This year's CMA Awards will take place in Nashville on November 5 and ahead of the big bash, Darius Rucker and Little Big Town first announced just a handful of nominees, earlier today, before they then revealed the full list later on. Exciting stuff!
The show revealed the nominees in five particular categories for the East Coast viewers, this morning, with the CMAs then revealing the full list of nominees at 10am ET in a live press conference and Miranda Lambert is easily leading the way, with a whopping NINE nominations.
Blake Shelton and Luke Bryan will be going head to head for the Entertainer Of The Year award, whilst Lambert and Taylor Swift are up against one another for the Female Vocalist Of The Year - to name just a few of the lucky nominees this year. Looks like Taylor is holding on to that country crown, despite her recent pop comeback.
