Ahead of "The 55th ANNUAL CMA AWARDS," airing TONIGHT (11/10) on ABC, winners in two categories were revealed this morning on the network's "GOOD MORNING AMERICA" (GMA).

Growing up in East TN, it’s a deeper kind of home. That’s what makes being part of #halfofmyhometown so special. I’m thrilled for Kelsea to have won Musical Event & Music Video of the Year! She couldn’t deserve it more & I’m honored to be a part of it. #cmaawards pic.twitter.com/itUiOwlezU
