I can picture Carly Pearce doing it. They usually seem to want bigger names but something about her demeanour feels to me like she'd do well.

They should beg Carrie and Brad.
If they don’t wanna go down the road of the ACMs (getting dropped), they’ll need big names who draw ratings, Carrie remains one of those names… and I’m not sure there are many others on Carrie’s level. Yes, there are bigger artists than Carrie. Does that translate into ratings? Not like it seems to for Carrie.
I don’t think she’ll do it, and I don’t know how I feel about it… but they could always ask!

I would clearly take Carrie above all! Carrie hosting solo would be iconic. Her and Brad reunited would be amazing! I also would also take her and Reba co-hosting! Kelsea Ballerini and/or Carly Pearce would be okay…but I don’t think the three country award shows like sharing with one another. So with that said that would make me think they are out since Kelsea Co-hosted the CMT Awards this year, and Carly is hosting the ACM Honors this year. But anything is possible. It wouldn’t surprise me if it’s Reba solo or Reba and Darius. I wonder if we’ll get the hosting announcement before or after nominations are announced???

I wonder if this will be a year that we will see a veteran artist slip into Female Vocalist of the Year. While I would love for it to be Reba, I actually wonder if Trisha Yearwood has an outside shot at the category this year. Despite women making inroads at radio and other aspects of the industry this year, I would say that there certainly isn't a leading candidate in the category, outside of maybe Miranda Lambert.
I wonder if the following might be the nominees:
Kelsea Ballerini Miranda Lambert Maren Morris Carly Pearce Trisha Yearwood
With the following as very possible alternates:
Ashley McBryde Carrie Underwood Reba McEntire Gabby Barrett Ingrid Andress

Trisha ain’t getting in over Carrie, Gabby, Ashley, or even Mickey.

Why would anyone even assume Trisha would be nominated?

I can’t imagine Miranda not winning this award this year. Agreed. There were years when she won in a row that it got annoying because there were other people who appeared to have earned it more. This year - it’s no contest. Miranda should have it easily, with Kelsea or Carly as the long shots. But I’d be stunned if it’s not Miranda. She’s definitely earned it. (And probably deserves an entertainer nod as well and I’m not a huge Miranda fan.)

I can see both ML and CU being up for Entertainer again this year.

I half expect the entire EOTY category to be the same as last year, don’t see any names that pose less or more of a threat from last year. Has that ever happened before? Where the category is identical one year to another?

This is a random piece of news. The banner on the CMA Awards website has officially been changed to the 55th CMA Awards logo. So we must be close to some kind of news. Either noms or a hosting announcement should be closer than far away.

I’m hoping for some news on noms soon. I would like it if they were announced Friday the 3rd or Monday the 6th so I could be sure I can watch them live.

This is just a theory. The CMA Summer Jam is on ABC Thursday. Out of all the Female performing they had in my opinion the female vocalist nominees Carly, Carrie, Gabby, and Miranda. Plus the breakthrough Females: Lainey, Guyton. Either they are leaving out Maren or Kelsea. if you add Jimmie Allen, Hardy and Gabby with Lainey and Guyton you might have your New Artist nominees.

Might be on to something here. The 5 New Artist nominees sound spot on...though I think Ingrid has a really fair shot at it. I would have a really hard time with Gabby pushing out Kelsea or Maren (there is a 0% chance Maren is left out. Just no way.)

The voting period was still under way at the time of this special’s filming. I don’t know that anyone who’s featured has much of any bearing on who the nominees will be.

If anyone is going to be left out, it's going to be Kelsea. She is definitely the most vulnerable and in general isn't an awards favorite. Maren on the other hand usually has a strong presence at awards and her label certainly pushes hard for her.

I would like to think Ingrid has a shot, but at this point I have no hope for her. I feel like she's going to end up like Cam and kind of forgotten about which sucks because I personally think she's one of the best female artists to come out of the genre in recent years.

Carrie or Kelsea is not getting nominated. Carrie because she hasn’t really done anything during the eligibility period, and Kelsea because she is on a small label and doesn’t get as many votes as the others.

Carrie because she hasn’t really done anything during the eligibility period, and Kelsea because she is on a small label and doesn’t get as many votes as the others. She had two very successful albums with her Christmas and Gospel projects, so this is a rather odd statement. She didn't have a mainstream Country record with singles at radio, but she actually had a pretty big year.

See I wonder how much CMA voters factor in Carrie's Christmas/Gospel albums and lack of country releases as I feel like it could go either way since I have a gut sus that they tend to focus on the stuff released within the country music exclusive sphere.

Considering the lack of touring across the board, a strong case can be made for Carrie having the biggest year overall, imo. Anxious to see if she makes EOTY, and even Female. I have more hope for the former, simply because the Female category is kinda stacked, finally… and I love it!

I mean I feel like if she makes EOTY she would make Female since a lot of the nominees that make Entertainer tend to make whatever of male/female/duo/group they would be eligible for.

I honestly without having to go and look online couldn’t even tell you what Carrie’s last single was, that’s how long it’s been and obviously not very popular or I would have remembered it. I know Gabby with “The Good Ones” and Kelsea’s “Hole in the bottle”. Carrie will probably get nominated but Gabby & Kelsea have had more success the last year.

Ah, well since your memory failed you, Carrie must’ve had a poor year like you’re insisting, Confucius. Surely if you were to have Googled “Carrie Underwood” in 2020 or 2021, anything and everything you’d find would all be insufficient. Kinda wild that people still think a radio hit is the only metric of success, lol.

Kinda wild that people still think a radio hit is the only metric of success, lol. I never said a radio hit was the only metric of success....Kacey has proved you don’t need radio to become a superstar. Having said that thou yes having hit songs on the radio is still the # 1 way an artist in country music becomes a star. Is Kelsea & Gabby bigger stars than Carrie? No Is Luke Combs a bigger star than George Strait? No George Strait released an album in 2019 and he made more money doing his concerts in the last 2 years then anyone else in country music including Garth. Should George have been nominated in 2020 over Luke Combs? No Kacey was featured on a song last year ....Should she have been nominated this year? No Dolly Parton also released a Christmas album last year....Maybe she deserves to be nominated too. Carrie has not had a bigger year then Gabby or Kelsea who are cranking out hit songs.

I do think commercial success should be the main thing driving this and radio singles do play a role in that, they do. How much of a role, I don't know but let's not also act like getting radio hits on country radio isn't a factor especially for females since there aren't as many women. I will say the fact that Carrie got completely shunned from Female Vocalist for ACMs earlier this year and the only new thing since then is the Gospel album doesn't instill me with the most confidence as I don't know if that will be enough, it could be, but after her not even being nominated for Female last year I am never gonna assume it is 100% certain.
I think for Female 100% locks are Maren Morris, Miranda Lambert, and probably Carly Pearce (she has a lot of critical acclaim and a solid amount of commercial success) so it pretty much comes down to Gabby Barrett, Carrie Underwood, and Kelsea Ballerini get in. Pretty much does Gabby Barrett and Kelsea Ballerini's radio success this year outweighs Carrie Underwood's name recognition and Christmas/Gospel album.
As for other females, I feel like Ingrid Andress gets completely outshined by Carly Pearce as the newer critical favorite, Tenille Arts and Lainey Wilson are a bit too new, and Kacey Musgraves/Ashley McBryde didn't really release much of anything during the eligibility period from what I recall.
