2 Solo Women Up for CMA’S Entertainer of the Year: First time since 1979

Well, it’s about damn time! It’s the first time since 1979 that two solo female acts are up for CMA’s Entertainer of the Year Award!

The Boot reports, “Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lambert will be vying for the CMA’s highest honor alongside Eric Church, Keith Urban and Luke Combs in 2020. Both Underwood and Lambert have been nominated for Entertainer of the Year before, but never at the same time, and neither of them has ever won in the category. “

In 1979 Crystal Gayle and Barbara Mandrell were both nominated for Entertainer of the Year, but Willie Nelson took home the award.

It would be cool to see Carrie or Miranda win. We don’t have to wait much longer! The CMA Awards air on Tuesday, November 11th hosted by Reba McEntire and Darius Rucker! Click here for a list of performers, nominees, and more!
