The Tenpenny nomination pisses me off. When awards are handed out he will have released six albums including an execrable "horny Christmas" album that's so bad that it should disqualify him from all awards in perpetuity.
Why not nominate best new artist with an eye toward history? Tenpenny's never gonna be a star, Bailey Zimmerman's horrific misogyny won't age well, and even Nate Smith's mother doesn't know who he is. In contrast, people will listen to Sierra Ferrell 40 years from now. Wyatt Flores will be huge soon, Kaitlin Butts is creative as hell. It's probably too early to nominate Lauren Watkins, Carter Faith, Maggie Antone and even Margo Cilker, but a guy can dream.
Speaking of nominating with an eye toward history, remember when Jimmie Allen won?

It’s all just infuriating! I wouldn’t listen to Morgan Wallen at gunpoint!
