Eric Church, who performed his “Hell of a View” for the show, was awarded the night’s top honor of CMA Entertainer of the Year, a first for the artist. Maren Morris performed “The Bones” and was the night’s biggest winner, taking home three awards. Other winners included Luke Combs, Old Dominion, Dan + Shay, Morgan Wallen, Lee Brice, Carly Pearce, Miranda Lambert, Jenee Fleenor, and more. Photography courtesy of the Country Music Association
