Jelly Roll and his wife Bunnie Xo. They didn&#8217;t give an official reason for skipping, but both of them have been saying how tired they are lately.<\/p>\n<p>[tiktok url=&#8221;https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@ohheyitsbunnie\/video\/7574262194402086157&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>2. Jason Aldean and Brittany Aldean. A fan asked why they weren&#8217;t at the CMAs, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whiskeyriff.com\/2025\/11\/20\/brittany-aldean-shades-cma-awards-when-asked-why-she-jason-aldean-werent-at-the-show-not-much-love-from-that-one\/\">Brittany responded, &#8220;Not much love from that one.&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>3. Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani. Some people think it&#8217;s because they are going through a rough patch, but a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eonline.com\/news\/1425208\/cma-awards-2025-blake-shelton-gwen-stefani-not-attending\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">source claims that, &#8220;Blake and Gwen will be watching the CMAs on their TV this year.&#8221;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>4. Post Malone was also nowhere to be found. He did take home Musical Event of the Year for his song &#8220;Pour Me a Drink&#8221; with Blake Shelton. But I guess they&#8217;d both rather have that drink at home.<\/p>\n<p>5. And the biggest name that skipped is Morgan Wallen. <a href=\"https:\/\/theboot.com\/ixp\/204\/p\/morgan-wallen-cma-awards-2025-boycott\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fans say he&#8217;s boycotting the event because of being rejected in the past<\/a>, but that&#8217;s only hearsay. Maybe he just doesn&#8217;t like award shows. Besides, Lainey Wilson won everything anyway.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, the only performance that got panned online was Megan Moroney&#8217;s &#8220;6 Months Later,&#8221; and now it&#8217;s the only song from the show that&#8217;s not available online.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Here Are All the Country Stars That Skipped the CMAs","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":32077,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_img_display":"Yes","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[36,189,4897,1044,39,6195,3995,4672,171],"class_list":["post-33883","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-country-music-news","tag-blake-shelton","tag-brittany-aldean","tag-bunnie-xo","tag-cma-awards","tag-gwen-stefani","tag-jason-aleadn","tag-jelly-roll","tag-megan-moroney","tag-morgan-wallen"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-04-12 14:06:38","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"react_link":"https:\/\/country959.com\/blogs\/country-music-news\/2025\/11\/country-stars-the-skipped-the-cma-awards\/","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33883","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=33883"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/33883\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/32077"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=33883"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=33883"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/briwebapp.net\/cjwffm\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=33883"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
