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.

Because you're going to see people vote for people they didn't vote for in Entertainer of the Year in the Male Artist of the Year category.

So, my predictions so far are, not my favorites, my predictions, Lainey Wilson, Entertainer of the Year, Ella Langley, Female Artist of the Year, and I'm going to have to do the loser thing and go, it's going to be Riley or Cody in the Male Artist of the Year.

Now, how does Luke Combs not win?

Because they'll be

Enough people that think Luke Combs is going to win Entertainer of the Year that they won't vote for for Male Artist of the Year.

It's bizarre.

I'm telling you.

But the people... Luke Combs is going to get a lot of votes for Entertainer of the Year.

No doubt about it.

But the people that vote for him there are not going to vote for a Male Artist of the Year because they're like, we already voted for him there.
