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. The tea gets much, much hotter apparently!!! 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 SpeculationWell... afterall, Georgia went blue while Florida made the wrong decision to stay red...

I think it’s fair to acknowledge Maren would have been absolutely deserving, and I’d make a case that she was a bit more so than Miranda. Miranda didn’t really gain any major traction until earlier this year with her new album, whereas Maren had a stellar 2019-2020, and had one of the biggest singles in the country, “The Bones”, which is currently still a major hit.
They’re both deserving, but given the fact that both Carrie and Miranda have been in the mix for more than ten years, I’m glad Miranda managed a nomination - Maren has time, Carrie and Miranda statistically do not (in terms of this award). I’m not saying it’s now or never for Miranda or Carrie, but they’ve been waiting for a long time and at least one of them should have won this by now...

ETOY is always subjective. Miranda had the bigger tour, but Maren had the bigger song. Bones was bigger then Bluebird. ETOY is such a commercial award though, it's hard for me to see giving it to someone who isn't commercially having a big year. Carrie had a bigger tour, same with Eric, Luke obviously, and well a lot of other men. I would love to see Carrie win it.

Brian Kelley is now blocking fans on Twitter. Add Instagram as well.

Well the article I shared had screenshots of both Tyler and his wife's instagrams with no Kelleys in their "Following" list. But somebody mentioned to me that it looks like the boys have re-followed each other now, so they're probably working on patching things up I guess.

That’s a mighty tough rift to bridge, if the speculation is true. Trumpism has expanded far beyond “political disagreement.” To do something as big as remove each other on a public social media platform, to which the whole world has access, is an alarming thing. Even a re-follow holds minimal weight in the grand scheme of things, should all of this be the case.
All in all, just very wild to see. From the looks of it, it indeed seems like the two are on polar opposite sides of an extremely, extremely volatile spectrum.

I can’t wait for these awards because I’m a fan of this music and it gives us a 3 hour break from the political debacle that going on. I wonder who’s gonna have the best performance and the worst 2maro?

First two awards are going to be unveiled this morning on GMA this morning. With Thomas involved, got to think he's winning Musical Event.

Very happy to see that Miranda has won Video of the Year and Carly/Lee have won Best Musical Event! I was quite honestly thinking Carly might not have had it in the bag, only because the category was a bit stacked, so I'm very pleasantly surprised. Congrats on Carly's first CMA!!!!! Will there be any sort of audience? Or are they going to do this like the ACMs? The Country Music Association would effectively be raking themselves over the coals, and risking MAJOR trouble, if there's any sort of audience whatsoever. There have already been at least two artists that have had to drop out of performing because they've contracted COVID-19; we then have to contact trace and take into account the people that have been near the artists who are sick (in Lee's case, he may or may not have been near Carly. I'm sure she'd have dropped out too had there been an issue there...but still). Allowing any audience and risking those people's exposure to an extremely contagious and deadly virus would be the most terrible look the CMA has ever given itself. Frankly, I'm not sure they'd ever recover from something like that. I have to imagine the ACMs set a precedent for what we're gonna see tonight.

The CMA has a restriction that in part prohibits screenshots....of audience members. AUDIENCE MEMBERS. Yeah, unless those audience members are solely there to cover the event for articles and such (aka country industry journalists).......I can't watch tonight.

"Bluebird" and "I Hope You're Happy Now" were the best choices for Music Video and Musical Event, respectively, so we're off to a fine start CMAs!
Love that Kelsea's picking up the screentime that FGL vacated. "Hole in the Bottle" deserves all the attention it can get. What a smash.

Lady A are the next artist to miss tonight’s awards due to Covid. They just posted that one of their immediate family members has tested positive, so the three of them will be staying home. Hillary won’t be a part of Thomas Rhett’s performance, but Charles Kelly already taped his performance with Carly Pearce, so their duet will still air.

Jenee Fleenor is also out of the CMA's due to covid, not sure what's going to happen with the Charlie Daniels tribute. I would be avoiding this event like the plague at this point

Just insane that anyone thought having an awards show with all of the artists + a live audience, in the middle of the third and worst spike in this country, was a good idea.

The CMAs have had how many opportunities to take notes after seeing other award shows? The CMT Music Awards, the MTV VMAs. The Billboard Music Awards, the ACMs. Their lack of thoughtfulness is inexcusable and unacceptable. And the live audience.......while it's flu season during the worst pandemic in a century. I'm speechless.

I'm not watching but Dierks' fiddle player Dan Hochhalter subbed in for Jenee Fleenor. He's my favorite. <3
