2019 CMA Awards Nominees: Host Carrie Underwood Scores 3 Nominations While Maren Morris Snags 6!
The 2019 CMA Awards nominees are finally here — and they certainly didn’t disappoint! From icons to up-and-coming artists, there’s plenty of celebrating to be had when looking at the full list of nominations.
It’s already shaping up to be a memorable night with Carrie Underwood — who is nominated for three awards this year — set to host alongside country music legends Reba McEntire and Dolly Parton. For the first time in more than a decade, the “Jesus Take the Wheel” songstress will be without Brad Paisley.
While some iconic artists — like Garth Brooks, Keith Urban, Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton — were able to snag a few nominations each, rising star Maren Morris is sitting pretty as a six-time nominee.
