The CMA Awards are back with another year of incredible performances and new award winners who will join the ranks of the country’s best.

Brothers Osborne was the Vocal Duo winner of 2023. This win marked their sixth time winning this award. Their streak started in 2016, and they have won nearly every year since then. The duo only lost in 2019 and 2020 to Dan + Shay.
