Here is the 55th Annual CMA Awards recap featuring big wins by country superstars Chris Stapleton, Luke Combs, and more.
The 55th Annual CMA Awards took place last night (November 10th), returning to its normal format: one venue, no masks, no social distancing, and most importantly, a live audience! Luke Bryan hosted the historic night from Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. Chris Stapleton took home four awards, winning Male Vocalist of the Year, Album of the Year with Starting Over, and Single and Song of the Year for “Starting Over.” Luke Combs won the final and most prestigious award of the night, Entertainer of the Year, an iconic moment for the artist.
The show began with a medley of hits from Entertainer of the Year nominee, Miranda Lambert. She sang “Mama’s Broken Heart,” “Bluebird,” “Gunpowder & Lead,” and several other hits. The running joke of the night was that host, Bryan was incapable of hosting the show alone, even though he has performed in front of massive crowds, has hosted previously, and is on television every week on American Idol. Other artists felt the need to join in and assist the first-time CMA host. His fellow American Idol judges, Lionel Richie and Katy Perry even joined him to announc the first award of the night, Song of the Year, which Stapleton took home.
One of the best parts of these award shows are the electrifying collaborations that we would not see anywhere else. Chris Young and Kane Brown took to the stage together to sing “Famous Friends;” Breland and HARDY joined Dierks Bentley for a performance of their chart-climbing single, “Beers On Me;” Carly Pearce and Ashley McBryde teamed up for their brand new song “Never Wanted To Be That Girl,” one of the highlights of the night, and Jason Aldean and Carrie Underwood performed their number one song “If I Didn’t Love You.”
Early award announcements included Vocal Duo of the Year, which went to Brothers Osbourne, after a two-year run from Dan + Shay, who were also nominated. In a category that was stacked with talent, (HARDY, Mickey Guyton, Gabby Barrett, and Ingrid Andress) Jimmie Allen took home the New Artist of the Year award. Additionally, Old Dominion won the Vocal Group of the Year for the fourth straight year. They also performed their smash-hit “I Was On a Boat That Day” earlier in the show.
Although there were many standout moments throughout the night, there were a few that we loved the most. Some of our favorites include, Luke Combs debuting his brand new song “Doin’ This,” which is now available on all streaming platforms; Russell Dickerson bringing Sarah Frei, an amputee teen from Utah, on the CMA stage as well providing her with a wheelchair-accessible Chevrolet; Brittney Spencer and Madeline Edwards joining Mickey Guyton to perform her new song, “Love My Hair,” showing off their bountiful curls; and Chris Stapleton and Jennifer Hudson covering some of Aretha Franklin’s biggest hits in respect of the Queen of Soul. Fans and other artists were in awe of Hudson’s incredible vocal range, gathering grand reactions from Breland, Ashley McBryde, and HARDY in particular.
Other performers included Gabby Barrett who sang her number one song “The Good Ones;” Zac Brown Band who performed “Same Boat;” Keith Urban—“Wild Hearts;” Thomas Rhett—“Country Again;” Jimmie Allen—“Freedom Was A Highway;” Brother Osborne—“Younger Me;” Blake Shelton—“Come Back As A Country Boy;” Dan + Shay—“I Should Probably Go To Bed;” Chris Stapleton—“Cold;” and Eric Church—“Heart on Fire” with actual flames surrounding him.
Three categories were awarded before the show—two of them went to Kelsea Ballerini and Kenny Chesney for their song “half of my hometown.” The song won Best Musical Event and Music Video of the Year. Jenee Fleenor won the Musician of the Year for her incredible work on the fiddle.
At the end of the show, Carly Pearce was awarded Female Vocalist of the Year. Her fellow nominee, Ashley McBryde joined her on stage to help begin her speech, as she was clearly at a loss for words and overcome with emotion. The last two awards were given to Stapleton and Combs, for Male Vocalist and Entertainer of the Year, respectively. Bryan, who performed his latest single, “Up” earlier in the show, closed out the CMA Awards with a classic hit “I Don’t Want This Night to End.”

Miranda Lambert’s new song “If I Was A Cowboy” is out today, October 15th, on all streaming platforms. Learn more about the brand new track below.
We love it when superstar, Miranda Lambert digs her heels into her country roots. Clearly still inspired by her Texas uprising, Lambert leans into The Marfa Tapes sound and style on her brand new single. Today, the singer-songwriter releases “If I Was A Cowboy.”
On the slow jam, Lambert manages to give us sass and vulnerability at the same time. The song is all about girl power, confidence, and openness in a less traditional way. The singer dubs herself the ‘queen cowboy’ on this enticing new track. Written by Lambert with Jesse Frasure, the imaginative song is one you will instantly get attached to.
“Wanted by the law, but the law don’t apply to me // If I was a cowboy, I’d be wild and free // Rolling around these towns like tumbleweeds // I’d be a legend at lovin’ and leavin’ // Sippin’ on whiskey and numbin’ up my feeling // You thought the west was wild, but you ain’t saddled up with me”
“If I Was A Cowboy” comes just before Lambert releases her Christmas record with her girl group, Pistol Annies. Hell of a Holiday is slated for release on October 22nd.
Miranda Lambert’s brand new song, “If I Was A Cowboy” is officially out now.

Here are all of Miranda Lambert’s number one songs in her music catalog. Lambert has acquired eight number one hits from her studio albums and two number ones on featured tracks throughout her career. Check out the full list below.
1. “White Liar”- Revolution, 2009 *Hit #1 on Mediabase Country Chart
Lambert landed her very first number one song back in 2009 when “White Liar” from her debut studio album, Revolution, made its way to the top of the Mediabase Country chart. An electric track that still remains popular in her live performances today, “White Liar” is a Miranda Lambert staple.
2. “The House That Built Me”- Revolution, 2010 *Spent 4 weeks on Billboard Hot Country Songs
This iconic Lambert song soared to the top of the charts back in 2010. Still today, “The House That Built Me” is the songstress’ fastest rising single. The song brings back pure nostalgia and fans always look forward to Lambert serenading her audience with this stunning song.
3. “Heart Like Mine”- Revolution, 2011 *Reached #1 on both Billboard Hot Country Songs & US Country Airplay
This 2011 song has always been a track that portrays Lambert’s interpretation of what heaven would look like. Even back then, the singer would convey her faith and her truth through her music; despite, the fact, that she doesn’t always do things the “Christian way.” The song is definitely one of her best!
4. “Over You”- Four the Record, 2012 *Reached #1 on both Billboard Hot Country Songs & US Country Airplay
Miranda Lambert released “Over You” back in 2012. The song is a personal story about Lambert’s ex-husband, Blake Shelton losing his brother. The two wrote the song together and it remains one of the most recognizable hits for Lambert. The story will never not be heartbreaking and touching.
5. “Mama’s Broken Heart”- Four the Record, 2013 *Reached #1 on Billboard Canada Country
Miranda Lambert’s infectious track, “Mama’s Broken Heart” reached number one on the Billboard Canada Country chart and remains one of her standout songs today. Written by Shane McAnally, Brandy Clark and Kacey Musgraves, the sassy tune perfectly sums up losing your cool after a relationship gone wrong and ignoring all of the motherly advice on how a lady should handle the break-up.
6. “Automatic”- Platinum, 2014 *Reached #1 on Billboard Canada Country
Miranda Lambert’s “Automatic” served as the lead single from her fifth studio album, Platinum. Written by Lambert with Nicolle Galyon and Natalie Hemby, the track reached the top of the Billboard Canada Country chart in 2014 and earned Lambert nominations for two GRAMMYs for Best Country Solo Performance and Best Country Song.
7. “Somethin’ Bad” with Carrie Underwood – Platinum, 2014 *Hit #1 on Billboard Hot Country Songs
This killer duet with Carrie Underwood is Lambert’s first duet to reach the number one spot! When you have Underwood and Lambert on a song, it is hard to not fall in love with it. The song is powerful and sassy, a defective collaboration and combination.
8. “Bluebird”- Wildcard, 2020 *Reached #1 on both Billboard Country Airplay & Billboard Canada Country
Most recently, Lambert landed her 8th number one hit as a solo artist as she made her way to the top of the charts once again with her single “Bluebird.” The track is country music story-telling perfection, and we are so happy that Lambert got the recognition she deserved with this song.
In addition to her success, reaching eight number ones from releases on her studio albums, Lambert also earned three number one songs as a featured artist…
1. “We Were Us”- Keith Urban ft. Miranda Lambert, off Urban’s Fuse album, 2013 *Reached #1 on both US Hot Country Songs & US Country Airplay Charts
Back in 2013, Miranda Lambert joined Keith Urban on the classic hit “We Were Us”, earning the two a number one song to add to their collections. The track also won Musical Event of the Year at the 2014 CMA Awards.
2. “Drowns The Whiskey”- Jason Aldean ft. Miranda Lambert, off Aldean’s Rearview Town album, 2018 *Reached #1 on both US Country Airplay & Canada Country Charts
Teaming up eleven years after their first duet back in 2007 with “Grown Woman”, Miranda Lambert and Jason Aldean joined forces for the 2018 hit song “Drowns The Whiskey” off of Aldean’s Rearview Town album. The song perfectly captures the pairs vocals and we’re sure it will be fan-favorite collaboration for years to come.
3. “Drunk (And I Don’t Want To Go Home)” – Elle King and Miranda Lambert *Reached #1 on US Country Airplay
Recently, Lambert and King earned the number one spot for the this iconic collaboration. The song received accolades by the music industry and fans alike. “Drunk” is one of those songs that deserves all the recognition it has gotten thus far.
As Lambert continues to put out new music, there’s no telling how many future number ones the superstar will add to her growing list.

Miranda Lambert just released a brand new song, “They’ve Closed Down the Honky Tonks”, available everywhere now, May 18th. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the track.
This past year has been a difficult one for all of us, but for the entertainment industry, it has been detrimental for so many reasons. Like many artists, Miranda Lambert took solace in her craft as a singer and as a songwriter to share her pain, her feelings, and her experiences with the world. Fresh off her collaborative album with Jack Ingram and Jon Randall, The Marfa Tapes, the songstress releases the ultimate heartbreaking quarantine ballad, “They’ve Closed Down the Honky Tonks.”
For many of us, watching our favorite venues close down and the concerts we looked forward to get canceled was shocking. A year without live music is something none of us could ever see coming. On her new song, Lambert laments about this exact thing. Full of emotion, the entertainer sings about venues facing losses, the pain in the industry, and the shock and dismay everyone went through during the pandemic.
“They’ve closed down the honky-tonks // And now my world ain’t turning // The jukebox ran out of change // And the neon lights ain’t buzzing // There ain’t nothin’ sadder // Than covering Haggard // And nobody singing along // Y’all they’ve closed down all the honky-tonks”
Penned by Lambert, the song truly encompasses how musicians, fans, and music lovers everywhere felt the last year. We appreciate her honesty and vulnerability on this heartbreakingly beautiful song. Hats off to Lambert for always keeping it real!

The Marfa Tapes from Jack Ingram, Miranda Lambert, and Jon Randall is officially available now, May 7th, on all streaming platforms. Take a look below as we dig a little deeper into the new music.
For the last few weeks, country fans have anticipated the release of Miranda Lambert’s latest project, a collaboration with fellow musicians Jack Ingram and Jon Randall. The record is a culmination of intimate songs that the threesome wrote and recorded together in the tiny town of Marfa, Texas. Today, the singer-songwriters officially debuted the body of work, an album called THE MARFA TAPES.
Each of the fifteen songs off the project are standouts in their own right. There are songs about love, life, nostalgia, and heartbreak, all anchored by beauty, acoustics, and a unique connection between the three talents. Fans get a taste of what it’s like to be an artist, whose number one goal is to create music that they love with every anecdote that the trio chooses to share with us at the end of each raw and beautiful song.
The record kicks off with the previously released “In His Arms,” a timeless tale of longing for a distant love. “I Don’t Like It” led by Ingram is another love-centered song that we all can relate too. Love also plays a crucial part in other songs off the record like “Anchor” and “Am I Right Or Amarillo.”
Songs like “The Wind’s Just Gonna Blow,” “Geraldene,” and “Tin Man” explore the dark side of love. The heart-achingly beautiful songs all tap into different feelings associated with love loss. Similarly, “Breaking A Heart” honestly portrays how difficult it is to be the heartbreaker and how difficult it is to be the heartbroken. The track is one of our all-time favorites on the record.
The trio also makes sure to pay homage to their roots on this record, as their beginnings in Texas are one of the reasons they all came together to write and record, over these five special days. Songs like “Waxahachie,” “Homegrown Tomatoes,” and “We Always Have The Blues” bring the nostalgic feel that this record needed. Their appreciation for their craft seeps through on each of these three tracks.
“Ghost” is one of those songs that portray hurt, love, and nostalgia all in one, a feat that is hard to convey with such a simple arrangement. On the other hand the closing track, “Amazing Grace (West Texas)” makes sure to convey to the listener that Marfa, Texas has a special place in the hearts of each of the three creators. Their bond is pure, sentimental, and beautiful.
THE MARFA TAPES is country music at its finest. Lambert, Ingram, and Randall bring heart, grit, and pure appreciation for the genre to their one-of-a-kind record. The truth and honesty within each song is refreshing, and the record is a true creative masterpiece by three incredible musicians.
