Country music's biggest night has arrived, and the genre's brightest stars are ready to celebrate. The 59th annual Country Music Association Awards kicked off on Wednesday, November 19, at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. Lainey Wilson, who is nominated for Entertainer of the Year, pulled double duty as a host and performer. Wilson, 33, previously cohosted the ceremony with Luke Bryan and Peyton Manning in 2024 but is taking on the gig solo for the first time this year. "Oh Lord, it's gonna be fun. It's gonna be a very busy night," she exclusively told Us Weekly ahead of the event. "But I told 'em, I said, 'If I can just get up there and y'all let me run my mouth and celebrate country music and celebrate all of my friends in this industry, then I think I'll do OK.'" 2025 CMA Awards Red Carpet Fashion: Kelsea Ballerini, Lainey Wilson This year, Wilson is up for six awards, including Entertainer of the Year and Female Vocalist of the Year.
