The 60th Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards, set to stream live on Prime Video on May 8, 2025, will be hosted by Reba McEntire with performances by Blake Shelton, Eric Church, and Lainey Wilson among others. Ella Langley leads the nominations with eight nods, including Female Artist of the Year and several for her collaboration 'you look like you love me' with Riley Green. Simultaneously, the CMA Fest returns to Nashville from June 5-8, showcasing artists like Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean, and Cody Johnson across ten stages, with Nissan Stadium hosting the main acts. The CMA Fest will include both free and ticketed events, and its TV special will air on ABC and Hulu. Tickets for both events are available, with the ACM Awards taking place at the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas, marking a milestone as it returns to North Texas for the third consecutive year. The ACM Awards, established in 1966, continue to evolve, being the first major awards to livestream exclusively since 2022.
