The singer-songwriter leads the pack with five nominations followed by Little Big Town and Keith Urban who have both picked up four nominations. Lambert’s nominations include Single and Song of the Year and Record of the Year for The Weight of These Wings.
āThe talent of the past year for Country has been exceptional,ā said Sarah Trahern, CMA Chief Executive Officer. Itās great to see nominee names that have graced the list before, and continue to deliver quality artistry. Itās equally thrilling to see six new names ā ushering in a new generation earning their first CMA Awards nods.ā
