Urban, who has been nominated a total of 49 times, winning 13 (including three for Male Vocalist of the Year), enjoys taking home trophies, but finds satisfaction in just having his name among the list of nominees.
“I’ve been nominated nine times, so at some point, I’d come to terms and accepted that the nomination is the award,” Urban previously told PopCulture.com and other media. “I don’t know why things go that way sometimes. I love what I get to do; I put everything into it. But I know all the others do too, so thank you God. Really.”
The Aussie is especially grateful that his fans continue to support his music, even if it does blur the lines of country music.
“I guess what it is is the support I get for going on these creative adventures I go on,” Urban said of his overwhelming gratitude. “I feel pulled to particular music when I’m creating, and I don’t know where it goes sometimes, but I just wander along and float, and see where it goes. Sometimes it wanders off to a place I haven’t been before, and I don’t expect that people will support it necessarily.
“So when it happens like that,” continued the singer, “and I get to make a record like Graffiti U, or particularly Ripcord, those two records, and they get supported the way they have, it’s an incredible feeling, for any artist.”
Urban shares the Male Vocalist of the Year category with Dierks Bentley, Luke Combs, Thomas Rhett and Chris Stapleton. The Entertainer of the Year also includes Garth Brooks, Eric Church, Stapleton and Carrie Underwood.
The 2019 CMA Awards will air live from Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena on Wednesday, Nov. 13, at 8 p.m. ET on ABC. Underwood will once again host the live broadcast, this time with help from Dolly Parton and Reba McEntire.

NEW YORK CITY – DECEMBER 19: "Toil and Trouble" – Elsbeth is thrown into the world of television after the showrunner of a long-running police procedural is brutally murdered in his office, and although it appears to be the act of a disgruntled fan, she begins to suspect the show's longtime star Regina Coburn (Laurie Metcalf) who yearns for artistic fulfillment. Meanwhile, Judge Crawford (Michael Emerson) continues to be a thorn in Elsbeth's side, on the CBS original series ELSBETH, Thursday, Dec. 19 (10:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network, and streaming on Paramount+ (live and on demand for Paramount+ with SHOWTIME subscribers, or on demand for Paramount+ Essential subscribers the day after the episode airs).
