CMA Awards Will Have an Audience, Despite the Pandemic

Unlike all of the other award shows that have been happening during the pandemic in 2020, the 2020 CMA Awards will take place with an audience.

The event is airing live tonight (November 11) from Nashville and the CEO of the Country Music Association, Sarah Trahern, is opening up about what fans can expect.

“Although the show will feel a bit more intimate this year, we look forward to hosting our nominated artists and their guests as we celebrate the best of country music in a fully safe and physically distant environment. It will be an honor to bring the biggest country stars in the world together – in one room – for the first time this year. You won’t want to miss it!” she said.

It seems the audience will be sitting in a socially distanced arrangement and likely will just consist of the nominees and their guests.
