Ugh, that's terrible. Hopefully Lee Brice makes a speedy recovery. Same. I hope Lee gets better soon. I hope Carly gets to still preform. She is literally beyond pumped on social - maybe she sings IHYHN with Luke Combs since he wrote it? That would definitely be a good idea. Carly either needs a new duet partner or a different song to perform (maybe Next Girl), since I Hope You're Happy Now really doesn't work as a solo performance. No matter what, I really hope the CMAs still find a way for her to perform, as she really deserves it.

So wait if Lee Brice can't be there, what the hell is Carly Pearce gonna perform? Hopefully "Next Girl" but man I feel bad that he won't be there and I feel especially bad for Carly Pearce. Still hoping Carly Pearce has a big night for the award show. Didn’t Combs write that song with Carly? Can’t Combs sing with her?

I would assume the way the show is blocked, they would need her or someone to perform to fill that spot. I would say the easiest thing would just be to have her perform Next Girl, but we shall see. I would be STUNNED if they take the performance away from her completely.

Nevertheless, while I doubt I'll be watching at all night-of, some fun lil' predictions... Entertainer: Luke Combs Male: Luke Combs Female: Maren Morris Album: What You See is What You Get, Luke Combs Vocal Group: Old Dominion Vocal Duo: Dan + Shay Song: "Even Though I'm Leaving," Luke Combs Single: "Beer Never Broke My Heart," Luke Combs New Artist: Morgan Wallen Video: "Second One To Know," Chris Stapleton Musical Event: "Fooled Around and Fell in Love," Miranda Lambert & Co. I think this will be a massively Luke Combs-heavy night (and extremely male-centric), even though the material-based awards should be split between Maren Morris and Miranda Lambert. He's being treated like the second coming of Garth Brooks, and since Garth took himself out of the CMA conversation this year, why wouldn't the voting body flock to their idea of the next best thing? It'd be so awesome if Maddie & Tae could win duo of the year considering the great year they've had, but I know in my heart there's almost no way Dan + Shay doesn't win

She is literally beyond pumped on social - maybe she sings IHYHN with Luke Combs since he wrote it?I was thinking this too. I've always wanted to hear the two of them do this one together. Either this one or "Next Girl," but I just want to see her on that stage--even if I probably won't be watching night-of. It would 100% NOT be a good look or go over well if they took the slot away from her altogether. The CMAs look bad enough right now as it is.

Talk about being deserving as hell.

Interesting to hear his take. Presenters: Lauren Akins, Charles Esten, Sara Evans!!!! ( .indulgecountry), Taylor Hill, Jake Owen, Patrick Schwarzenegger, CeCe Winans.

Apparently FGL's Tyler Hubbard has tested positive for COVID as well, unfortunately. Hopefully he gets better soon too.

The irony of one of the FGL fellas testing positive after Brian Kelley complained about Biden's election win on Instagram is...not lost on me, lol.

If you follow basically any country singer on insta they've all been carrying on and acting like the virus doesn't exist. You want to get back closer to normal? Wear a mask, and model it for your followers. It's exhausting that they complain about all the stuff they want to do, and yet don't do the one simple thing that would best help us get there.

Chris Stapleton is performing. If you follow basically any country singer on insta they've all been carrying on and acting like the virus doesn't exist. You want to get back closer to normal? Wear a mask, and model it for your followers. It's exhausting that they complain about all the stuff they want to do, and yet don't do the one simple thing that would best help us get there. Yep. And even more ironically...it's pretty much always the men. Huh.

It’s never good when somebody tests positive. I guess the Brian can sing by himself at the Awards?

I understand why they chose Charles Kelley to sing with Carly but Luke Combs does a great job singing “I Hope You’re Happy Now”. He’s sang it acoustically on Facebook live not long after it went #1. Since he wrote it he’d have been the better option. Charles has a good voice but I prefer Luke’s voice. Also I hope you all are ready for Luke Combs night tomorrow night. I have a feeling it’s going to be a big night for him!

I really hope it isn't Luke Combs dominated night tomorrow night, mainly because I am so burned out on Luke Combs music being everywhere, seriously it is kind of getting to be a bit much at this point.

I feel like I said this months ago in the radio spins thread and got yelled at for being a Luke C hater (so yes I agree)

I think Luke is uber talented and love most of his music, but I’m tired of hearing him and hearing about him. I can’t remember the last time I was quick to change the station when a song I liked came on, but I’m at the point where I do that with virtually all of his music now.

Tomorrow will be all about Luke Combs, rest assured. I have virtually zero doubt about it. He’ll at the very least take all the major awards he’s up for—Entertainer, Male, and Album.

Okay, these are my final predictions. Adjusted some from my original predictions based on known attendance. I agree with 14887. I think this is going to be a Luke Combs night. I have him walking away with four: Entertainer, Male, Album and Song for IHYHN.
Entertainer - Luke Combs Male - Luke Combs Female - Maren Morris Group - Old Dominion Duo - Dan & Shay New - Carly Pearce Single - Bluebird Song - I Hope You're Happy Now Album - Luke Combs Event - I Hope You’re Happy Now Video - Homemade

My hope is that it is a very heavy Carly Pearce and Luke Combs night.
I am praying that Carly Peare wins New Artist over Morgan Wallen

I get a bit of a vibe that we’ll all be kinda surprised (myself pleasantly) if Carrie wins EOTY after all... but Luke should and likely will win.
I also think Carrie and Miranda nominated together unfortunately hurts both their chances. It can be looked at multiple ways, but I take it as a sign that neither will win...

Why’d they put Miranda Lambert in there at all? she is good but not an Entertainer in my opinion.

So Brian Kelley did a bunch of immature shitposting about the election celebrations, as you pointed out. He's all like "I KNEW the virus would magically disappear after the election. We need to start booking shows immediately!!" Meanwhile, at the same time, Tyler Hubbard (who has been critical of Trump and the direction our country was going the last four years) has just caught the 'rona and is quarantining in a tour bus in his driveway. Now Tyler and his wife have unfollowed Brian and his wife on social media Meanwhile, Brian's wife has started posting a bunch of vague memes in her stories along the lines of "Imagine ruining your friendships over political opinions. That's just not how I was raised!" Sooooooo the internet is naturally speculating that an FGL breakup is imminent! FGL Breakup Speculation

Amazingly & thankfully, your opinion doesn’t determine the nominees. In her spot I would’ve had Maren Morris who had a better year. Maren Morris has a single out right now that up until this point had failed to do close to anything at radio while Miranda Lambert scored a #1 single and currently has a song that is already in the Top 40 on Mediabase after having only been out for a month and a half. Miranda also went on a successful tour before this virus changed the world. Miranda had the better year.

Tyler on the other hand...just gained a whole ton more of my respect. Hope he survives this virus. Meanwhile I'm gonna enjoy this tea! PS. like 14887 pointed out, the irony of Brian (who's the Florida half) being a Trump supporter and Tyler (who's the Georgia half) being a Biden supporter/voter while Florida stayed red and Georgia flipped blue in this election is...not lost on me, lmfao.
