One of the toughest categories for Country Music's Biggest Night has already been settled, with Stephen Wilson Jr. announced as an early winner for the New Artist of the Year at the 59th Annual CMA Awards. But before the call was made, fellow nominee Tucker Wetmore told Katie Neal backstage how impressive this year's category was.

"It's all over the place too," says Tucker of this year's batch of nominees. "It's all Country, but it's different kinds and different aspects of Country, and it's just, it's so amazing to be a part of it. There's so much talent and whoever wins it is more than deserving."
With a big performance set for the show and his song, "3,2,1," now entering the top 10, everything is coming together for the Washington native. "I feel like everything correct is happening," he smiles. "Everything good that could happen is happening, and I'm just sitting back and just enjoying it all."
