It’s that time again, one of the biggest nights in County music is set to take place in just a little over a week. Yes we’re talking about the 54th Annual Country Music Association Awards, of course.
The ceremony, hosted by CMA Award winners Reba McEntire and Darius Rucker, will once again be returning to Nashville on Wednesday, November 11, 2020.
Although every category is important in its own right, there’s just something about winning Song of the Year. While every artist nominated for a 2020 CMA Award is more than a worthy candidate, only one can be crowned the winner.
