Martina McBride receives Female Vocalist of the Year CMA nomination

Martina McBride snagged a CMA Award nomination for Female Vocalist of the Year, but she’s definitely got some tough competition.

Also vying for the top spot is Miranda Lambert, Taylor Swift, Reba McEntire and Carrie Underwood.

Last year, the category was won by Taylor Swift, who dominated the evening with five wins. This year, the gears have shifted a bit, and Miranda Lambert has made CMA Award history by being the first ever female with 9 nominations.

It’s definitely a night that you won’t want to miss, and it will be again hosted by Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood. Be sure to tune in to ABC on Nov. 10 as the 2010 CMA Awards air live from the Bridgestone Arena in Nashville.

Martina on TV for Airing of CMA Music Fest Show

Highlights of Martina McBride’s set from the 2009 CMA Music Festival will air on ABC from 8-11 p.m. on Aug. 31. The show, “CMA Music Festival: Country’s Night to Rock,” will also feature the performances of other country stars, including Taylor Swift, Kenny Chesney, Sugarland, Reba McEntire, Kid Rock, Darius Rucker, Brad Paisley, and many more.

The four-day festival has been released for TV audiences for the last five years, giving country music fans a chance to experience the festival if they couldn’t be there themselves. The show follows the performers, and also offers viewers a “behind the scenes” peek at some backstage moments.

Martina McBride’s new album has a name!

Martina McBride’s upcoming album, “Shine,” is scheduled for release on March 24! Here’s what martina has to say about the upcoming album in her online journal:

Turned the album in to RCA on Thursday! I’m so excited. We have an album cover and a name. It’s going to be called “Shine”. I love the name. It’s such a strong, powerful word. There are two songs on the record where “shine” is used…”Ride” and another song called “I Just Call You Mine.” It’s also kind of a reference to the song “Sunny Side Up.” AND it feels like what I am going to do with this record….shine! So, now we just have to wait until March 24th!
