Country Stars React To Their CMA Nominations

This morning live on GMA Carly Pearce and Luke Combs revealed the CMA nominations. It was happy news to many of their peers, for others it was a tough morning.

It was a very good morning for the ones delivering the news! Congrats to Carly and Luke!

Luke Combs earned the second most nominations with 6 in total, including the highly coveted Entertainer of the Year Award. BTW, nice to see 2 women in this category, finally!

Combs posted on Instagram: "Wow. What a morning. Thank you to the @cma for the consideration. Thank you to my team, my band and crew, my family, my beautiful wife @nicohocking, and to the fans, we miss you. None of this is possible without any of you. WE did this. THANK YOU!"

It's been a day for Dan+Shay. Dan Smyers earned 6 nominations, including 4 he shares with bandmate Shay Mooney, and 3 with Justin Beiber for the crossover hit, "10,000 hours." Smyers scored individual noms for his work as a producer on the song.

After receiving 5 nods, Maren Morris posted, "In the year that paused for many of us, people turned to country music. Thank you to my peers for these nominations. To @hozier for amplifying this song even higher with your otherworldly talent & to @mirandalambert for having me on this stellar lineup. To @cma ! Oh, & THE WOMEN CLEANED UP THIS YEAR. ????"

As Maren pointed out, "The women cleaned up this year!" Probably none more excited than Ashley McBryde who always has a way with words.

First time nominee Ingrid Andress woke up to shock and awe

Jon Pardi was pumped to see his hard work being recognized
