Morgan Wallen’s CMA Awards History
Morgan Wallen has not won a CMA award since taking home the title of New Artist of the Year in 2020. A few months later, he was engulfed in controversy after a video surfaced online of the singer using a racial slur.
As a result, Wallen was not invited to the 2021 CMA Awards ceremony despite being nominated for Album of the Year. Additionally, the musician was not eligible to be nominated in any individual categories.
The Tennessee native did attend the CMA Awards in 2023 but did not take home any trophies.
Best of luck to Morgan Wallen and all of the nominees. Tune in on November 20th to see who wins this year!
