CMA 2025 announced their 2025 Music Artist Winners on November 19 in Nashville at Bridgestone Arena.

Many top music artists didn't attend the event for various reasons and played a shadow over the televised show.

It was a big night for advertisers on the show which was a major distraction for the fan viewers.

There were 7-9 ads every 5 minutes after each song which never should have happened. It took all attention from

the show, very distracting.

There was no need for hundreds of ads. It was literally an ad show. and not a real country music show.

Country Music Star Kenny Chesney stole the show with his outstanding performance with the audience sang and stood

during his appearance.
