So happy for Lauren Alaina! I figured it would come down to her or Carly Pearce based on impact, but I'm so glad it was Lauren who won. <3 All three now get performance slots as well, per ACM Awards Twitter. It's a shame they'll probably be those little snippet performances that last like a minute before the cut to commercial. Yeah, Im figuring it will be that but I'm hoping it will be a bumper into a live acceptance speech....maybe too much, but I can always hope!

This woman did not say she's working on a new country album?! This is fantastic...but how dare the ACMs don't move mountains to get two queens to perform together. They have robbed us. It is probably more Dolly not wanting to do it than anything. It was also more a joke than anything. :)

Newly announced performers: Kane Brown, Kelly Clarkson, Alan Jackson, Little Big Town and Jon Pardi. Cam, Dustin Lynch, and Kiefer Sutherland are some of the presenters at the award show.

Huh. Kelly. Not opposed, but definitely a bit perplexed.
Ughhh, wish Cam could get some sort of performance slot, but obviously knew that wasnβt going to happen. Glad sheβll be there in some capacity anyways.

Huh. Kelly. Not opposed, but definitely a bit perplexed. Maybe she was asked to sing an album track from My December that just missed out on being nominated for Song of the Year at the 2018 ACMs.

Here is a link to the story on the new performers. theboot.com/2018-acm-awards-performances/Any idea what Kelly will perform? And any chance that Kane is performing What Ifs, so we could see Lauren twice?!?

I wonder if they ask Kelly to do her new single? Itβs a beautiful piano ballad, so maybe? It wouldnβt feel out of place on the show.

This was kind of a random tweet the other day but it does make me wonder.

(deserved to be another post I think) Reba will perform with Lauren Alaina on ACM Awards, as mentioned in HDD interview with Pete Fisher "Reba, who connected with Lauren Alaina by phone to tell her sheβs the Top New Female Vocalist, will perform with her on the show." hitsdailydouble.com/news&id=311275

Well it's not like she really has anything to promote right now. I'd love a solo performance from Reba because it's Reba, but realistically... she doesn't have anything that makes obvious sense. She could do "God & My Girlfriends," but I feel like the ship has sailed on that one. It is a little funny though that they stuck her with Kelsea Ballerini on the CMAs and now she's dueting with Lauren Alaina. I wonder what new female she'll grace with her presence next.

I know she doesn't have anything, but like you said, she's Reba. That's enough to warrant like twelve solo slots.

Good cus donβt forget Reba basically took that fifth slot from Lauren in the Female Category. Is there a red carpet online somewhere?

Yea Lauren on What Ifs!!
And also added to performers is Dan + Shay (!!!!), Chris Young and Darius Rucker.
I'm guessing the early success of Tequila is helping Dan & Shay get that performance slot.

I'm semi-stunned that Kane is performing "what ifs", good for Lauren, but with the success of heaven & it being his current single, I'm surprised that isn't the performance. Also looks like Keith and Blake will get multiple slots & also Reba...while hosting.

From that article, Dan + Shay, Chris Young and Darius Rucker are also performing. I wonder why there is no Chris Stapleton performance announcement yet. But man, the performers list is really long.

Unless something happens at the last possible minute, no. They do have a Jimmy Kimmel taping the day after, so there might still be hope. Wouldn't hold your breath though. (Sorry for the long post, mods)

Disappointed Kacey wasn't asked to perform... this would be a great platform to promote her album...

Given Chris is likely to need a truck to haul home all his awards, it'd be extremely awkward if he wasn't performing.

I wonder if it has anything to do with these being around the timeframe that Morgane and him would be expecting their twins. I, personally, wouldn't be surprised if he isn't at the show for this reason. He has always struck me as such a family man that the thought of missing the birth of his children would be too much to bare. Furthermore, I see he doesn't perform another show until late May. Would think this would be most viable reason if he doesn't perform/isn't even there.

why do they keep doing this let Alan sing on his own. he has a new single and album on the way sometime this year. let him sing it. not a song that was already a massive hit in the 90's with Jon Pardi. come on and yeah i do like Jon. but, this is dumb. im sick of them doing this.
