to open the CMAs (having Dolly and Reba sing their respective songs as surprises); also performing with her tour mates and perhaps a few other legendary women to sing their respective songs in the medley as well.
Also, Loretta Lynn will make an appearance either by performing or by being honored (I’m sure they have some namesake award they could give her)... I know she has been okay lately so a performance; perhaps with some other ladies to help, would make for a special moment, and I can totally see it happening! However, given her age and health struggles as of late, Loretta attending would be special; knowing damn well the hosts would shed light on her all night!

I want every female EOTY recipient to be on-hand to present this year’s EOTY to Carrie.

I wish people didn’t vote for EOTY based solely on tours; it’s not a touring award. I’d argue touring is and should be a major consideration, but overall ambassadorship to the genre is really what the award is about, and I think Carrie has the entire category beat when it comes to that. I think all five nominees are incredibly deserving one way or another, but based on the criteria of the award itself, I think Carrie should win this hands down.

But as far as the tours go, Carrie puts on a better show than Eric does. My guess is anyone in Eric's corner for EOTY probably hasn't been to one of the CP360 shows. I've been to both. Its absolutely top notch, no one touches her. I like Eric, but this is Carrie's year.

Back in 2016 when she got nominated and Taylor Swift was going to present it everyone was almost certain she was going to win. As in Taylor being the last female winner “handing” it off to a new female recipient

I wish people didn’t get nominated when they did little of consequence besides tour. I.e. Miranda, LBT, Stapleton.

Chris Stapleton and Keith Urban had the best shows this past year imo. Still pulling for Carrie then Eric however as there’s more to it than just touring.

So I have a question, we know that during the show Carrie, Reba and Dolly will certainly bring up the lack of women on country radio nowadays. In fact, it may be talked about multiple times like it was at the CMT awards back in June. However, do you think this will change the way country radio plays women afterward. It didn't do anything notable after the CMTs but I am pretty sure those aren't nearly as watched nor taken seriously. Do you think anything could change because of this night?

One event is unlikely to change anything, barring some spectacular circumstances. It's going to take a continued effort for a long time for change to happen.

It didn't do anything notable after the CMTs but I am pretty sure those aren't nearly as watched nor taken seriously. Do you think anything could change because of this night? The impact will not come so much from the hosts (Carrie already gets airplay, and the others aren't really gunning for it at this point) but from how the rest of the show is booked. If they put NEW women (not just Kelsea and Maren) in position to have a "Chris Stapleton moment" on this show ... and something takes off, it could theoretically lead to more support. Obviously, it's still a long shot - and requires a lot of pieces to fall into place. But the big concern here has been how serious ABC/CMA is about showcasing women. There's obviously a fear that they'll think they "made their point" simply by replacing Brad Paisley with two female artists ... and not place a MEANINGFUL spotlight on the gender imbalance and the women who deserve more attention/airplay.

Whens the last time a Female swept the categories on the CMA's that deserved the wins? Maybe if Maren Morris can sweep the categories she's in and have Carrie win Entertainer. That'll help the listeners realize that the music speaks for itself by showing that there are a lot of real good Female "Country" songs and labeled Female country singers out there. we'll have to wait and who will win on November 13th.

I can easily see Carrie, Maren, Kacey and Ashley winning in their categories. If so, it would not leave many for the men outside of Male Vocalist 😅

I'm all for women winning, and women getting airplay...but "Girl" doesn't deserve single. Now if Rainbow had a nomination, or Girl Going Nowhere, or other songs yes. But "girl" is meh

I don't think three different women have won all three in one year.
