Country music’s biggest stars turned out to attend the 56th CMA Awards on Wednesday, November 9. The ceremony was held at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena. Luke Bryan and Peyton Manning served as the hosts.
Some of the night’s winners were Lainey Wilson, Cody Johnson, Chris Stapleton, and Luke Combs. Combs secured the Entertainer of the Year award for the second year in a row.
While the ceremony was full of exciting moments, it was also exciting to watch the stars arrive on the red carpet. Everyone dressed to the nines to celebrate the occasion!
Below you’ll find over ten of our favorite red carpet looks from the 2022 CMA Awards.
