The 50th anniversary ACM Awards will be the place to be in mid-April, and now, even more stars are getting in on the fun. Garth Brooks and Trisha Yearwood will host the "One Night, Two Cities, All Music" fundraising gala to benefit ACM Lifting Lives.
When you have Brett Eldredge, Thomas Rhett, Sam Hunt, Cole Swindell, Tyler Farr, Dan + Shay, Kip Moore and Chase Rice in the same category, it's a challenge to name a Top 3. But the fans have spoken, and the Academy of Country Music announced Wednesday (Feb. 18) that Hunt, Rhett and Swindell are the three final nominees for the 2015 ACM Award for New Artist of the Year.
Longtime country star Alan Jackson has been a fan-favorite singer for quite some time. But he isn't afraid to risk his popularity and take a stand for what he believes in -- even if it means going against what "the man" says. Taste of Country's newest You Think You Know Country video shares the stories behind Jackson's protests at the ACM Awards and CMA Awards in the '90s.
Luke Bryan is nominated for four ACM Awards at the upcoming 2015 ceremony, including the coveted Entertainer of the Year. But while the nod is already an honor, the fact that he's in the category with Garth Brooks makes it that much more meaningful.
Kenny Chesney took a bit of a risk by taking a year off the road to work on his latest album, 'The Big Revival,' but the reward has been huge. His song 'American Kids' has been nominated for four ACM Awards, for Song of the Year, Single Record of the Year (as artist and producer) and Video of the Year, and Chesney says he couldn't be happier with the nominations.
Chase Rice really wants your vote for New Artist of the Year at the 2015 ACM Awards -- so much so that he's stripped down for a hilarious video to get support.
The Band Perry are nominated for Vocal Group of the Year at the 2015 ACM Awards, and the sibling trio, who share the category with Lady Antebellum, Little Big Town, Rascal Flatts and Zac Brown Band, admit that they are still taking in their good fortune.
Miranda Lambert is up for an astonishing eight ACM Awards at the 2015 ceremony, which makes her the most-nominated artist this year. But while her nods include everything from Female Vocalist of the Year to Song of the Year (twice), and even the highest award of the night, Entertainer of the Year, Lambert remains humbled by all the accolades.
Lee Brice is still taking in his 2015 ACM Awards nomination for Single Record of the Year. The singer-songwriter is nominated for his touching tune, 'I Don't Dance,' the title track of his No. 1 album, which was released last year.
We all know that Tyler Farr has musical skills, but apparently he has some comedic skills as well. He's showing them off in his 'Farr Too Easy to Vote' videos, which parody a cute AT&T ad campaign and implore fans -- of all ages -- to vote for him in the New Artist of the Year category at the 2015 ACM Awards.
