CMA Awards 2024: The Complete List of Winners (Updating)

The 58th annual CMA Awards show is being telecast live by ABC from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena. Scroll down to see the 2024 winners as they are named over the course of the three-hour show.

Chris Stapleton won the first award of the night, single of the year, for “White Horse.” “So many great and very, very popular songs in this category,” Stapleton said, alluding to a triumph over singles as huge as Shaboozey’s “A Bar Song (Tipsy).” But Shaboozey is far from finished for the night, with a shot at winning the best new artist prize.

Post Malone, who has become the darling of Nashville this year with his first country album, “F-1 Trillion,” opened the show with a duet with perennial CMAs favorite Chris Stapleton, performing a song from that album, “California Sober.”

Morgan Wallen came into the night the leading nominee, with seven nods. He had some help with that — most notably in the form of his featured duet appearance on Post Malone’s smash “I Had Some Help,” which was nominated in four categories. Wallen’s seven nominations for the CMAs are followed by five each for Cody Johnson and Chris Stapleton. Post Malone and Lainey Wilson have four nominations each.

In contention for entertainer of the year, which is considered the top category, four of five nominees are repeats from last year, including Wilson (who took the prize home last time), Combs, Stapleton and Wallen. The newcomer in the category is Jelly Roll. Entertainer of the year feels like it may be more up for grabs than usual this year, with a strong case to be made that any of the five candidates is a serious contender to win.

The ABC show began airing at 8 p.m. ET, with west coast viewing delayed until prime time at 8 p.m. PT. Streaming is available on Hulu beginning Thursday.
