JUST IN: CMA Awards Nominees Revealed

Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lambert Both Land on EOTY List

First thing on Tuesday morning (Sept. 1), Luke Combs and Carly Pearce were up early to announce some of the nominees for the upcoming CMA Awards. The two country stars revealed the nominations live from Nashville's Grand Ole Opry during Good Morning America.

Most notable from the announcment is that for the first time in 20 years, two women -- Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lambert -- are in the entertainer of the year category. The last time that happened was in 2000, when Faith Hill was on the list with all-female trio The Chicks (formerly the Dixie Chicks) who won that year. And if you go all the way back to 1979, that's the last time two female solo artist have landed on the list: Crystal Gayle and Barbara Mandrell.

Here’s a list of this year's nominees in all musical categories.

Right after the major category announcements, country newcomers (and new artist nominees) Ingrid Andress and Gabby Barrett shared the remaining CMA Awards nominations via a live stream.

The CMA Awards will be broadcast live on Nov. 11, and the two co-hosts will be announced later this month.

Garth Brooks is currently the CMA's reigning entertainer of the year, but this year he has made the unprecedented move to taken his name off the list in order to give another artist a chance to take that coveted trophy home.
