I hope it means she's hosting. I love how she's coming around more and more. Hope it indicates some music is coming soon.

Her being the one announcing the nominees gives me great confidence that sheβs going to be the one returning to host, too. Ever since she began cohosting, and then eventually lost the gig to Blake/Luke/Dierks, the showβs quality has taken a painful sharp turn downward. Bringing Reba back could be a smart way for them to bill it almost as a βreturn to their rootsβ kind of thing.
That being said, I still think the show will take heat this year because thereβs no shot a woman is getting into EOTY, and Iβm sure thatβll cause an uproar for people who are casual listeners, and not avid followers like the folks on here.

Here are my predictions for the nominees.
Entertainer: Jason Aldean Luke Bryan Florida Georgia Line Thomas Rhett Eric Church
Male: Jason Aldean Luke Bryan Thomas Rhett Chris Stapleton Eric Church
Female: Carrie Underwood Miranda Lambert Maren Morris Kelsea Ballerini Reba McEntire or Carly Pearce or Lauren Alaina (odds say Reba McEntire but I am hoping for the other 2)
Duo: Brothers Osborne LoCash Florida Georgia Line Big & Rich High Valley
Group: Lady Antebellum Little Big Town Midland Old Dominion Rascal Flatts
Album: Lady Antebellum Heart Break Chris Stapleton Volume 1 Little Big Town The Breaker Midland On The Rocks Thomas Rhett Life Changes
Single: Body Like A Backroad Dirt On My Boots Better Man Craving You In Case You Didn't Know
Song: Tin Man Better Man In Case You Didn't Know Every Little Thing Drinkin Problem
New Female Artist: Lauren Alaina Carly Pearce Raelynn (that's it I think as you have to hit the Top 40 and I'm not even sure Lauren Alaina counts as she is on her second album and I don't know if radio will count her)
New Male Artist: Devin Dawson Walker Hayes Luke Combs Dylan Scott Kane Brown
New Duo or Group: Midland Runaway June High Valley Walker McGuire LoCash? (do they still count as I am struggling to get to 5 with this one)
Vocal Event: Craving You The Fighter What Ifs God Your Mama and Me Speak To A Girl

I am wondering whether Chris Stapleton will have two nominations on Album field because both From A Room albums are released within last year, and they performed well on charts and critics.

Ideally the two albums would cannibalize each other in voting and neither of them would make it! Edit: Not gonna happen, I know. My prediction would be that he only gets nominated for one of them though.

But Body Like A Backroad isn't a well written song and Female is a damn mess in terms of writing. 4 nominees?

I have so many questions already! Why only 4 nominees?! Why would "Whiskey and You" from 2015 get nominated?! What in actual f*** ACM's?! There were definitely enough songs to be nominated this year. Bizarre. I'm afraid for the other nominations.

It wasn't even a single for Chris...and it is from a 2015 album...

Would have loved to have seen Lauren in female.
But Chris Young?? I would have rather seen Dustin Lynch.

Dear God. I just saw the song of the year nominees.
That is TERRIBLE. I'm almost rooting for Sam Hunt there.....so many good songs from this past year, and these are the four?
Brett Young? Carly Pearce? seriously.

Duo nothing shocking although I would've proffered High Valley in over say LoCash or Tim & Faith, but I understand why.
Vocal Group. Shocked that LANco got in. Thought for sure Rascal Flatts would get in.
Male. Besides Chris Stapleton and to an extent Thomas Rhett the rest of these noms suck.
Entertainer of the Year. Please be Chris Stapleton
Female. I get why all 5 are nominated but I am so annoyed that Lauren Alaina couldn't score a nomination especially since she had 2 #1 hits. I would've swapped out Carrie Underwood or heck even Kelsea Ballerini or even Miranda Lambert over Lauren Alaina.
As for Reba McEntire hosting. Eh. Don't care either way.
