Carrie Underwood is only up for one award, the one she won last year Female Vocalist of the Year. Brad Paisley is up for numerous awards, including going for the Male Vocalist of the Year award he won last year.
Be ready, this year the fans get to vote on the Entertainer of the Year award for the first time. The voting starts on May 5th and I’ll let you know where to vote for your favorite.
