“Ever since I was a little kid, I’ve watched my heroes accept CMA awards; to be nominated for four is an absolute honor!” Johnson said of his multiple nods. “I stand for a unique brand of authentic country music, and to see it being recognized on such a huge platform makes all the years of hard work worth it!”
The 2022 AMAs will air live from Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Nov. 20 at 8:00 PM ET. The show will air on ABC.
