CMA Awards 2024: See who won

CNN
—

The 58th annual CMA Awards took place Wednesday night from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena.

Luke Bryan and former NFL star Peyton Manning returned to host the ceremony, with last year’s Entertainer of the Year winner – country music superstar Lainey Wilson – joining as co-host.

Morgan Wallen earned the most nominations with seven, followed by Cody Johnson and Chris Stapleton with five. Post Malone and Wilson each got four nods.

Despite apparently being plagued by sound quality issues, the show included several stellar performances, including a show opener from Malone and Chris Stapleton and a tribute to this year’s lifetime achievement recipient George Strait.

Megan Moroney, Kacey Musgraves, Luke Combs, Kelsea Ballerini and Noah Kahan, among many others, also took the stage to perform.

The CMA Awards aired live on ABC and will be available to stream on Hulu on Thursday.
