Keith Urban is nominated for three CMA Awards this year, including Entertainer, Male Vocalist and Album of the Year for Graffiti U. He took to his socials to do what he does best — perform his thank yous for all of the nominations. He said, “[It was] an amazing way to wake up and start the day. I love making music, simple as that. I love making music, and to get to make Graffiti U and have the support that it’s gotten and especially to see that this morning in action, that’s an incredible feeling. So to everybody that made that possible, thank you. Thank you very much.”

Kacey Musgraves had a pair of nominations, including Female Vocalist of the Year and Album of the Year for Golden Road.

Feeling grateful today. I’m lucky to get to explore all that inspires me and make chronological recordings of said inspiration for a living. Those resulting sounds, efforts, emotions, & thoughts being recognized by @CountryMusic Association [or anyone] means a lot to me. Thanks.
