Chris Stapleton nearly swept the CMA Awards with six trophies in four categories Wednesday night, but the Country Music Association reserved its top prize for Luke Combs, who won entertainer of the…
“ Alan Jackson said my name twice just now,” marveled Combs, accepting entertainer of the year as the telecast slipped across the three-hour point. “i have never written a speech for something like this, which is not serving me very well right now…I don’t deserve to win it, but I’m sure as hell glad that I did.” Combs had premiered a brand new song earlier in the night, “Doin’ This.
But it wasn’t just business-as-usual all night for Brothers Osborne and others. Introducing the song “Younger Me,” singer TJ Osborne said it has been his dream growing up to be at the CMAs, but “there were so many hurdles for me. And I always truthfully felt like it would never be possible because of my sexuality. And I just wish, I wish, my younger me could see me now.
The possibility that Wallen could have won was underscored by the huge fan cheers that greeted the mention of his name when album of the year nominees were being announced, sounding much louder in the feed from Bridgestone Arena than those for any other nominee. Susan Sarandon was a co-presenter of the album of the year award, so an opportunity to see the look on the face of one of Hollywood’s most famously progressive figures if she’d had to announce a Wallen triumph was lost.
Combs, still one of the biggest superstars of country music, made a running joke of his relative lack of nominations this year. Introducing Combs’ performance, he joked about how “lately when I’m Googling myself,” Combs would come out on top among Lukes, “and I’m pretty sure alphabetically I come first. … I used to own the Luke real estate, but unlike my personal favorite Luke, this one has three nominations.
