In addition to the diverse and decorated set of presenters at the 58th Annual CMA Awards, the show includes some of country music’s finest acts and most notable songs. Airing live from Bridgestone Arena in Nashville on November 20, four out of the five Entertainer of The Year nominees are set to take the stage. Jelly Roll, Chris Stapleton, Luke Combs, and Lainey Wilson are bound for the stage. The only nominee not performing, or at least yet to be announced, is Morgan Wallen.
