But I don't think he will because of that.

This year, and like other years, I think Lainey Wilson wins it again.

Not that she's not deserving.

But when all of the elements are in play on who's voting from where and what artists don't care, there will be some people that won't vote for Jelly Roll because there's still a little bit of that crowd of, he ain't country.

So all these factors are in play here.

Really cool to see Megan Maroney be on the list.

I'm a Megan Maroney fan big time.

I think she is, in my opinion, the best new artist songwriter ever.

out there now.

Now, I don't think she should win Entertainer of the Year, but it's pretty exciting to see her on this list.

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.
