Stars Flock to Vegas For ACM Awards

Nashville invades Sin City this weekend for the 43rd Annual Academy of Country Music Awards. Reba McEntire will host Sunday's ACM broadcast for the tenth year in a row.

Kenny Chesney leads the pack in ACM nominations this year with 11 nods. He's up for the coveted Entertainer of the Year honor, as well as Top Male Vocalist and Song and Video of the Year for 'Don't Blink.' Rodney Atkins follows with six nominations, followed by Brad Paisley, Big & Rich and Sugarland with four nods apiece. George Strait (who celebrates his 56th birthday today) has three nominations, as do Taylor Swift and Miranda Lambert.

The night promises memorable performances. Strait will join Chesney onstage for a special duet of 'Shiftwork' -- the first time ever that the two will sing the song together live. Other scheduled performers include Garth Brooks, Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Dolly Parton, Sugarland, Toby Keith and Kellie Pickler, who will debut her new single, 'Don't You Know You're Beautiful.'

The ACM Awards ceremony will broadcast live on CBS from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas this Sunday at 8PM ET. We'll have complete coverage, including red carpet and backstage photos, recaps and more right here on The Boot.
