Leading the nominations is Ella Langley, who has garnered eight nods, including Female Artist of the Year, New Female Artist of the Year, and Song of the Year for her duet “You Look Like You Love Me” with Riley Green.
Close behind are Cody Johnson, Morgan Wallen, and Lainey Wilson, each receiving seven nominations. Chris Stapleton follows with six, while Riley Green and Post Malone have five each.
The Entertainer of the Year category features a competitive lineup: Kelsea Ballerini, Luke Combs, Cody Johnson, Jelly Roll, Chris Stapleton, Morgan Wallen, and Lainey Wilson.
