Well, now we know.
As of Wednesday morning (Aug. 28), we know which country artists the Country Music Association deemed worthy of one of their coveted CMA Awards nominations.
There were announced by Jimmie Allen and Ashley McBryde on Good Morning America. And after they made the announcement, they performed Morgan Wallen’s “If I Know Me” with Wallen. (Not to be confused with the 1991 No. 1 song of the same name from George Strait.)
