CMA Awards 2023 | Lainey Wilson steals the show & Jelly Roll among the award recipients - full list of winners

Country music star Lainey Wilson dominated the proceedings at the 2023 CMA Awards at the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville. Wilson picked up five awards including Entertainer and Album of the Year, while her collaboration with HARDY for the song ‘Wait in the Truck’ earned her a further three awards, becoming the most successful artist from last night's proceedings.

It was good news also for Jelly Roll, who despite not picking up Male Vocalist of the Year did see his efforts rewarded by scooping New Artist of the Year. Jelly Roll and been on somewhat of a roll (pardon the pun) this year, with his presence outside the realms of country music being noticed by audiences more acquainted with mainstream artists, signifying a crossover appeal that country music often finds itself dabbling with (see: early Taylor Swift)

Tracy Chapman was also awarded at the event, as Luke Combs’ cover of her classic 1998 single, ‘Fast Car,’ earned Single of the Year for the musician while Chapman earned ‘Song of the Year’ as the song’s original composer. The song earned Chapman her first music award, dating back to 1988 when the song earned her the Best Female Video award at that year’s Billboard Music Awards.
