CMA Awards

Gord Bamford is officially an international superstar. The Canadian recently took home three Canadian Country Music Awards, including being named the Country Music Association's Global Artist of the Year.

Luke Bryan is nominated for three CMA Awards, including the coveted Entertainer of the Year. His good fortune, he says, is "crazy."

Dierks Bentley is nominated for five CMA Awards, including one for Male Vocalist of the Year, making him the top male nominee. But of all his nominations -- which also include ones for Song of the Year, Single of the Year and Music Video of the Year -- he says it's the Album of the Year nod for his No.1 album 'Riser,' which was released earlier this year, that means the most to him.

It's been quite a year for George Strait. The country music superstar wrapped up his sold-out farewell The Cowboy Rides Away Tour, starred in a two-hour TV special, 'George Strait: The Cowboy Rides Away' and will release his live album, 'The Cowboy Rides Away: Live from AT&T Stadium.' He's also nominated for his 83rd CMA Award, for Entertainer of the Year, capping off one of the most memorable years of his career.

The Eli Young Band are nominated once again for a CMA Award for Vocal Group of the Year, a category they've been named in every year since 2012 but have yet to win. But the four-man group says being nominated really is validation enough.

Brandy Clark is a happy woman. The singer-songwriter received two CMA Awards nominations, for New Artist of the Year and Song of the Year for Kacey Musgraves' 'Follow Your Arrow.'

They must be doing something right, because Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood are returning to host the CMA Awards ... for the seventh time!

Taylor Swift has assembled an all-star "band" to join her when she performs at the 2013 CMA Awards on Nov. 6, and it's quite an impressive cast of musicians.

I have some of the craziest dreams. But many times I have these vivid, so real you can touch them dreams. Those are the ones that I can remember each and every detail of what happened. I posted my dream on Facebook and someone messaged me and said "You should look the things that stand out in a dream dictionary to see what it means." So I did and I'm so glad I did!

Tonight's CMA Awards will be exciting! Eric Church leads all nominees with 5. He has certainly had a big year but so have other artists. The CMA's are on tonight starting at 8pm on ABC. Don't miss the biggest night in Country Music! How do YOUR picks match up with Randy and Sharon's?
