New Faces to Spice Up CMA Awards

As anticipation builds for the 43rd annual CMA Awards, the fresh faces of country music have started separating themselves from the pack of nominees.

As the usual suspects Kenny Chesney, George Strait, Brad Paisley, Carrie Underwood and Reba McEntire have multiple nominations, newcomers such as Ashley Monroe, Darius Rucker, Randy Houser, the Zac Brown Band could make for a more interesting, hot show.

Taylor Swift, one of the youngest nominees, is up for Entertainer of the Year which is the first time a woman has been up for a nomination in this category since Faith Hill in 2000. Swift is also up for Best Album, "Fearless," Music Video for "Love Story." She will compete for Female Vocalist with Texan bombshell Miranda Lambert.

The show will be packed with performances by: George Strait, Lambert, Swift, Paisley, Underwood, Chesney, McBride, McEntire, Rucker, Urban and Sugarland. Look for the show live from Nashville tomorrow, Nov. 11, on ABC.
