We live in the age of spin. So no matter who is nominated for what at the upcoming CMA Awards, artists\u2019 teams will find ways to make it sound like someone has already won something.<\/p>\n

But the artists themselves? They are way more chill about it. Excited? Sure. But still very chill.<\/p>\n

So while Maren Morris could advertise the fact that she is the most nominated artist this year with her six nominations, she is acting simultaneously shocked and awed.<\/p>\n

\n

really unexpected to wake up to but DAMN. thank you, @CountryMusic<\/a> and my peers for the nominations this year.\u2728 pic.twitter.com\/7iWChgsb6c<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 MAREN MORRIS (@MarenMorris) August 28, 2019<\/a><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Her husband had a little bit more to say on Maren\u2019s behalf. What are spouses for, right?<\/p>\n

\n

Massive day for my better half. Never gets old. She worked for 3 years on this album and it\u2019s amazing to see her get recognized. Congrats on the billion nominations, girl. @MarenMorris<\/a> #girl<\/a><\/p>\n
