Morgan Wallen Earns Seven Nominations, While Beyoncé Misses Out
The nominations for the 2024 CMA Awards were announced on August 24, with Morgan Wallen leading the pack with seven nominations. Surprisingly, Beyoncé was snubbed from any nominations despite her album "Renaissance" being eligible for consideration.
