Rounding out the entertainer of the year categories are Luke Combs, Jelly Roll, Chris Stapleton and Lainey Wilson.

Ahead of the nominations announcement, some fans speculated that Beyoncé, whose landmark country-and-then-some reclamation "Cowboy Carter" was released during the eligibility window, could receive a nomination at the 2024 CMAs. She did not.

Earlier this year, the album hit No. 1 on the Billboard country albums chart, making her the first Black woman to top the chart since its 1964 inception.

Who's hosting the 2024 CMA Awards

A year after the "Heart Like a Truck" singer won Entertainer of the Year at the CMA Awards, Lainey Wilson will make her hosting debut on the show this year, joining the familiar team of Luke Bryan and Peyton Manning as a third co-host.

"I am pumped!" Wilson told On The Red Carpet. "I mean even as a little girl, like watching the CMAs, it was like a big family function for us. I mean we looked forward to it... We would watch rodeo or we would watch the Country Music Awards!"
