The 58th annual Country Music Association Awards took place on Wednesday, November 20, at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena co-hosted by Luke Bryan, Peyton Manning, and Lainey Wilson.
The Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award was handed over to George Strait who was honored with a tribute performance.
Morgan Wallen led the nominations this year with seven but only took home one, the coveted Entertainer Of The Year! His first CMA!
In a hilarious moment, actor Jeff Bridges announced the winner and mispronounced Morgan’s name, calling him “Morgan Waylon.” He was not present to accept his award.
