Morgan Wallen took home the CMA Award for entertainer of the year.

Wallen wasn't in attendance to accept the award, so presenter Jeff Bridges accepted on his behalf.

Other nominees in the category included Luke Combs, Jelly Roll, Chris Stapleton and Lainey Wilson.

Dierks Bentley, Molly Tuttle, Sierra Hull and Bronwyn Keith-Hynes came together on the CMA Awards stage for an epic performance of Tom Petty's classic song, "American Girl."

Jelly Roll took the stage to perform his song "Liar" with Keith Urban on guitar.

The pair performed the song, which is from Jelly Roll's "Beautifully Broken" album, with a choir and blazing fire in the background.

Lainey Wilson took home the CMA Award for female vocalist of the year.

During her acceptance speech, Wilson thanked her mom and dad, as well as the broader country music community.

"Man, this community has wrapped its arms around me and lifted me up from the get-go," she said.

"I've always been told that if you feel like you got a gift, you're supposed to share it," she continued, "and I think that means whether you drive a tractor or pour coffee, make people smile or laugh, whatever that is, I think you're supposed to share that gift. And I just want to say thank y'all so much for letting me share mine."

Other nominees in the category included Kelsea Ballerini, Ashley McBryde, Megan Moroney and Kacey Musgraves.
