2013 cma awards

Blake Shelton has power. The singer, who is nominated for five CMA Awards this year and who is also the "winningest" coach in 'The Voice' history, was able to get the reality show's live schedule changed in order to avoid a conflict with the 47th annual CMAs. How did he do it? He exercised the equivalent of feminine wiles. And he begged. And pleaded. And cried.

Are you Carrie Underwood's biggest fan? Well, picture this: You and someone you know could be going to the 47th Annual CMA Awards in Nashville! Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood and WYRK want you to be there!

We are so incredibly proud to once again be nominated for a CMA at this year's CMA Awards. As much as we've hoped to win one, we haven't yet been able to bring the trophy home...yet.

The 2013 CMA Awards nominees have been announced, with stars like Jason Aldean and Taylor Swift once again leading a pack of talented Entertainer and Male/Female Vocalist of the Year contenders. The reveal included one big surprise in the Entertainer of the Year category, as George Strait earns a nomination for the first time since 2009.

One can't blame the casual country music fan for looking at the nomination leaders for the 2013 CMA Awards and asking, "Who?"

Every September, country music fans anxiously await the announcement of the year's CMA Awards nominees. In 2013, Florida Georgia Line and Sheryl Crow are the lucky artists who get to announce those nominees.
