In recent days, several artists and their fans have spoken out about this year's CMA Awards red carpet guidelines. Like any major televised event, the red carpet has criteria that exists to help manage limited space and the security needs for both the artists and the media. We are deeply sorry anyone felt excluded by those decisions.

Our organization's mission is to honor the history and celebrate the excellence of Country Music. With this 60th anniversary year, we are working extra hard to simultaneously spotlight the last six decades, while also celebrating what has been a tremendous year in 2026. It's not easy to do all of that in just one night, but we are up for the challenge.

We also know this is about more than a red carpet, and we are committed to keep listening and keep finding ways to make sure all artists feel welcome and at home here. To that point, we are in touch with Sammy Kershaw's team and look forward to continuing that conversation.

@DollyParton founded the @dollyslibrary with a simple but powerful belief that every child deserves the chance to fall in love with reading, regardless of family income. Now, these artists are sharing the books that helped shape their own childhoods 📚
