In a year like no other, the CMA Awards brought the country music community together, live, for the first time in months to celebrate the very best in the genre. In a night filled with riveting performances, heartfelt speeches, and emotional tributes, Country Music’s Biggest Night proved, once again, that even in the toughest of times, the heart of country remains true. Eric Church, who performed his “Hell of a View” for the show, was awarded the night’s top honor of CMA Entertainer of the Year, a first for the artist. Maren Morris performed “The Bones” and was the night’s biggest winner, taking home three awards. Other winners included Luke Combs, Old Dominion, Dan + Shay, Morgan Wallen, Lee Brice, Carly Pearce, Miranda Lambert, Jenee Fleenor, and more.
