Ahead of the event, the country music singer made a cheeky request to organizers, revealing they could make her birthday on Thursday extra special this year by giving her an award. Miranda is nominated for Album of the Year (Palomino), Entertainer of the Year, and Female Vocalist of the Year.

Win or lose, Miranda will no doubt be supported by her husband Brendan McLoughlin, who often accompanies his wife to award ceremonies, and we expect the CMAs will be no different.
The 56th Annual CMA Awards, hosted by Luke Bryan and Peyton Manning, will air live from Nashville on Wednesday, November 9 on ABC.
