It’s officially ladies’ night at the 2025 CMA Awards on Wednesday (Nov. 19), with Ella Langley, Megan Moroney and Lainey Wilson entering the night as the top nominees with six nods apiece.
In fact, Langley nabbed one of the early CMA Awards, taking home music video of the year for her Riley Green collab “You Look Like You Love Me” — a video she co-directed with John Park and Wales Toney.
But who will take home the other prizes? The 59th annual CMA Awards are broadcasting live tonight from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, 8 to 11 p.m. ET on ABC, and you can follow along with Billboard for the complete winners list below.
