Another year empty handed after the CMA Awards for Morgan Wallen. Tonight, host Lainey Wilson took home the coveted Entertainer of the Year award trophy, after being up against a stacked group in Cody Johnson, Chris Stapleton, Luke Combs, and of course, Morgan Wallen. View this post on Instagram We knew going into it that Morgan was highly unlikely to attend, because he won Entertainer of the Year last year and didn’t show up, and he never even really addressed the award or even acknowledged it, other than posting a picture of the trophy in a slideshow on Instagram. He recently drove his point him during a surprise appearance with Ella Langley at the Ryman Auditorium when he took another shot at the CMA Awards, which take place just steps from the Ryman at Bridgestone Arena: “It takes a lot more than an awards show to get me out to Broadway these days, I’ll tell you that.” So yeah, I don’t think anyone really expected him to be there in person, but I think some fans were a little surprised that he didn’t win one award, despite being nominated for the aforementioned Entertainer of the Year award, as well as Album of the Year for I’m the Problem and Male Vocalist of the Year. But despite consistently topping both the country and all-genre charts, selling out stadiums all over the world and having unprecedented success with each album release worldwide, that hasn’t been enough to secure the biggest trophy at the CMA Awards, or even any of the other ones for the categories he was nominated in. I love Lainey, I have nothing against her winning or any of the other nominees had they taken home the EOTY this year, because it was a stacked category and they were all very deserving, but there’s no question who is at the top right now in country music, and even music in general, and it’s Morgan Wallen. These shows do themselves no favors by making these kinds of calls and only validate the criticisms and issues so many fans already have with them. Personally, I don’t think these awards prove anything one way or the other about how good or bad any artist or band is, so I really don’t care that much about who wins what either way, but of course, fans certainly had a lot to say about it online: You will never convince me Laney Wilson’s new album is better than Morgan Wallwns. Let ALONE, that anyone besides Morgan Wallen is the entertainer of the year.@CountryMusic #countrymusic — Zeus¹⁶ (@ZeusssR6) November 20, 2025 I just want to know WHY MORGAN WALLEN DIDN’T WIN ANYTHING?!? @CountryMusic — Kribse M.S (@krib_zee) November 20, 2025 The fact Morgan Wallen didn’t get entertainer of the year is a total joke. None sold out football stadiums all year like him. #cma2025 #morganwallen — Nate Carver (@Carvercat21) November 20, 2025 Look I love Lainey Wilson, she’s awesome But She shouldn’t be Entertainer of the Year lol Morgan Wallen should have won that, he’s selling out football stadiums and breaking every record in music. But the voters are very biased and dumb lol — Ben Diesel (@BenDiesel24) November 20, 2025 Morgan Wallen should’ve won. We all know this #cma2025 — JG (@J_Graham15) November 20, 2025 The Fact Morgan Wallen isn’t a regular as entertainer of the year is borderline criminal , buddy sells out stadiums in minutes but chooses to not go to award shows so he gets passed up — Wes Hudson (@cfhnole) November 20, 2025 I know Morgan Wallen doesn’t care about these awards or award shows, but he IS the entertainer of the year. — Alyssa Kay (@alyssa4jb) November 20, 2025 And they wonder why Morgan Wallen doesn’t attend any of the award shows….absolutely ridiculous. #cma2025 #countrymusic — Nikki Hardin (@Nikki_Hardin17) November 20, 2025 Aaaand it continues to make sense why Morgan Wallen doesn’t show up to this @CountryMusic #CMAawards — Josue Mendoza (@Josuizzy9_TVO) November 20, 2025 Morgan Wallen once again robbed of entertainer of the year CMA awards should be ashamed for being so politically motivated in their decisions every single year with these awards #cma2025 — GutsyPicksCash (@GutsyPicksCash) November 20, 2025 Lainey Wilson Entertainer of the Year over Morgan Wallen? Okay… — CockPhin (@DSandman1801) November 20, 2025 Nothing against Lainey at all but there is NO WAY Morgan Wallen doesn’t get one award! #cmaawards — Rob (@hitman6498) November 20, 2025 Neither Chris Stapleton nor Morgan Wallen won a single CMA award this year. — Kyle (@astronautikyle) November 20, 2025 Not taking anything away from the nominees, but Morgan Wallen not Winning entertainer of the year is a joke. — JMack (@VALambeauLeaper) November 20, 2025 At this rate, I don’t know if Morgan will ever attend another CMA Awards show, and he seems to be more than okay with that.The post Morgan Wallen Fans Are NOT Happy That He Was Completely Snubbed At This Year’s CMA Awards: “A Total Joke” first appeared on Whiskey Riff.
