Tonight is certainly Country Music’s Biggest Night! The stars came out in full glitz and glam, and strutted along the red carpet ahead of the 50th Annual CMA Awards. The night was a black tie affair and set to honor the biggest legends and budding stars in the entirety of the country music genre.

The top nominees for the star-studded fête include Chris Stapleton, Eric Church and first-time nominee Maren Morris, each with five. Co-host Carrie Underwood is also up for the biggest award of the night…Entertainer of the Year.
