Rumor has it Dolly will be opening the show with a plethora of female country artists, including Reba and Carrie.
... The main "vision" I cannot shake is Loretta presenting EOTY to Carrie. How amazing would that be!? Reba and Dolly escort Loretta to the podium; the three of them standing there as the nominees are presented, then Loretta says, "Carrie Underwood". GAHHHHHHH I'm losing my mind over this show, I cannot wait - I think I'm more excited for this than I was in 2016! Definitely setting myself up for major disappointment if things don't go Carrie's way, but at this point the ship has already sailed... Hurry up!!!

I read through that earlier today and completely agree that this seems to be the year that Carrie will finally win. The only other nominee that I'd be ok with winning would be Eric Church but I still feel like this is Carrie's to lose.

Already laying the groundwork for de-legitimatizing her win, among certain factions. Newsflash, same forces are at work every year. All awards shows have some amount of politics & agenda's.

I’m not sure how you read this article and walked away thinking that the author Trigger is trying to de-legitimize her potential win. As he said it’s simply a prediction. I’ll even quote the final paragraph since you must’ve missed it: If Carrie Underwood wins, this won’t solve the problems for women in country music. It will just be a symbolic gesture. But it would be a gesture earned, and not just an important gesture for Carrie Underwood, but an important gesture for country music that no matter what situations plague radio, touring, festivals, or anything else, a woman can still be considered the greatest entertainer in a give year, just like Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire, The Dixie Chicks, and others have done in the past. And it’s not just because Carrie Underwood is a woman. It’s because Carrie Underwood has earned it.

cousingerard: If you would be up to it, you can start a thread with the C.M.A. Award winners and nominees. I think it would be a great reference tool. If you do it, let me thank you in advance. Then I'll delete this post.

The only other option I will accept is Loretta not being able to be there (her health and whatnot) while Reba & Dolly are the ones to hand it to her. If that doesn't go down then what was the point (I ask that facetiously)

It would be cool to see Carrie win EOTY this year, not because the show is going to be focused on the women but because of the impressive year she had.
I’m really excited for this year’s show!

This might be a pipe dream but can we get a performance of “We Were” with both Keith and Eric? Eric adds so much to the song and it really needs all the boost it can get.

Extremely excited for Pink/Stapleton. That song is gorgeous.

Good start to the performers! Ready to see some of those performances.
Would bet we will still see Kelsea, Thomas, Dan & Shay and Lady A added amongst others.
Pipe dream would be for this to be the TV debut of Carly & Lee’s duet....but i highly doubt i will get my wish

Curious as to whether or not Kacey will perform. She’s done “Rainbow” on live TV several times already, and she’s confirmed that the GH era is closing with her final show at Bridgestone on Friday. I’m sure she’ll attend (and hopefully win), but I’m curious to see if a performance is even in the cards. She’s had such a groundbreaking year, esp. in the time between when she won the Album CMA last November and today.

I've never actually watched the CMA Awards and I don't know why, but I think I'll tune in this year because it's gonna be one hell of a night. And if Lady Antebellum could sneak into the list of performers, that'd be even better!

Why can't Reba sing a new song instead of a three decade old song?

Why can't Reba sing a new song instead of a three decade old song? !!!! I love Reba and her music (especially that iconic song) to death, but her LAST solo performance at the CMAs was of this song. I'd use the opportunity to perform something from STTT like SIASG or TBGL, or maybe even another performance of Freedom. It would help boost album sales even if just a bit. Then again it's Queen Reba who can do no wrong, and maybe this ain't her only performance. If this is a rumor then somebody correct me, but I thought she was going to also be doing a performance with lots of female artists, including Maren, Dolly, and Carrie.

Seems odd that Eric Church and Luke Combs are going to perform their last hits instead of their current singles (especially in Luke's case -- ETIL is already smashing). The other performances all make sense though (initially thought the same for Maren Morris doing "Girl," but she performed w/ Bros Osborne and did "All My Favorite People" at the ACMs) and I'm excited to see what else we get added. Really looking forward to the performances for "Drinking Alone" and "It All Comes Out in the Wash."

Some Of It has no televised performance. He did medley on CMA Fest which was not televised. Really not sure what is going on in Luke's case, especially it was performed on CMT Awards already.

Yeah, but not every single needs to be performed live on an awards show. "Monsters" would've been a much better pick, since "Some of It" peaked awhile ago and it just isn't a song that feels like it needed a live performance (like it wasn't an undeniable career hit or anything). But yeah, Luke's was the bigger head-scratcher of the two.

for Combs he should've done "Brand New Man" with Brooks & Dunn. Eric Church's choice is fine with me.

Just thought I’d thought let you know that it’s Zach Williams not Zane Williams performing with Dolly.

This is shaping up to be a great show. I LOVE that twice in the last four shows, the CMAs have chosen a “theme” - I think it helps take the show in a more encompassing direction; you get a wide array of performers, old and new, because a theme would almost always include honoring the past in some way. Other ideas would be: honor all of the EOTY winners or honor specific artists or groups of artists who’ve passed on, etc. In any case, the performances are set to be top notch this year. I’m literally excited for every minute of this show...
