The 2025 CMA Awards<\/a> took Nashville by storm this week, crowning new winners and welcoming fresh faces. In this special bonus episode of Rolling Stone<\/em>\u2019s Nashville Now<\/em> podcast, we break down the good, the bad<\/a>, and the \u201cwhat were they thinking?!\u201d Country music journalist Marissa R. Moss joins host Joseph Hudak to heap praise, talk smack, and question if the country music establishment finally got it right.<\/p>\n For instance, did Lainey Wilson deserve to win<\/a> the top prize of Entertainer of the Year? \u201cHell yes,\u201d Moss says. \u201cI think she\u2019s a great entertainer. Everybody knows who Lainey Wilson is now. She brought country music into a lot of different living rooms, which is the whole point.\u201d<\/p>\n More from Rolling Stone<\/strong><\/p>\n Wilson also took an opportunity to jab at online commentators, their hands deep in a bag of Cheetos, desperate to pit women against one another. \u201cY\u2019all need to find something better to do,\u201d Wilson said.<\/p>\n \u201cBecause [Wilson is] successful doesn\u2019t take away from the success of other women. Country music does get really preoccupied with only anointing one or two women at a time as far as country radio goes,\u201d Moss says. \u201cBut that is not Lainey Wilson\u2019s fucking problem.\u201d<\/p>\n Download and subscribe to\u00a0Rolling Stone<\/em>\u2019s weekly country-music podcast,\u00a0Nashville Now<\/em>, hosted by senior music editor Joseph Hudak, on\u00a0Apple Podcasts<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0<\/a>Spotify<\/a>\u00a0(or wherever you get your podcasts).
