Meanwhile, Miranda Lambert has double reason to celebrate as not only did she also secure three nominations, Album of the Year (Palomino), Entertainer of the Year, Female Vocalist of the Year, but she is also the most nominated female artist in CMA Awards History with 61 nominations.

Yellowstone newcomer and country music singer Lainey Wilson had the biggest reason to smile because she topped the list with six nominations as a first-time nominee.
