12 Nov The Country Music Awards 2020 Recap!
The 2020 Country Music Awards aired yesterday, and it did not disappoint! The event was hosted by Reba McEntire and Darius Rucker. The pair opened the show making jokes about social distancing, and were glad to be able to have an in-person awards show. Reba stated, “In 2020 it’s great to be anywhere. Too much in this world has been pulling us apart, sometimes more than 6 feet.”
Darius Rucker joked that Morgan Wallen was quarantined in his dressing room for two weeks. Wallen failed to quarantine when he was supposed to host SNL earlier this year.
Take a look at the winners and some of the best performances of the night!
The Country Music Award Winners
Miranda Lambert and director Trey Fanjoy won music video of the year for the song, “Bluebird.” The musical event of the year went to “I Hope You’re Happy Now” by Carly Pearce and Lee Brice and producer, busbee. The big win for entertainer of the year was awarded to Eric Church.
Morgan Wallen won New Artists of The Year. This was very well deserved for the new artist. His song “7 Summers” makes me cry every time. This was his first ever CMA award, and he also performed “More Than My Hometown.”
Maren Morris received three wins! The singer won female artist of the year, single of the year, and song of the year for her hit song, “The Bones.” Luke Combs won male vocalist of the year. The vocal group of the year went to Old Dominion, who had an amazing year and released 10 great songs back to back this year.
