The show will air live from the Sommet Center in Nashville. The CMA Awards, often called "Country Music's Biggest Night," honors the year's best in country music and always features plenty of top-name performances. "It's a night to applaud our best and brightest performers, songwriters, record producers and music video directors. And we are ready to make this the most outstanding Awards broadcast to date," says CMA Chief Executive Officer Tammy Genovese.
