Excitement Builds as Nominations for the 60th Annual CMA Awards Are Unveiled
Country music enthusiasts can tune in to watch the unveiling of the nominations for the 60th annual CMA Awards on Good Morning America. Lara Spencer will announce key category nominees from New York, followed by a livestream hosted by Lee Ann Womack and Hannah Harper on the CMA YouTube channel. Womack, a 17-time nominee and six-time winner, will help reveal the full list of nominees. The 2026 CMA Awards will be held on Nov. 18 at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, with Lainey Wilson returning as the host for the third time. Wilson, the current entertainer of the year, will face tough competition from her fellow nominees. Ella Langley's chart-topping song "Choosin’ Texas" is expected to be a strong contender for nominations.
