Lambert is also nominated for entertainer of the year.
"Music has been the driving force of my life since I started chasing this dream as a 17 year old, and what I’ve learned since then is that people make the music mean what it it does," Lambert said in a statement. "None of this matters without the songwriters who pour their hearts out alongside me, the co-producers who help give life to our words, and — most importantly — the fans who find themselves in those words."
She is joined by reigning CMA entertainer of the year Combs, Wallen, Carrie Underwood and Stapleton. This marks Wallen's first time being nominated in the category.
