It was Chris Stapleton’s night early at the Country Music Association Awards on Wednesday.
Post Malone performs during the 58th Annual CMA Awards on Wednesday, Nov. 20, 2024, at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tenn. NASHVILLE --
The country traditionalist Stapleton, who has dominated many of the genre’s awards shows in recent years, won both single and song of the year for “White Horse,” scoring something of an upset in both categories over Post Malone and Morgan Wallen’s “I Had Some Help,” which led to Malone getting four nominations and helped Wallen get seven coming into the show.
The ABC telecast, available on Hulu for streaming Thursday, featured performances from artist combos throughout the night, including Brooks & Dunn, representing the 1990s and 2000s, and Jelly Roll, representing country’s current moment. They gave an emotional gospel-style performance of Brooks & Dunn’s 2005 song “Believe.”Brooks & Dunn followed it up by winning vocal duo of the year for the 15th time and the first since 2006.
Shaboozey brought the crowd to its feet with a solo performance that began with a bit of his more sober single “Highway” before launching into one of the year’s defining hits, “A Bar Song .”“Thank you Jesus for putting this dream on my heart,” Moroney, a 27-year-old from Georgia, said with misty eyes as she accepted the award.
Wallen’s nominations include the night’s top prize, entertainer of the year, where his competition consists of Luke Combs, Jelly Roll, Chris Stapleton and last year’s winner . Like Malone, Wilson was up for four awards and is co-hosting the show with Luke Bryan and NFL great Peyton Manning.The CMA Awards are nominated and voted on by members of the Country Music Association, which includes music executives, artists, publicists, songwriters and other industry professionals.
