In light of the recent mass shooting that occurred during the Route 91 Harvest Festival in Las Vegas, the Final Ballot for the CMA Awards that was previously scheduled to be sent to CMA Members today (Oct. 2), will be postponed until Tuesday, Oct. 3.
“Our hearts go out to the fans, artists and crew members who experienced the tragedy in Las Vegas last night. The country community is deeply saddened to hear lives were lost and many injured at the Route 91 Harvest Festival. Prayers for all as we search for understanding and come together to cope with this horrific act,” the organization said in a statement.
Earlier today, CMA’s Sarah Trahern, along with Nashville Mayor Megan Barry and Nashville Convention & Visitors Corp’s Butch Spyridon also announced a vigil will be held later today in Nashville, beginning at 6 p.m. at Ascend Amphitheater. Free parking will be available at Nissan Stadium Lot R.
