Little Big Town could pick up their seventh consecutive CMA Award for Vocal Group of the Year. The group first took home the award in 2012. The foursome – made up of Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman, Phillip Sweet and Jimi Westbrook – have also won awards for Single of the Year in 2012 for “Pontoon,” as well as Single of the Year for “Girl Crush” in 2015.
Last year, they tied the record held for Vocal Group previously held by the Statler Brothers and Rascal Flatts with six wins in the category. This year, they’re once again nominated with their friends and former tour mates. “We truly are humbled by it,” says the band’s Phillip Sweet. “It’s just amazing to be in that category because there’s so much talent in that category. So, we’re just very thankful.”
The 52nd Annual CMA Awards, hosted by Carrie Underwood and Brad Paisley, will broadcast live from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on Wednesday (November 14th) at 8pm ET/PT on ABC.
