Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert CMA Nominations: 'Automatic' Singer Beats Out Husband With 9 Nods, More Than Any Other Female Artist [VIDEO]
Miranda Lambert has matched her own record for most CMA Award nominations for a female artist.
Blake Shelton Announces He & Miranda Lambert Are 'Expecting'
According to a report by ABC News on Wednesday, Lambert is four nods ahead of her competitors with a total of nine nominations for her hit summer album Platinum, which was released on June 3.
When the award show comes around in November, Lambert will be up for a number of prestigious categories, including Vocal Event and Entertainer of the Year, a category which also features her husband and fellow country artist Blake Shelton.
This year Shelton earned three nominations, which ties him with Luke Bryan, Kasey Musgraves, and Lambert's Somethin' Bad duet partner Carrie Underwood.
"I woke up in NYC this morning to such great news!" declared Lambert upon hearing of her nominations. "Not only am I happy to be nominated but I'm happy to celebrate my husband's and friends' nominations!"
Now that Platinum has had a few months at the top of the charts, it's time to see how Shelton's new album does in the fray. His new single Neon Light was just released last week and the album, Bringing Back The Shine, is scheduled to hit stories September 30.
The 48th Annual CMA Awards will be hosted by none other than Underwood and Brad Paisley. The popular pair have hosted the event for seven straight years. The show will air live on ABC November 5 at 8 p.m. ET/PT.
