(sung to the tune of ‘Somewhere Over Laredo’) “She’ll host the CMAs Solo” –
That’s right, Lainey Wilson, after sharing the host duties last year at the CMA Awards, will fly solo this year. What makes this interesting is that she is also heavily nominated too. It is a rare occurrence for an artist who is nominated for the most trophies on a televised awards show to also be the host of that show. Going into this year’s CMAs, Wilson is tied with Ella Langley and Megan Moroney for the most noms, with six each.
Either way, I have no doubt she’ll crush it.
