It's time to celebrate country music and its biggest stars once again with the Country Music Association Awards.
On Wednesday, stars will be welcomed to the stage for the show, which will be a mix of in-person and taped performances, as so many shows have done since the outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic.
COVID-19 has already taken its toll on the show, however, as Lee Brice and Florida Georgia Line's Tyler Hubbard both tested positive for the novel virus and will miss their performances during the program.
Ahead of one of country music's biggest nights, here's a breakdown of what to expect:

Even though this year will look a little different than normal, I know that we’re all eager for a night of musical celebration, and this year’s show definitely won’t disappoint!”
