Reigning CMA Vocal Duo of the Year Brothers Osborne and rising Country Music stars Lauren Alaina and Dustin Lynch are slated to announce the final nominees for The 51st Annual CMA Awards Country Music’s Biggest Night live from New York’s Times Square Monday, Sept. 4 on ABC’s Good Morning America.

Nominees in select categories will be announced in the 8:30 AM/ET half-hour segment of the top-rated morning news program. The highly-anticipated announcement will also be available via livestream on ABCnews.com/live. Brothers Osborne will close out the Labor Day show with a performance of the anthemic “It Ain’t My Fault.”

Immediately following the show, the remaining categories, as well as the CMA Broadcast Awards nominees will be revealed live on GoodMorningAmerica.com as well as via Good Morning America’s Facebook page through Facebook Live and simulcast on Good Morning America’s YouTube channel.

Lauren is one of CMT’s Next Women of Country and recently scored her first CMT Music Award for Breakthrough Video of the Year. Lauren has also been nominated for several Teen Choice Awards, Radio Disney Awards and this spring, Lauren earned her first ACM nomination for New Female Vocalist of the Year.

“The CMA Awards are my favorite time of the year. It’s exciting to honor Country Music’s legacy, celebrate today’s artists, and reveal the superstars of tomorrow,” said Sarah Trahern, CMA Chief Executive Officer. “Unlike any other awards show, we represent a rich history of one individual music genre. And to have these three acts unveil our nominees on a national platform signifies a new era of talent and the continued growth of the industry, a core pillar of our organization.”

The 51st Annual CMA Awards will air live from Nashville on Wednesday, Nov. 8, with Brad Paisley and American Idol season 4 winner Carrie Underwood once again serving as co-hosts.
