Lainey Wilson leads the pack with her CMA Awards 2023 nominations.
Nominations for the 57th annual Country Music Association Awards were announced on Thursday (September 7), with the 31-year-old performer earning nine nominations in total.
One of those nominations is artist of the year, which is notable since Lainey is only on her second album with a major label and has largely been an opener for major projects.
Other nominees include Jelly Roll, Luke Combs and Hardy.
Read on to see the full list of nominations…
