Willing to bet that duet was born out of attempting to smooth out the Lady A image after the controversy, even though it's mostly blown over by now it seems and I still doubt it will have any major long-term effect on their career.

To be fair Darius Rucker has a collab with Lady A in his upcoming album so maybe no need to overthink things.

Hoping they announce more performances because this lineup feels phenomenally stale. Let’s see Ingrid Andress, Mickey Guyton, Carly Pearce, Maddie & Tae, and Chris Stapleton. And Kelsea Ballerini.
Curious to see if Carrie Underwood does anything. She could do something from her new holiday album, but that might not fit as well with the show. If she doesn’t, this would be the first time since...2005 that she hasn’t performed on the CMAs, I believe.

Possibly a tribute section, but it’d be better if she could do something from the album. “Joyful, Joyful” isn’t really much of a Christmas song, in a general sense, and could make for a stunning moment... unless she herself wants to sit out, which is entirely possible, I think she performs something... I can’t remember a ceremony in recent years where an EOTY nominee hasn’t at least participated...

Besides Gabby I hope the females that perform would do better than CMTs. Because that was a bad night for female performers IMO.

Unrelated to the CMAs, but according to this the collab was supposed to come out over the summer. Makes me wonder if they were supposed to be on "Beers and Sunshine" originally and they were cut because of the controversy...

Sorry to bring up an old conversation from the previous page but I really wonder if Morgan blew the New Artist award after the incident and subsequent SNL cancelation. He truly had it in the bag but I sense Carly snatching it. If not, it will at least be very close.
Carly has yet to receive a CMA or ACM (although this year I think a CMA is inevitable considering the nominations) and I would love to see her take home New Artist. She is starting to feel like a future dark horse A-Lister more and more.

I was a little surprised Carrie wasn’t in that first batch, but maybe she declined. I’d love to see Carly, even if it’s just performing IHYHN with Lee, but her and a Chris seem like the only possibilities on the list you have there. Which is unfortunate because I agree on the staleness. We’ve had three award shows in three months, give us someone we haven’t seen yet.

Why is Rascal Flatts performing Bless The Broken Road instead of their current single? Very odd to say the least.

I am always annoyed that the country music industry never punishes artists for acting up or when they do problematic shit, whether it be the Lady A controversy, the Morgan Wallen controversy before his SNL appearance, artist performing concerts without social distancing during Covid (Chris Janson, Chase Rice) and probably a bunch more stuff I am forgetting and yet the country music industry blackballed The Chicks for one comment about George Bush. Because bluntly speaking I wouldn't have Lady A perform because that is asking for controversy.

It’s largely the song that put them on the map, so to speak. It was a crossover hit, and launched them into superstardom. It seems fitting and I’m honestly looking forward to it because it’s one of my all time favorite songs!

But in all seriousness we need to do better than slut-shaming women for how they dress. There is absolutely no comparison between Kelsea showing off her legs at an awards show and Morgan Wallen, a brand new dad with a history of questionable behavior (drinking and driving, abandoning his pregnant girlfriend, etc.), sticking his tongue down teenage girls' throats in the middle of a pandemic. Why should we be mad at her? She looked beautiful. Edit: stanches2318 by the way, I interpreted your first comment as a response to raylatch saying that the industry needs to hold artists accountable for their behavior. If you were not trying to equate Kelsea's outfit with Morgan's misdeeds, then I apologize for assuming wrong! :) But if you were, then....my point stands. Lol

Yeah there is a huge difference between Kelsea Ballerini dressing a bit more revealing than Morgan Wallen making out with college aged girls while he is raising a baby during a pandemic, or Riley Green, Chris Janson, and Chase Rice having concerts with no social distancing in the midst of a pandemic that has claimed over 200,000 lives.

Yes Wallen situations are way worse than that and those things should hurt his image. He needs to be reprimanded, but Kelsea should not get praised for acting like that on a country award show. I just call it like it is, even though she is probably my favorite popular singer this year. P.s I thought she looked pretty but as a country fan I was disgusted,

Getting back on topic. I’m excited for this award show. I always liked the CMAs as the best Country award show. I always thought that they should get rid of the ACMs and CMTs, who needs three Country award shows.

Because...I equate women showing their legs on their performances as a powerful display of their confidence rather than a display of lewdness. There is a VERY distinct difference between Kelsea Ballerini dressing a certain way (which, may I say...Carrie Underwood, Faith Hill, and countless other women have shown their legs on award shows so I don't see what's so different all of a sudden when Kelsea does it) and Morgan Wallen going out to clubs and kissing barely legal girls during the middle of a deadly pandemic. I dunno, I definitely wanted to see it 👀 😂 She was trying to be like the Coyote Ugly girls but her outfit and flirty dancing came out to be sl*tty. Like...I really don't like this statement for a number of reasons.

P.s I thought she looked pretty but as a country fan I was disgusted, I mean you literally said she dressed slutty. Which is at best judging her for what she is wearing and at worse is calling her a slut without saying it outright. I also don't see beyond bboat11 saying Kelsea Ballerini looked beautiful, any praise for Kelsea Ballerini for what she was wearing. Like imo there is nothing wrong with a woman showing off her body if she wants too, especially since if a man dressed that revealing people would not have an issue with it.

I'm gonna throw the card out there because we all know it for a fact: we wouldn't be having this conversation if Kelsea's name was Kevin.

If a Man was dancing like that with an outfit that was wrong for a country award show I would call him out to. And I actually on here said what I think she acted like. You both made my point exactly. That you can’t call out a female in country music with out somebody basically saying you’re a sexist. I just speak the truth in what I saw during that performance. I have no problem with any girl showing off there legs, but when that girl dances flirty like she did then I have the problem. Nobody should do that on Country award show. Her Dancing that way in that outfit was the problem not the outfit itself.

The song has a choreography which has to reflect the nature of the song, so how else is the nature of the song supposed to be conveyed? That's really confuses me. Like...if she'd had on nothing but a bra and panties or something really obscene like that, then I'd see your point but I just wholeheartedly disagree with you on this instance. That's all I really wanna say tho so as not to derail the thread any further

But like...why is a female country artist held to a different standard for "slutty" dancing than a female pop artist? It makes literally no sense. Not to mention the fact that Kelsea is arguably one of the more pop-leaning female country artists so you're just splitting hairs and SERIOUSLY WOMEN CAN WEAR WHAT THEY WANT AND IT IS NOT UP TO YOU TO DEEM WHAT IS AND IS NOT OKAY.
