Here are all the winners from tonight's 2022 Country Music Awards
Luke Combs and Lainey Wilson both cleaned up at the biggest night in country music
The Country Music Awards, which see the more rootin’ and tootin’ of music’s genres take their annual chance to celebrate their most successful artists, were held in Nashville tonight. Hosted by singer Luke Bryan and Professional Charisma Machine Peyton Manning, the awards were, as always, a good way to judge the temperature of country music in any given this year. And in 2022, all meters are pointed toward Luke Combs and newcomer Lainey Wilson, both of whom cleaned up at tonight’s awards.
Combs was the big winner of the night, bringing home awards for Entertainer Of The Year and Album Of The Year for his third studio album, Growin’ Up. The album hit the very tops of Billboard’s country charts, and came within a single position place of dominating the overall Hot 200 listings; no surprise, then, that it topped tonight’s tabulations, too. Wilson, meanwhile, won for both Female Vocalist Of The Year and New Artist—the one-two punch of last year’s Sayin’ What I’m Thinkin’ and this year’s Bell Bottom Country clearly securing her spot as a rising talent on the scene.
Other winners at tonight’s awards included Cody Johnson, who snagged two awards for “’Til You Can’t,” Chris Stapleton as Male Vocalist Of The Year, and, of course, everyone in the audience who managed to survive watching Peyton Manning do “banter.”
