Backstage at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, CMA Awards winners, performers and presenters came back to meet the press after their appearances, including Kacey Musgraves, Maren Morris, Garth B…
was named entertainer of the year for the seventh time, and during his acceptance speech, he practically launched into his own mini-review of the telecast, offering praise to three performers who he felt also defined “entertainer” in that moment. In the media room after the show, he repeated that critical analysis.
Combs, a first-time winner for male vocalist of the year, responded to Brooks’ predictions that he’s due for the top prize — repeatedly — someday: “I grew up listening to Garth. I know every song by heart, and for him to say something like that is pretty unreal. And the pressure’s on, for sure.” Of his seeming position as a overnight superstar in country, Combs said, “I think shock is kinda where I’m at right now.
Shelton was asked about his occasional comments that he needs to scale back as a performer. “When I say things like winding it down,” he said, “it always has to do with… balancing two seasons of ‘The Voice’ a year versus touring. So I start thinking, what can I trade and get a little bit of my life back? So touring is always it. I don’t necessarily love being in the studio, but I get excited about making new records. I don’t know if that makes sense.
Talking about how to enfranchise women in country at a time when they are disproportionately underrepresented at radio — with the rare exception of a Morris, whose “Girl” single did achieve the rare feat of going No. 1 — she said, “I think the most impactful way to cause change in something that you’re frustrated with and disappointed with the outcome of so far is… You know, paying women is a good start. So I brought out female openers on my tour, and so has Miranda, so has Carrie.
