Who's Nominated for the 60th CMA Awards? Full List, Date and Where to Watch

The Country Music Association has announced the nominees for the 60th Annual CMA Awards, with Ella Langley leading the pack at nine nominations across seven categories - including a nod for Entertainer of the Year.

Miranda Lambert follows with seven nominations, while Kacey Musgraves and producer Ben West each earned five. Cody Johnson, Chris Stapleton, and Stephen Wilson Jr. picked up four apiece.

Also making headlines: Taylor Swift returns to the CMA nominee list for the first time since 2017, earning a Single of the Year nod for "I Knew It, I Knew You" from the "Toy Story 5" soundtrack.

The ceremony airs live from Nashville's Bridgestone Arena on Wednesday, November 18, at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and Disney+, with next-day streaming on Hulu. Reigning Entertainer of the Year Lainey Wilson will host.

Country music has long carried gospel roots at its core - many of these nominees, including Wilson and Lambert, have spoken openly over the years about the church and faith traditions that shaped their sound long before the charts did.
