The biggest night in country music is approaching.
As the 2026 CMA Awards are set to air on Nov. 18, the Country Music Association announced its list of nominees on Sept. 10.
This year’s leader is Ella Langley, who has received nine nominations, just one short of Alan Jackson’s record of ten in 2002. The 27-year-old has been nominated in categories including Entertainer and Female Vocalist of the Year, while her album Dandelion is competing for the best album of the year.
In the race for Entertainer of the Year, Langley will compete against Luke Combs, Cody Johnson, Lainey Wilson, and Chris Stapleton.
Following her near-record nominations, the “Choosin’ Texas” singer shared her excitement on social media, posting on Instagram, “What an honor @cma.”
Miranda Lambert follows with the second-highest number of nominations at seven. She will compete alongside Langley, Wilson, Megan Moroney, and Kacey Musgraves for Female Vocalist of the Year.
