Morgan Wallen

Grief, regret and hopelessness are three major themes in this countdown of the most depressing country songs of all time.

Wallen's been AWOL for a while, including an uncharacteristic absence from the CMAs.

We want to send you and a guest to Gulf Shores, Alabama to experience Morgan Wallen's 'Sand in My Boots' music festival!

Shaboozey, Dolly Parton, Taylor Swift and Post Malone are also all among the finalists for the 2024 BBMAs.

Including what it took to get Jelly Roll onboard for Brooks & Dunn's "Believe."

Country music's biggest stars were all on hand ... with a few very notable exceptions.

The country superstar missed the CMAs, but he's been MIA for a lot longer than that.

It's the biggest trophy of the night.

And the winners are ...

Get ready for the 2024 CMA Awards, a night filled with top country music stars and fierce competition!

It doesn't sound like things went well for the reality television star.

Wallen's no stranger to chart domination, but this new accomplishment is a big deal, even for him.
