So I'm going to go with Lainey Wilson.

I predict she will win Entertainer of the Year.

Next up, Female Artist of the Year.

What's really interesting about Female and Male Artist of the Years is, well, there's got to be a female or male that wins Entertainer of the Year.

For the most part...

Whenever you're voting, myself included, when I vote for Entertainer of the Year, and let's just say I vote for Captain Crunch.

Captain Crunch is a dude.

So I'm not going to vote for Captain Crunch in the Male Artist of the Year either, because Male Artist of the Year or Female Artist of the Year is usually like a JV to the Entertainer of the Year.

So if...

let's say Lainey wins female artist of the year, my money is on that she doesn't win female artist of the year, entertainer of the year.

If Lainey wins entertainer of the year, my money's on she doesn't win female artist of the year because everybody voting for her is going to vote for somebody else for the female artist of the year award.

And same thing with the males.

So female artist of the year probably goes to, the nominees are Kelsey Ballerini, Miranda Lambert, Ella Langley, Megan Maroney, and Lainey Wilson.

I think Ella Langley wins female artist of the year this year.

Male artist of the year, Luke Combs, Riley Green, Cody Johnson, Chris Stapleton, and Zach Topp.

It's also weird they have male and female artist of the year still.

That's also just a weird thing.

I think the CMAs have male vocalist and female vocalist.

But male artist of the year, based on voting results,

I'm going to think Cody Johnson or Riley Green wins this one.
