C17 This year’s CMA Awards are set for high drama, with Lainey Wilson earning six major nominations and standing on the brink of surpassing Miranda Lambert’s all-time record of 14 wins. While Lainey is celebrated as country’s fast-rising star bringing a fresh voice, Miranda remains a defining icon whose legacy feels untouchable.
Fans are split: is it time for a “new queen,” or should Miranda’s reign continue? Publicly, Miranda has praised Lainey, even remarking: “Records are made to be broken. If it’s Lainey, I’d rather it be someone who truly loves the music.”
No matter the outcome, this showdown isn’t just about trophies — it’s about inspiration, legacy, and the power of women in country music. Lainey may be chasing history, but Miranda’s impact will endure — and that’s why fans will be glued to this year’s CMA stage.
