The CMAs are on ABC, tonight, at 8pm CST – (Wednesday, November 11th) – But, before you settle in, with your favorite beverage, here’s everything you need to know.

The CMAs will be the first live, in-person show.  However, with Coronavirus still running rampant and some participants testing positive, there are some changes that allow for additional safety.

Instead of Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, where the awards are usually held, Music City Center has been transformed to resemble the ‘CMA Awards Banquet & Show’ from 1967.  This allows for social distancing.

Reba McEntire will be hosting for her fifth time; and Daris Rucker hosts for the first time.

Country music’s all-stars will hit the stage to perform and present .  Charley Pride will receive the 2020 Willie Nelson Lifetime Achievement Award, presented by Rucker.
