Lady A will no longer appear at The 54th Annual CMA Awards tonight.
The trio made the announcement just one hour before “Country Music’s Biggest Night,” revealing that one of their immediate family members has tested positive for COVID-19. So far, the three of them have tested negative, however, out of caution, they have decided to stay at home.
