The 2024 CMA Awards will serve as the stage for some of country music’s most spectacular outfits.
With Luke Bryan, Peyton Manning and Lainey Wilson co-hosting the event, this year’s awards show promises an array of standout sartorial moments. Ahead of the annual celebration, which will host country musicians including Jelly Roll, Shaboozey and Kelsea Ballerini, the stars will show off their dazzling looks on the red carpet outside of the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville.
In 2007, 17-year-old Taylor Swift, who took home the award for Entertainer of the Year, looked dreamy in a shiny gold gown. Canadian country sensation Shania Twain wore a slinky spaghetti-strapped dress with silver accents to the 2003 awards show, while the Chicks put on a sparkly display in coordinating beaded ensembles at the 2000 ceremony.
