The nominations for the 2020 Grammy Awards were announced Wednesday, Nov. 20, and as always, a number of country music artists were included in the lineup thanks to the show’s multiple country categories.
Several major stars including Eric Church, Brandi Carlile and Thomas Rhett all scored nods, though none are up for awards in the all-genre arenas this time around. This year, the only country artist to score a nod in the general fields was Lil Nas X, who is one of the artists leading the overall nominations for 2020 with six.
