She was sucking back the tears! She has compassion and lots of heart!

[@manytrades1842]

Yea but the "I've been here for 12 yrs. And country music finally loves me back." Think boyt Luke combs if I wasn't doing this. No matter how long you been doing country music owes you nothing. Wheaten you become a star is up to the universe not how many Yeats you tried. I really think she is koo koo. Also if she thinks she really is the best Entertainer she really need to be committed.

I saw her perform on the 22nd for Rome River Jam for my birthday present from my dad and I can say that that was the best birthday gift that I have ever gotten I got to go see one of the people who has inspired me the most plus I saw Bailey Zimmerman and Parker McCollum and they have all three inspired me so much.

The fact Carrie Underwood never won really is a travesty..especially from 2008-2016, she had 5 Albums and 5 world tours.

I love Morgan and as much as i wanted this for him, Lainey deserves it. Shes an incredible performer, and her shows are off the chain. That is what this award is about.

[@VS-zv7cx]

She has been performing on the coattails of bigger stars. Her talent is undeniable, but she has not proved herself as an independent performer, to headline shows. She had entertained as an opener. She shouldn’t have been in the running to begin with.

[@vs71597]

[@ko1187]

I have a question WHY? I mean the stats don’t add up. Her album was chart at #9 Country #51 Billboard 200 Her singles is 7 7 and non charted And I’m not seeing anything about Lainey headlining a tour for the eligibility period.
