I didn't really think anything of it. . Part of me wonders if they weren't invited to perform, but they've been flying under the radar lately, so I wouldn't be surprised. Plus, their tour starts back up the next week (May 1st), so I also wouldn't be surprised if they declined an invitation to perform because the show is so close to their tour launch. I don't think a performance on the show would boost their profile much anyway, though. (I don't mean this as a diss, I love 'em).

Why would they pick Red? It has had one country hit. It's pretty pop to me.

That would be amazing, and very justified. Fingers crossed! My predictions: Entertainer: Taylor Swift or Luke Bryan Male Vocalist: Blake Shelton Female Vocalist: Miranda Lambert, although I'd like to think Carrie wins being the most deserving nominee this year, and all that... Album: "Chief" or "Blown Away" - they've been pretty good to Carrie in this category all things considered, and I think the competition is light enough to possibly give Carrie the win. With that said, I think Eric takes this. The rest of my predictions line up pretty well with "Country Weekly's," so I'll save myself the typing.

lol I love this April Fools changing Swift's name to Linda Ronstadt. If Linda won Entertainer of the year in 2013 for real, I think Nashville would implode! Especially since she hasn't had a hit since the 80s!

Due to the prank of the board, I can't edit. It gives me an error about the board not existing. If mod's can do so for me, that would be great. Otherwise I apologize, I intended to edit these into the original post.
.@blakeshelton @pistolannies @mirandalambert @lukebryanonline @sherylcrow @bradpaisley to perform Boys Round Here to OPEN with a few seconds of "Girls Round Here"
About Kelly's guest: They contacted Vince & someone else. They won't say who it is.
.@dierksbentley, @hunterhayes, @pistolannies, @carrieunderwood, @lukebryanonline, @blakeshelton @mirandalambert @bradpaisley in 1st hour
-- Interesting tidbits:
I can't find the tweet but they tweeted in 2015 the award show will done in Dallas and returning to Vegas the following year.
The @acmawards may extend to week long festival like CMA Fest after 2016 when return to #vegas

THE 2013 ACM AWARDS OFFICIAL DRINKING GAMEWhenever Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert, or the Pistol Annies come on stage for any reason, whether it be to perform, present, accept an award, to host, or to merely walk across the back of the stage every so often since it seems as though the ACMs would drink their blood if they had the opportunity, you must take one shot! Any form of vodka or tequila is acceptable. At the end of the show, all participants must type one 8-sentence paragraph explaining your brief thoughts on the show. Whoever's paragraph is most misconstrued and grammar-poisoned wins! Let's get some pre-game preparation going by counting how many shots, minimum, we will all be taking: . @blakeshelton @pistolannies @mirandalambert @lukebryanonline @sherylcrow @bradpaisley to perform Boys Round Here to OPEN with a few seconds of "Girls Round Here" 1-2-3! .@dierksbentley, @hunterhayes, @pistolannies, @carrieunderwood, @lukebryanonline, @blakeshelton @mirandalambert @bradpaisley in 1st hour 4-5-6! . @blakeshelton, @pistolannies, @mirandalambert to perform together 7-8-9! . kelly🌷💞_clarkson to perform Don't Rush on @acmawards... with surprise guest not yet named. About Kelly's guest: They contacted Vince & someone else. They won't say who it is. My money's on Blake Shelton or Miranda Lambert! Who else?!

Sounds fun, I'm in!... although it might be necessary to have a stomach pump handy! Or at least have someone with you sober enough to dial 9-1-1 in the event you may need medical attention due to heavy intoxication. To stay on topic, I'm mostly looking forward to Carrie's performance as well as the Garth/George duet - that should be pretty iconic!

I really really wish REBA would perform, there is still hope...right? Typically, only nominated artists and artists promoting new music perform at these functions. She is unfortunately in neither of those categories, so her chances of performing are slim. With that said, I certainly wouldn't mine a surprise performance from Reba. I'm always down to watch Reba show all the others how it's done.

Jewel Partners With ACM Lifting Lives® To Raise Awareness Of Child Hunger In The U.S. During Special Moment On The 48th Annual Academy Of Country Music Awards Sunday, April 7 On CBS Television Network ACM Lifting Lives Moment to Feature Jewel's Performance of "Hands" and "Fill a Heart," an Original Song Written by Tori Kelly to Benefit ConAgra Foods' Child Hunger Ends Here Campaign CHEAT TWEET: .@jeweljk performing "Hands" & @torikelly's #FillAHeart song at @acmawards for #LiftingLives Moment raising awareness for @childhungerends Press Release: The Academy of Country Music – 22 hours ago Email RecommendTweet1 Print RELATED QUOTES Symbol Price Change CAG 35.673 0.05 ENCINO, Calif., April 1, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- The Academy of Country Music announced today that Jewel will partner with ACM Lifting Lives® to perform a live mash-up of her chart-topping hit "Hands" combined with "Fill a Heart," an original song written by singer-songwriter Tori Kelly. This special musical moment, presented by ConAgra Foods' Child Hunger Ends Here campaign, will be performed at the 48th ANNUAL ACADEMY OF COUNTRY MUSIC AWARDS, to be broadcast LIVE from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, Sunday, April 7, 2013 at 8:00PM, live ET/delayed PT on the CBS Television Network. Kelly, who wrote "Fill a Heart" for the Child Hunger Ends Here campaign to bring the story of hunger to life, will introduce the powerful 2013 ACM Lifting Lives moment with Jewel to viewers. This year's ACM Lifting Lives show moment with Jewel marks the fifth consecutive year of moving performances, which have highlighted worthy causes and provided support on behalf of their beneficiaries during the live Awards telecast. Jewel experienced significant hardship in her early years prior to embarking on a successful career as a singer-songwriter and selling over 27 million albums worldwide. Without a place to call home, there were times when she wasn't sure where she would spend the night or find her next meal. This experience provided the inspiration for her hit song "Hands," a song about desperate times and not losing hope. "I'm so honored to perform this year's ACM Lifting Lives moment and support ConAgra Foods' Child Hunger Ends Here campaign. It's an important cause I hold near and dear to my heart, and this is a wonderful way to give back and raise awareness. Tori wrote such a beautiful song, and I hope it serves as a wakeup call to everyone about how widespread a problem this is in the United States," said Jewel. "The Academy has been dedicated to improving lives through the power of music for forty years, and this is the fifth year we've included an ACM Lifting Lives moment in the ACM Awards. We are proud to partner once again with ConAgra Foods to bring together a memorable performance to viewers at home, and remind them about some serious issues that Americans face on a daily basis," said Hannah Martin, Manager, ACM Lifting Lives. "It's an honor to have Jewel and Tori contribute their talents to this cause, and to help raise awareness for the nearly 17 million children who live in food insecure homes today." ACM Lifting Lives, the charitable arm of the Academy, is spotlighting the need to end child hunger in conjunction with ConAgra Foods, which in partnership with the ConAgra Foods Foundation has been fighting to end child hunger in America for 20 years. To participate in ConAgra's Child Hunger Ends Here program, consumers can purchase specially-marked packages of select ConAgra Foods brands, including Banquet®, Hunt's®, Marie Callender's®, PAM®, Chef Boyardee®, Orville Redenbacher's®, Manwich®, Snack Pack®, or Peter Pan® Peanut Butter, and then visit www.ChildHungerEndsHere.com to enter the eight-digit code found on participating product packages. For each code entered through August 2013, ConAgra Foods will donate the monetary equivalent of one meal* to Feeding America. Consumers can also download their favorite version of Tori Kelly's "Fill a Heart" from Cody Simpson and Amber Riley on the website to share with others and inspire action for the cause. "Child hunger is a problem we cannot ignore," said Chris Sinta, Director of Consumer Promotions at ConAgra Foods. "We're excited to continue our partnership with the Academy of Country Music and we're honored to have Jewel sing 'Fill a Heart.' Together, we can help make a difference." For more information on how to join the fight against child hunger and how to participate in the ConAgra Foods' Child Hunger Ends Here campaign, please visit www.childhungerendshere.com. * For every code entered by 8/31/13, ConAgra Foods will donate 12.5¢, the cost for Feeding America to provide one meal through its network of local food banks. Maximum: 3 million meals. Guaranteed minimum donation: 1 million meals ($125,000). Limit 5 code entries per person/computer each day. Valid in U.S. only.

LOL @ this drinking game. Sounds like fun, but substitute the shots with more opportunities to make intense jabs at today's state of music and I'm game. ;)

I saw an ad asking people to vote for Taylor for Entertainer of the year on VH1 this morning haha Solidifying why the CMA Entertainer of the Year Award is about a thousand times more prestigious than the ACM one. If it's the biggest award of the night, it shouldn't be on the same level as the Best New Artist award. Keep it industry voted. Not really a big deal or anything, but (just to clarify) there is no such commercial. I'm guessing they saw a commercial telling people to vote for EOTY? Taylor only has her FYC video, but that is just on Youtube.

I've never been behind the idea of having the largest award for an otherwise-100% industry-voted awards show to be partially fan-voted. It kind of defeats the purpose to me, and I've always felt that way, even though Carrie's won the award twice.

PerezHilton.com is reporting that country music superstar Shania Twain will return to the Academy of Country Music Awards on Sunday to present the night’s top honor, the Entertainer of the Year Award. Twain last appeared on the telecast in 2007 when she presented the coveted award to Kenny Chesney.

I'm legitimately shocked that I've now seen two major websites' predictions listing Carrie as a pegged winner. She's clearly the most sensical winner, to many at least. But the voters are rarely the most sensical people, so I'm not expecting anything... but these predictions do provide a glimmer of hope!

For what it's worth, People Magazine had Miranda Lambert as their prediction for Female Vocalist. But I really hope that those suspecting Carrie are correct. I love Miranda, but I think Carrie's the most deserving of the trophy this time around.

I'm legitimately shocked that I've now seen two major websites' predictions listing Carrie as a pegged winner. I don't think either of these websites have any ties to people within the industry (ie, the people who vote for these shows), so I think their guesses are really just as good as yours and mine are. Taste of Country in particular doesn't strike me as much of a source. It's basically just one guy who was formerly with radio, and he writes reviews that, well, aren't very good. They cover some silly news stories from time to time and there are a couple of other 'writers' that help out there but I don't think Taste of Country has a better grasp on things than some of us wickedly awesome Pulse people do ;)
