There are only a few hours left until the 56th Annual Country Music Association Awards, but some of the winners have already been revealed.
The last round of voting, which took place in early October among members of the Country Music Association who were eligible to vote for awards, chose the winners of this year’s major awards presentation.
The star-studded event, which will also feature a variety of performances, is being hosted by Luke Bryan, who has won the CMA Entertainer of the Year award twice himself, and Peyton Manning, who is a star quarterback for the NFL.
The most important night in country music will be televised live from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on Wednesday, November 9 at 8:00 p.m. Eastern Time (ET) on ABC.
