Luke Combs won his very first Entertainer of the Year trophy at the CMA Awards in 2021, and as he heads into the 2022 ceremony this week, he’ll have the chance to defend his title. He’s one of the contenders again this year.
But that doesn't mean that he's not going to try. On Wednesday night, he's going head to head against Miranda Lambert, Morgan Wallen, Carrie Underwood and Chris Stapleton in the category.
“Oh, for sure. No doubt about that, man,” Luke says, when asked if he’s hoping to extend his Entertainer reign for another year. “But again, it’s one of those things -- there’s nobody nominated that doesn’t have a good argument to win it.”
