Lainey Wilson Has a Hilarious Plan for Ella Langley if She Sweeps the 2026 CMA Awards

Ella Langley leads the 2026 CMA Awards nominations with nine, putting her in contention across multiple categories, including Entertainer of the Year against her friend Lainey Wilson. Wilson, hosting for the third consecutive year, joked that she would bring Langley a bedazzled broom and dustpan in case she sweeps the awards.

Wilson will also perform at the ceremony and said Entertainer of the Year means representing country music in the best light, a role that can look different from year to year. The awards are scheduled for 18 November at 8 pm ET on ABC and Disney+, with streaming on Hulu the following day.
