Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic These weren’t your grandfather’s CMA Awards… or even yours, from, say five years ago.

A new generation has been firmly installed, between the big look for Lainey Wilson, who is only on her second major-label album but was named entertainer of the year, and other winners from Luke Combs to Hardy, who were also unknown a decade ago.

When Chris Stapleton suddenly nearly seems like the “old guard” after only six years of accruing awards, things have changed.

The year’s winners came through the backstage area to discuss what their wins mean and, in some cases, how country is changing.

It's supposed to be the most wonderful time of the year with gifts to buy and exchange, homes to decorate and, of course, lots of social events to look forward to. But for some Christmas can simply be overwhelming. While a packed calendar fills many with delighted anticipation, the sheer length of those to do lists can, for many, feel like a mountain to climb and as the pressure mounts, the excitement ebbs away.

Bob Dylan Defends Jann Wenner, Says He Got ‘Booted’ From Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and ‘We’re Trying to Get Him Back In’

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Bob Dylan rarely speaks in his concerts beyond a “thank you,” so when he says even something trivial from the stage, people listen — and when he suddenly breaks with form to defend a controversial figure, they lean in even more. At a show Thursday night at the Beacon Theatre in New York City, he defended Rolling Stone magazine founder Jann Wenner, who in September was removed from the board of directors of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation — which he also co-founded — after remarks in a New York Times interview that were perceived as sexist and racist.

Wallen and Hardy started together, running through Diffie’s 1993 song “John Deere Green,” before welcoming Malone to the stage to sing the 1994 hit “Pickup Man” as a trio. While Post Malone is most strongly associated with hip-hop and pop, he has shown his love of the country genre before with numerous covers of songs in the genre, like “I’m Gonna Miss Her (The Fishin’ Song)” by Brad Paisley, “You Can Have the Crown” by Sturgill Simpson and “There’s a Tear in My Beer” by Hank Williams.

How CMAs nominee Jelly Roll went from jailed rapper to country’s hottest star

Country Music Association Awards — one of five awards he’s up for Wednesday night at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena — but he’s hardly fresh off the farm.In fact, the Antioch, Tennessee native, behind hits such as “Need a Favor” and current single “Save Me,” started his recording career as a rapper with the hip-hop group SNO, back in 2011 — long before making his country debut with the chart-topping “Son of a Sinner” in 2022.So really, the only thing “new” about the artist born Jason DeFord is his genre of choice.“There’s something poetic about a 39-year old man with a 300-song release catalog being nominated for the CMA New Artist award,” Jelly Roll told The Post on a break from award show rehearsals. “It encapsulates my feelings this week, whether I win it or not.”The music biz vet is the second most-nominated artist on Music City’s biggest night, trailing only Lainey Wilson — “My dance partner at country radio right now,” Jelly Roll points out — with whom he’s up for Musical Event of the Year, for “Save Me.” What’s more, the dude with the country music tradition-bucking tattooed face is also opening the festivities — singing Single of the Year nominee “Need a Favor.”“It’s the honor of all honors.
