CMA Music Awards: Broadcasters Honored

The 58th Annual CMA Awards took place on Wednesday night from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena.

Luke Bryan and former NFL star Peyton Manning returned to host the ceremony, with last year’s entertainer of the year award winner – country music superstar Lainey Wilson – joining as cohost.

Morgan Wallen earned the most nominations with seven, followed by Cody Johnson and Chris Stapleton with five. Post Malone and Wilson earned four nods each.

Despite being seemingly plagued by sound quality issues, the show included several starry performances, including a show-opener from Malone and Chris Stapleton and a tribute to this year’s lifetime achievement award recipient George Strait.
