Here are the rest of the nominees who were announced live on Billboard's YouTube page:
Earlier this month, it was revealed that Underwood will host the show yet again, but that she'll be joined by icons Reba McEntire and Dolly Parton, celebrating legendary women in country music throughout the ceremony.
"It’s an incredible honor to welcome Carrie, Reba and Dolly to the CMA Awards stage this year," said CMA CEO Sarah Trahern. "In addition to awarding the year’s best and brightest in the genre, ‘The 53rd Annual CMA Awards’ will celebrate the legacy of women within Country Music, and we couldn’t think of a more dynamic group of women to host the show."
The 2019 CMAs are set for Nov. 13 on ABC.
