Congrats to Ashley McBryde on her 3 CMA Award nominations for this year.

Ashley received nods in the categories of Song and Single Of The Year for her “One Night Standards.”

She also captured a nomination for Female Vocalist Of The Year. 

Ashley has won awards before, but she still thinks that having something prepared to say is bad luck. So, for her…winging it is Ashley’s style. “I think it’s bad luck to prepare and so I don’t. I prefer to wing it and I do know that my publicist prefers that I at least think it through because when I winged…I’ve said before that I’m a really nervous…like, spouter…so whatever is in my brain is something makes me nervous, I’m just going to spout that off.  I would be like pumpkins…pineapples – I might say the wrong thing.”

Well, have to wait until November 10^th to see if Ashley wings it – that’s when the 55th Annual CMA Awards will be handed out in Nashville, and you can catch it live on ABC.

Of course, you don’t have to wait at all to hear Ashley’s new song with Carly Pearce.

The two powerhouse female vocalists have joined forces on “Never Wanted To Be That Girl.” Check out the lyric video here…
