60th Academy of Country Music Awards Nominees Announced

The nominees for the 60th Academy of Country Music Awards have been announced, with Ella Langley leading with eight nominations, followed by Lainey Wilson, Cody Johnson, and Morgan Wallen, each with seven. The awards ceremony will be hosted by Reba McEntire and will stream live on Prime Video on May 8, celebrating six decades of country music. Key categories include Male and Female Artist of the Year where notable nominees like Luke Combs and Kelsea Ballerini are competing. Noteworthy is the exclusion of Beyoncé, who received Grammy awards for her country album but was not nominated for the ACMs, raising questions about industry recognition. Performances at the event will feature stars like Blake Shelton and Eric Church alongside the nominees. Fans can also enjoy an official ACM Awards playlist available on Amazon Music.
