The 55th Annual CMA Awards were held last night in Nashville at the Bridgestone Arena. This was the first time that fans and everyone was able to gather back together to celebrate country music. What a night it was!
Luke Bryan hosted the show. Which he did a great job, he of course even made a little jab at Aaron Rodgers. While I think Luke did a great job, I honestly like many still miss Brad and Carrie hosting together. Those two really had something special together. The BIG winner of the night of course was Chris Stapleton taking home awards for Single, Song, Album and Male Vocalist of the Year.
Carly Pearce won Female Artist of the year, Jimmie Allen took home New Artist of the Year.
Luke Combs won Entertainer of the Year. He was pretty well shocked and even said that he never writes speeches because he doesn’t think he will win.
