I’m excited about Lady A performing but whyyyy with Halsey? Not a huge fan of her but I still have hopes for the performance.

Halsey is a really good singer. I love her music. I think her with Lady A will be a good performance. It'll be interesting to see which songs they sing.

Considering that CMA's have used God's Country as the background music in all of their show promos this year....glad we're not getting Hell Right though
(and I'm going to predict a big night for God's Country)

I'd like to see more classic female performers (and maybe there is still plans for this??) but yeah i would rather see the likes of Shania, Faith, Martina, Trisha, etc than songs that have already been done or have already peaked. I can only imagine hard it is for them to fit everything in, and i know most of these ladies don't get current hits anymore but i just look back at how awesome the 50th CMA's were with all the legends that were there and i'm sitting here hoping something similiar to that show happens on this show with a number of the legendary female singers out there.

Very excited to see Kelsea do "Homecoming Queen?" What a song. I'm ready for her to have a real moment with that one. Can't wait to see Kacey + Willie, either.
Dan + Shay performing "Speechless" is a bummer though. Would've been a huge get for them to do the new single with Justin Bieber, especially since the awards shows love having outside acts in performances for additional outside attention (see Halsey tacked onto Lady A's stint), but even if he couldn't make the show or w/e, they could've at least found a way to do it solo. Doing "Speechless" seems so pointless at this point.

Don’t disagree with what your saying....and also am excited to see Kelsea’s performance.

My final predictions for the show!
Entertainer of the Year
Garth Brooks Eric Church Chris Stapleton Carrie Underwood Keith Urban
My prediction: Carrie Underwood wins - if not Carrie, Eric. It seems, however, that all signs are pointing towards Carrie and it's clear Carrie's team is going extra hard for it. I would be utterly shocked, and frankly devastated if she doesn't win this year. I could go into detail, but it's nothing that hasn't been said already. Carrie should and will win EOTY 2019.
Single of the Year
“Burning Man” – Dierks Bentley Feat. Brothers Osborne
“Girl” – Maren Morris
“God’s Country” – Blake Shelton
“Millionaire” – Chris Stapleton
“Speechless” – Dan + Shay
My prediction: "God's Country" - Blake Shelton. I have a feeling Blake wins this one, would love to see "Girl" win, but Blake has been in a dry-spell and it seems "God's Country" is just what fans and critics were waiting for. "Speechless" is also a major contender, this one could really go any way.
Album of the Year
Center Point Road – Thomas Rhett Producers: Dann Huff, Jesse Frasure, Thomas Rhett, Julian Bunetta, The Stereotypes, Cleve Wilson
Cry Pretty – Carrie Underwood Producers: David Garcia, Jim Jonsin, Carrie Underwood
Dan + Shay – Dan + Shay Producers: Dan Smyers, Scott Hendricks
Desperate Man – Eric Church Producers: Jay Joyce, Arturo Buenahora, Jr.
Girl – Maren Morris Producers: busbee, Maren Morris, Greg Kurstin
My prediction: "Desperate Man" - Eric Church. Although I'd love to see Carrie win her first Album award at the CMAs, I think this one is Eric's to lose. Since I'm going with Carrie for EOTY, Eric can have this one. But I would have no issue with Carrie taking both...
Song of the Year
“Beautiful Crazy” Songwriters: Luke Combs, Wyatt B. Durrette III, Robert Williford
“Girl” Songwriters: Maren Morris, Sarah Aarons, Greg Kurstin
“God’s Country” Songwriters: Devin Dawson, Jordan Schmidt, Michael Hardy
“Rainbow” Songwriters: Natalie Hemby, Shane McAnally, Kacey Musgraves
“Tequila” Songwriters: Dan Smyers, Nicolle Galyon, Jordan Reynolds
My prediction: "Rainbow" - Kacey Musgraves. Honestly, this is probably one of the toughest categories, but "Rainbow" was a big hit overall and Kacey should see some love from the CMA this year after starting out with such a big bang at the Grammys, winning the all-genre "Album of the Year" is pretty remarkable, so I think this is where the CMAs will show her love. Any of these songs minus "Tequilla" should/could win. I love "Tequilla" but that song is old news - it shouldn't be winning CMAs nearly two years after it made its initial splash, especially against the likes of all the others.
Female Vocalist of the Year
Kelsea Ballerini Miranda Lambert Maren Morris Kacey Musgraves Carrie Underwood
My prediction: Maren Morris. I think this is where they show Maren some love. She is this year's top nominee; it's highly unlikely she goes home empty-handed, and this award seems most fitting. It's a three horse race; Carrie, Kacey, and Maren - I wouldn't be shocked if any of those three are called, and of course I'd love Carrie to close in on Miranda's record, (as long as Carrie wins EOTY and/or Album, I'd love to see a new name in the mix for Female). Based on how Carrie's team has been campaigning, it wouldn't surprise me at all if she wins this, but I would love to see Maren or Kacey have their moment of glory. The last time a woman not named Taylor, Miranda, or Carrie won this award was in 2005 when Gretchen Wilson won - it's time for a new name to be called!
Male Vocalist of the Year
Dierks Bentley Luke Combs Thomas Rhett Chris Stapleton Keith Urban
My prediction: Luke Combs. Please no Chris Stapleton, was over that barrage of awards and acclamation in like 2017, and Luke Combs is THE s**t. Love his voice, his demeanor, his music, his song-writing, etc. He takes me back to the 90s with his sound and writing. Luke should and absolutely will win this.
Vocal Group of the Year
Lady Antebellum Little Big Town Midland Old Dominion Zac Brown Band
My prediction: Old Dominion.
Vocal Duo of the Year
Brooks & Dunn Brothers Osborne Dan + Shay Florida Georgia Line Maddie & Tae
My prediction: Dan + Shay. Huge year for them and I don't see this going any other way.
Musical Event of the Year
“All My Favorite People” – Maren Morris (feat. Brothers Osborne)
“Brand New Man” – Brooks & Dunn (with Luke Combs)
“Dive Bar” – Garth Brooks & Blake Shelton
“Old Town Road (Remix)” – Lil Nas X feat. Billy Ray Cyrus
“What Happens In A Small Town” – Brantley Gilbert & Lindsay Ell
My prediction: "All My Favorite People". Busbee's recent death (right before final voting) will likely lead to a win here. AMFP is already super deserving with two of this year's top nominees on the track, but considering recent events I'd be shocked if anything else won this.
Musician of the Year
Jenee Fleenor, Fiddle Paul Franklin, Steel Guitar Mac McAnally, Guitar Ilya Toshinsky, Banjo/Guitar Derek Wells, Guitar
My prediction: Mac McAnally. Another huge year for him, not much more to say. Would love to see Jenee take it (considering the historical significance of her nomination and the theme of the year), but I don't know if that will be enough to garner enough votes for a win up against a huge name like Mac.
Music Video of the Year
“Burning Man” – Dierks Bentley Feat. Brothers Osborne
“Girl” – Maren Morris
“God’s Country” – Blake Shelton
“Rainbow” – Kacey Musgraves
“Some Of It” – Eric Church
My prediction: "Burning Man". This is where, like usual, they'll show Dierks "love" - with the help of Brother Osborne on the track, I think Dierks take this one.
New Artist of the Year
Cody Johnson Ashley McBryde Midland Carly Pearce Morgan Wallen
My prediction: ASHLEY MCBRYDE! A tough category, but I think Ashley has caught enough momentum to take this one, and she absolutely should!

I wonder if somebody will sing a Ray Stevens song as a way to acknowledge him for getting into the Hall Of Fame. That would be awesome.

I was thinking about some singers getting together to sing “Everything Is Beautiful” . That would be awesome.

It's been a while since Kathy Mattea, Pam Tillis, and Janie Frickie have been on the CMAs, wasn't Kathy Mattea nominated for EOTY at some point?

Not that I'm surprised she's just presenting, but it would've been lovely to see Trisha Yearwood have the opportunity to perform "Every Girl in This Town" on the CMAs given her return to releasing a new album for the first time in over a decade and that the song has done pretty well at radio (debuted strongly just outside the top 20 due to an airplay deal, but it's continued to hang around for months in the 30s, which I'm sure few expected). Given the female empowerment theme, she would've fit nicely into that narrative as well.

Kathy Mattea was one of the first artists I remember hearing; my grandmother was a major fan at the time and always had her music playing in her house. I wish she continued performing at the level she was at in the late 80s/early 90s. Did she stop or did she stop gaining support? I know that’s a loaded question but it kind of seems like she was huge and then disappeared...

Her last album that had a a hit was Love Travels in 1997. Since then she's released The Innocent Years - 2000 Roses - 2002 Joy For Christmas Day - 2003 Right Out Of Nowhere - 2005 Coal - 2008 Calling Me Home - 2012 Go Tell It On The Mountain - 2014 Pretty Bird - 2018 Calling Me Home in particular was pretty fantastic, and her newest one is also really lovely.

I think what's even more sad, is given how colossal Carrie's Some Hearts + Carnival Ride + Play On + Blown Away eras were yet none of them warranted her at least a nomination in EOTY .... The CMAs really hate women who succeed don't they?

Lmao, it’s actually managed to worsen severely between the freaking 70s/80s and today. There were a few years with more than one female nominated! And yet, each year from 2001 to 2007 didn’t have so much as even a single woman or women-inclusive act nominated. Batshit.

Lady A and Halsey? What an unexpected combo lol. I don't know what they would even perform... Maybe they'll do a duet of "Ocean". Halsey has a great voice so I'm sure whatever they do will be great.

Or Brad Paisley will run across the stage wearing just a barrel so he can be in the limelight while Keith Urban sings "The Streak".
