CMA Awards | Entertainment News, Photos, and Videos

Unlike all of the other award shows that have been happening during the pandemic in 2020, the 2020 CMA Awards will take place with an audience.

The event is airing live tonight (November 11) from Nashville and the CEO of the Country Music Association, Sarah Trahern, is opening up about what fans can expect.

“Although the show will feel a bit more intimate this year, we look forward to hosting our nominated artists and their guests as we celebrate the best of country music in a fully safe and physically distant environment. It will be an honor to bring the biggest country stars in the world together – in one room – for the first time this year. You won’t want to miss it!” she said.

It seems the audience will be sitting in a socially distanced arrangement and likely will just consist of the nominees and their guests.

“Look who I already found! Oh my god! Princess, you finding a husband tonight, girl. She’s ready to get married. There’s some good options tonight,” E! News’ Carissa Culiner said to Hannah after running into her on Instagram.

“I do like country music…and a real musician,” Hannah said.

The reference was immediately interpreted by fans as a dig at former contestant Jed Wyatt, who is a singer based in Nashville.

After Jed temporarily won Hannah‘s heart on The Bachelorette, Hannah famously announced on the show’s finale they were no longer together amid reports he was already in a relationship before going on the dating show.

“Thank you to my peers in this room, who I respect so much, for voting for me for this,” she said during her speech before getting choked up.

“I would be really remiss if I didn’t mention a huge facet of why this album sounds the way it does, and we miss him so dearly. He texted me the morning that we got the nomination for Album of the Year this year, and we were so excited. His wife, Jess, is here tonight, and she looks so beautiful. Thank you for sharing your husband with us once a month,” she said while referring to Busbee.

“My heart just goes out to you and your beautiful daughters. I hope that when they listen to this record — or any songs that he made, which made us all better — they know how amazing their father was.”

The producer and renowned writer died in September after a battle with brain cancer at the age of 43.
