The 43rd Annual Country Music Association Awards, hosted by Brad Paisley and Carrie Underwood, air 8 p.m. tonight on ABC.

The question on most fans' minds: Will teen sensation Taylor Swift win Entertainer of the Year?

She's the sole female nominee in the category, joined by a pack of male country music heavy-hitters. They are Kenny Chesney, Brad Paisley, George Strait and Keith Urban.

Swift made headlines when she recently hosted "Saturday Night Live," an episode some critics have called this season's best.
