The 61st Academy of Country Music Awards are a little over a month away, and we now know who’s up for the big awards. Women dominate the nominations this year; Megan Moroney leads the pack with nine nominations, including Entertainer of the Year. Miranda Lambert got eight nods, and Ella Langley and Lainey Wilson got seven each.
This year’s edition marks a return to ACM’s longtime home of Las Vegas after three years spent in Texas. The ceremony will be held at the MGM Grand Arena, and performers include Kacey Musgraves, Little Big Town, and Miranda Lambert. No host has been announced yet.
At a Glance: Where to Buy Tickets to the ACM Awards
The ceremony will stream live exclusively on Prime Video, Twitch, and Amazon Music on May 17. Unlike many other award shows, the ACMs are open to the public. If you’re looking to attend live, tickets are available on AXS and start at $170 for the upper sections and about $600 for the middle sections. Floor seats, meanwhile, will set you back around $2,200. Resale tickets are available through AXS as well.
Artists up for album of the year are Zach Top, Carter Faith, Riley Green, Morgan Wallen, and Parker McCollum. Song of the year nominees, meanwhile, include Miranda Lambert & Chris Stapleton, Megan Moroney, Ella Langley, Zach Top, and Lainey Wilson.
It’s undeniable that Moroney, whose other nominations include nods for best song, best single, and best artist-songwriter, has had a huge few years. Her latest album, Cloud 9, peaked at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 when it was released in February. Rolling Stone wrote of the album at the time, “But what sets Cloud 9 apart from its predecessors is that, underneath the pastel-pink hues and prom-queen problems that define it, there’s newfound emotional complexity.”
Dick Clark Productions is owned by Penske Media Corp., which is also the parent company of Rolling Stone.
