Lambert is also a contender for the CMA's top award, entertainer of the year, along with Lady Antebellum, Brad Paisley, Keith Urban and the Zac Brown Band. Lady Antebellum led all groups with five nominations. The two reigning entertainers of the year -- Carrie Underwood and Taylor Swift -- were left off the list this year, although Underwood received nominations for female vocalist and album of the year, while Swift -- arguably country music's biggest crossover star, but in a year without a proper release -- is only up for female vocalist honors.
