“The excitement that comes with the announcements of the CMA Award nominations brings me such delight every year,” Womack said. “I can remember watching the Awards as a young Texas girl and dreaming of one day being a part of something that brings such honor to what I’ve always been so passionate about. It’s a time to celebrate the artists, songwriters, musicians, producers and the industry in general.”
