Miranda Lambert Wrestles With Country’s Gentlemen for 2014 CMA Top Honors
Christian George Acevedo | | Nov 05, 2014 05:28 AM EST |
Country singer Miranda Lambert is up against some of the hottest and biggest country boys' for CMA's Entertainer of the Year Award, the highest award in that the country music could bestow.
Vying for the top honors, aside from Lambert, are country legend George Strait, Australian guitarist and hunk Keith Urban, best-selling party boy Luke Bryan; and Lambert's hubby, Blake Shelton.

But Lambert is a force to reckon. Wednesday's Country Music Association Awards, to air on ABC at 8 p.m. EDT Wednesday, could be the country music muse's night.
Lambert got a total of nine nominations, more than any other country music singer. Her nominations include entertainer, album, song and single of the year awards.
If Lambert sweeps all the nominations, she's set to become a league of her own. After all, she's already won seven trophies already.
Interestingly, Taylor Swift grabbed her nomination (considered her last in the country music genre) for female vocalist of the year. However, critics and speculators agree that the country-turned-pop singer has a low chance of winning given that she has been vocal when she turned her back against the genre she has been associated for the past years.
Here is the list of the nominees for the major awards of this year's CMA.
