Looks like Miranda didn't make the top 15 for EOTY. The only other female is Lainey.

I'm sorry and no shade to Lainey at all, but I really don't want to see her in the final 5 nominees for entertainer, mainly since they waited over a decade to even get Carrie there, when her success then far succeeded what Lainey has achieved.
I feel like the general public/industry is getting a little too fascinated with her, she's had two solo hits, and a couple of duets, and the industry and general public is already calling her the next Dolly. I just get annoyed seeing how much more CU has accomplished over her career and the industry always just swept it under the rug and tried pulling any justification not to acknowledge her. And I say all this loving Lainey as a person.

To be fair Carrie was massive from the start too, and the public was obsessed. It just what happens. Had Carrie come up now with the hits she started with, she'd likely be in the final 15 for EOTY also, heck she may have been back in 2006, we just didn't know.
Lainey may not make it to the final round anyway. I think it's still too early for her, plus it seems, despite how big a female artist gets they always have to wait a little longer to get into EOTY versus a male artist. I think Carrie is in this year, and Lainey is on the outside. Could be wrong though.

Agreed. I don’t mind her being in the top 15, as I can acknowledge her success has been relatively large for a female in the genre over the past year, it’s just if she makes it to the final ballot that will rub me the wrong way, given how long Carrie had to wait, after all of her success she saw.

Maybe I’m too optimistic… but I do feel Carrie has a MUCH BETTER shot this year than any other year (excluding 2016) of winning EOTY.

Honestly, the way I see it is the the labels/promoters are simply just doing their jobs. Is it to early for Lainey to be consider for Entertainer? YES!!! If I was in charge of promoting artists, I'm putting them in every category that they are able to be in, no matter in they are ready to be there or not.

I think Lainey has largely benefited from some viral things on social media. If she does get nominated that would be too much for me, because she would probably end up winning soon if that happened. I get that she’s had success but the success might not have any longevity. Carrie had to wait over a decade before she was consistently an EOTY nominee

I'm not going to get excited for EOTY at the CMAs, but I will say. If Carrie gets in and is the only female, her odds are a lot better than the past few years were when it was both her and Miranda competing for votes.
Technically Combs and Wallen had larger years, but I see all those years where Carrie rightfully earned it at they overlooked her, so I don't see an issue, since she had a very successful year herself. Maybe Wallen and Combs will split the votes and CU will be able to pull ahead.

I do wonder if Miranda didn’t make the top 15 due to leaving her label. If so, it would really speak to the power that holds.
I will never expect Carrie to win anything at these award shows tbh. We didn’t even win anything at the CMTs this year (granted they changed the way to vote), but it’ll probably go to combs or something. They’ll always pass up Carrie when she deserves it but couldn’t dare do that to the other nominees

Carrie has dominated the CMT Awards for years. I’m ok with others winning.
CU4ever

I’m not lol. I’ll always want her to dominate them since she often unfairly loses every other award at the other shows

I don’t think any award shows are fair tbh. Of course, I’m never opposed to her winning… just ok to share the wealth. Everything is political.
Other fan bases might feel she has unfairly won all these years at the CMTs.
CU4ever

Maybe. But Because the CMTs are fan voted, I don’t think that’s the same feeling/thing as her never winning anything at the industry voted shows, which are unfair to her. Including years she lost FVOTY while the winning artist took that year off, or the 2019 CMA EOTY. It’s just not the same thing

Saaame lol
Semantics really. Is what it is. Shouldn't disparage another artist (Lainey, it's not her fault) just because you think she might get nominated which isn't the most likely scenario.

I didn’t disparage Lainey. I never said anything was her fault…lol. I wasn’t even the one who brought her up or the only one who said this. I just said it would be disappointing because Carrie had to wait so long to be acknowledged and nominated consistently for her success.

The disappointment towards other artists achievements is a bit disparaging. It makes it seems as if they don't deserve the success or the accolades. It might not be a direct word for word criticism, but it definitely puts down another artist to constantly act as if they shouldn't be considered in the same category with Carrie. Now, you can personally feel that way, but it doesn't mean on the whole that should be the case.
