Country Stars The Skipped The CMA Awards
November 21, 2025 9:51 amThe CMA Awards were just handed out, and overall, people seemed to love the show.
But even though it was “Country Music’s Biggest Night,” not all the biggest stars in the country world were there.
Here are the country stars who skipped the CMAs:
1. Jelly Roll and his wife Bunnie Xo. They didn’t give an official reason for skipping, but both of them have been saying how tired they are lately.

2. Jason Aldean and Brittany Aldean. A fan asked why they weren’t at the CMAs, and Brittany responded, “Not much love from that one.”
3. Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani. Some people think it’s because they are going through a rough patch, but a source claims that, “Blake and Gwen will be watching the CMAs on their TV this year.”
4. Post Malone was also nowhere to be found. He did take home Musical Event of the Year for his song “Pour Me a Drink” with Blake Shelton. But I guess they’d both rather have that drink at home.
5. And the biggest name that skipped is Morgan Wallen. Fans say he’s boycotting the event because of being rejected in the past, but that’s only hearsay. Maybe he just doesn’t like award shows. Besides, Lainey Wilson won everything anyway.
Meanwhile, the only performance that got panned online was Megan Moroney’s “6 Months Later,” and now it’s the only song from the show that’s not available online.
