The nominees have been revealed for the 57th Academy of Country Music Awards.
The ACM Awards, hosted by Dolly Parton alongside Jimmie Allen and Gabby Barrett, will take place at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on March 7, and will exclusively stream on Prime Video.
Allen and Barrett announced select nominees this morning (Feb. 10) on the ACM official Twitter account. Both nabbed nominations for the Male and Female Artist of the Year categories, respectively.
Leading the ACM nominees this year is Chris Young with seven nominations including for Album of the Year and Single of the Year. He shares three of his nominations with fellow artist and collaborator Kane Brown for their hit “Famous Friends.”
Miranda Lambert receives a record-tying 16th Female Artist of the Year nomination (tied with Reba McEntire), as well as four other nominations. Walker Hayes, a first-time nominee, also receives five nominations; as does Chris Stapleton, including his fourth nod for Entertainer of the Year and his seventh for Male Artist of the Year.
Jordan Davis, Shane McAnally, Josh Osborne, Carly Pearce, Carrie Underwood, and Morgan Wallen each receive four nominations.
Notably, there are women nominated in every single eligible main awards category this year. Female pulled in 37% of nominations this year, compared to an average of 35% in the past 5 years.
Stapleton, Lambert and Luke Combs are nominees for Entertainer of the Year. A win for either artist in that category will also clinch the coveted Triple Crown Award, which consists of an Entertainer of the Year win, plus wins in an act’s respective New Artist (male, female, or duo or group) and Artist (male, female, duo or group) categories.
Lambert and Kelsea Ballerini both receive nominations as producers for the first time, while Nicolle Galyon receives her first Songwriter of the Year nomination. Galyon has previously been nominated for three ACM Awards, winning two, and is the second woman to be nominated for Songwriter of the Year.
Marking a year of collaborations, all videos nominated for Video of the Year are collaborations for the first time in ACM Awards history.
Overall, this year’s nominations include 31 artists and industry creators receiving their first-ever ACM Awards nominations. Cameron Bartolini, Brandon Bell, Ryan Byrd, Priscilla Block, Alexa Campbell, Jacob Davis, Paul DiGiovanni, Jacob Durrett, Kat Higgins, Walker Hayes, Ryan Hurd, Adam James, Josh Jenkins, Matt Jenkins, Billy Justineau, Viktor Krauss, Blake Lively, Todd Lombardo, Josh Matheny, Jason Nix, Kathy Palmer, Lily Rose, Elvie Shane, Caitlyn Smith, Jonathan Singleton, Wesley Stebbins-Perry, Shane Stevens, James Stratakis, Austin Swift, Joe Thibodeau and Lainey Wilson all receive their first ACM Award nomination.
