跟进：罗德尼·阿特金斯称与妻子同遭CMA拒走红毯，两人决定缺席11月18日颁奖礼
第60届CMA乡村音乐奖将于11月18日在美国田纳西州纳什维尔市的普利司通体育馆（Bridgestone Arena）举行。继90年代乡村歌星萨米·克肖（Sammy Kershaw）11月5日发帖称被拒走红毯后，乡村歌手罗德尼·阿特金斯（Rodney Atkins）11月7日在Instagram发布视频和书面声明称，他和妻子、歌手罗斯·法尔肯（Rose Falcon）同样没有拿到红毯许可，两人已经决定不参加今年的颁奖礼。
阿特金斯在视频里说：「看来萨米·克肖和我今年有了一件共同的事，我们俩都没获准走CMA颁奖礼的红毯。听到萨米的事时我还想，太可惜了，他是个大好人，一个用一辈子代表乡村音乐的歌手。后来我发现，同样的事也落到了我头上。」他说，自己一向觉得自己像个「局外人」，多少能理解这个决定，但成绩应该自己会说话：他正迎来巡演生涯最好的一年，新单曲《The Years Are Short》有望成为他第三个十年里打进排行榜的歌。
他在随视频发布的书面声明中写道，新专辑《True South》进了CMA年度专辑奖的第二轮投票；据乡村电台数据机构Country Aircheck统计的过去20年播放量最高的100首乡村歌里，他有3首进前50名，代表作《Watching You》排在第11位。但他写道：「做了20多年CMA会员、在数不清的CMA音乐节上免费演出之后，我和罗斯还是和萨米·克肖一样，被拒绝了红毯许可，所以我们决定不参加今年的CMA颁奖礼。」夫妇两人都是CMA的投票会员，与协会打交道超过20年。
阿特金斯还写道，像克肖这样帮乡村音乐打下根基的艺人，应该在它的庆典里有一席之地，「乡村音乐永远不该忘了自己的根」。据乡村媒体Country Rebel报道，电台主持人Bobby Bones连发两条视频谈这件事，称这是CMA的一场「公关灾难」。本届颁奖礼由兰尼·威尔逊（Lainey Wilson）主持、11月18日晚举行。截至发稿，美国乡村音乐协会（CMA）仍未公开回应克肖与阿特金斯两人的帖子。

Follow-Up: Rodney Atkins Says He and His Wife Were Also Denied the CMA Red Carpet; Both Will Skip the November 18 Awards
The 60th annual CMA Awards will be held on November 18 at Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, Tennessee. After 1990s country star Sammy Kershaw posted on November 5 that he had been denied the red carpet, country singer Rodney Atkins revealed in an Instagram video and written statement on November 7 that he and his wife, singer Rose Falcon, were denied red-carpet clearance as well, and that the couple has decided not to attend this year's ceremony.
In the video, Atkins said: 'Well, apparently Sammy Kershaw and I got something in common this year. Neither one of us got approved to walk the CMA Awards red carpet. When I heard about Sammy, I thought, what a shame. He's a great guy, a sweetheart of a dude, a singing dude who spent his life representing country music. Then I found out the same thing happened to me.' He said he has always felt 'kind of an outsider' and can partly understand the decision, but that his record should speak for itself: he is having the best touring year of his career, and his new single 'The Years Are Short' could give him charting songs in three different decades.
In the written statement posted with the video, Atkins noted that his latest album, True South, reached the second round of CMA voting for Album of the Year, and that three of his songs made Country Aircheck's list of the 100 most-played country songs of the last 20 years, with 'Watching You' at No. 11. 'After more than 20 years as a CMA member and countless CMA Fests I've played for free, Rose and I were denied red-carpet clearance, just like Sammy Kershaw,' he wrote. 'So we've decided not to attend this year's CMA Awards.' Both Atkins and Falcon are CMA voting members and have been involved with the association for more than 20 years.
Atkins added that artists who helped build the foundation of country music, like Kershaw, deserve a place in its celebrations: 'Country music should never get above its raisin'.' According to country outlet Country Rebel, radio host Bobby Bones posted two videos about the snubs and called the episode a 'PR disaster for the CMAs.' This year's ceremony, hosted by Lainey Wilson, takes place on the evening of November 18. As of publication, the Country Music Association has not publicly responded to either Kershaw's or Atkins's posts.
