Jelly Roll opened the 57th Annual CMA Awards with his hit “Need A Favor”. Wynonna Judd joined him for his opening number and blew the roof off the house.
Kenny Chesney, Mac McAnally, Zac Brown, and Alan Jackson joined together on the CMA stage to pay tribute to the late Jimmy Buffett. As the crowd sang along to hits including “Margaritaville”, it was clear that Jimmy Buffett made an incredible impact in the music industry.
With a record nine CMA nominations, Lainey Wilson rocked the CMA stage with “Wildflowers and Wild Horses”, a song off her latest studio album, “Bell Bottom Country”.
By the end of the night, she went home with five CMA Awards, including Entertainer of the Year.
Morgan Wallen was joined alongside Eric Church to perform their song, “Man Made A Bar” from Wallen’s latest record, “One Thing At A Time”.
Luke Bryan took to the stage for the second performance of the evening performing a medley of his hits including, “Huntin’, Fishin’, and Lovin’ Every Day”, “Play It Again”, and “Country Girl Shake It for Me”. Bryan is co-hosting this year’s ceremony with Tennessee Vols alumni, Peyton Manning.
