Country music's biggest night is back!
The 59th annual Country Music Association Awards took over Bridgestone Arena in downtown Nashville, Tennessee, on Wednesday (November 19) for a night of incredible performances, red-hot red carpet fashion and unforgettable moments with many of your favorite artists.
Some early winners of the night included Ella Langley and Riley Green, who took home the award for CMA Music Video of the Year for their duet "you look like you love me," while Post Malone was honored with the award for Musical Event of the Year for "Pour Me A Drink," his collaboration with Blake Shelton. In addition to awards like Entertainer and Vocalist of the Year, the 2025 CMA Awards honored Vince Gill with the CMA Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award for his accomplished career. He's in good company as other recipients include Willie Nelson, Dolly Parton, George Strait, Johnny Cash, Alan Jackson and more.
After hosting the CMA Awards last year alongside Luke Bryan and Peyton Manning, Lainey Wilson returned as host for the night for her solo debut. This makes her the third female artist to host the event solo, behind country legends Dolly Parton and Reba McEntire, the latter of whom shared a surprising bit of hosting advice for Wilson.
Wilson isn't only hosting the festivities but is one of several artists taking the stage for show-stopping performances, including Kelsea Ballerini, Brandi Carlile, Megan Moroney, Kenny Chesney, Luke Combs, Ella Langley, Old Dominion, Shaboozey, Zach Top, Riley Green, Miranda Lambert, Little Big Town, Keith Urban, The Red Clay Strays, Chris Stapleton, BigXthaPlug, Tucker Wetmore and Stephen Wilson Jr.
