The rise of Lainey Wilson from camper trailer-dwelling, small-town Louisiana native to Nashville-based, nine-time Country Music Association award-nominated artist is complete.
That was one of many takeaways as the nominees for the 57th annual CMA Awards were revealed Thursday morning.
Wilson tops the list with nine nominations, while first-time nominee Jelly Roll has five nominations.
Luke Combs and HARDY each scored four nominations, while Jordan Davis, Ashley McBryde, producer/mix engineer Joey Moi, songwriter/producer Jordan Schmidt, Chris Stapleton, Morgan Wallen and musician/producer Derek Wells have three nominations apiece.
The night's pinnacle prize, entertainer of the year, will see Combs, Stapleton, Wallen and Wilson in competition against Carrie Underwood.
Wilson, the CMA's reigning female vocalist and new artist of the year, has become the only artist to top the nominations list in her first two appearances on the ballot. Those nine nominations tie her with Merle Haggard and Miranda Lambert behind Alan Jackson's 10 nominations in 2002 on the all-time list.
Wilson's nominations showcase the success of her 2022 album "Bell Bottom Country," plus the 31-year-old artist's three top-10-selling singles in the past year. In addition to entertainer of the year, she is nominated for single (for HARDY duet "wait in the truck" and her own "Heart Like a Truck"), album, song, female vocalist, musical event (for "wait in the truck" and Jelly Roll collaboration "Save Me") and music video.
Back-to-back reigning entertainer of the year Combs is now a four-time entertainer of the year nominee in a year when worldwide touring coupled with his unlikely crossover chart-topping success with a cover of Tracy Chapman's 1989 classic "Fast Car." Overall, Combs has received 22 nominations since 2017.
Nashville native Jelly Roll, who merges country, pop, rap and rock, walked the red carpet as a first-time invitee in 2022. Now he's joined the likes of Garth Brooks, Johnny Cash, Maren Morris, Willie Nelson and Gretchen Wilson as a five-time nominee in his first year of consideration. Jelly Roll is up for single, male vocalist, musical event, music video and new artist.
Artists including Zach Bryan, Megan Moroney, The War And Treaty and Hailey Whitters nabbed their first CMA Award nominations.
When are the CMA Awards?
The awards ceremony, hosted by Luke Bryan and Peyton Manning, will be broadcast live from Bridgestone Arena on Nov. 8 (8 EDT on ABC).
