She’s performing twice. Once with the group, and again solo. She said she’s “switching it up to something fun,” aka, no “Love Wins.” Hallelujah Does she have another song in the soundtrack for that movie? Because the interviewer said she was performing something from Breakthrough and the Carrie song featured in that film is "Love Wins." Also hmmm... 'switching it up to something fun' makes me think she'll be doing "Southbound" on the ACMs. That's the only song on the album that really fits that kind of statement.

The article I posted says “The artists, who are each featured on the film’s soundtrack will perform a special rendition of the song “I’m Standing With You,” while spotlighting ACM Lifting Lives”. Sorry if it wasn’t clear.

Sorry if it wasn’t clear. Thanks for clarifying. I didn't read the article you posted: I thought you were dropping that to suggest she'd only be singing 1 song and not have a solo performance as well. All has been cleared up now! I'm excited for both her performances, even more so now that I know neither of them will involve "Love Wins," lol.

Look Carrie and Miranda are great, but countries need to focus on only a couple women at a time isn't. Carrie and Miranda having multiple performance slots, while so few other women even have one isn't great for growing the base of popular country female performers.

Also Same goes for multiple performance slots for George Strait

Yes, of all the people to have issues with performances from, let's have an issue with George Strait...

The ACMs have to balance a lot of things and it’s not really their fault that women are underrepresented in country. While they could do more for women, I guess, it’s not like handing out performance slots to c-list women will change the culture of country music. Obviously I’d love to see more solo women slots, but I totally see why that isn’t the case. It’s not right and it’s not fair, but the ACMs are in it for ratings and money and unfortunately that won’t change; they’re always going to go with hot radio stars before unknowns and unfortunately that’s like 95% men...

Really does look like there won’t be any Kacey Musgraves performance. That sucks.

I will say that even as much as I'm looking forward to the George Strait performances, if you're asking me to choose between a second George performance and one solo performance by Ashley McBryde - I'm choosing the latter (now the 800 Aldean performances we're about to get :throwsup:)

I can only think Carrie and George doing more than 1. That’s 2 slots who could have gone to 2 more individual acts not performing.

Yeah, based on what I've seen from you in the past I figured it wasn't a dig against George specifically :) Personally, I am celebrating the multiple George performances, because tbh for somebody in their late 60s to be performing on the show at all regardless of gender is pretty much just as big of a deal, if not even moreso, than a female getting a performance slot. Let alone having multiple performances! For someone like him, this is a huge opportunity! Now, getting rid of multiple performances from modern male artists to make room for Kacey Musgraves, Lauren Alaina, Kelsea Ballerini, Maddie & Tae, etc? 100% here for it Overall, the gender dynamics here are the definition of shameful...

Also, I haven't been following the Artist of the Decade thing at all because #notmywinner, but is there any news about an Artist of the Decade show yet? Don't previous winners usually make an appearance to honor the new winner? I am actually quite intrigued to hear the likes of George Strait and Garth Brooks picking a Jason Aldean song to sing in his honor

I will say I am just happy to see artists like Lauren Alaina, Mickey Guyton, and Maddie & Tae on stage even if it is all together for 1 performance. Would a solo performance be better? Yes. But with these award shows I am grateful we even have them and I will take what I can get with them.

I’m starting to wonder if Kacey is even going to be at the show itself. She’s not performing, presenting and has not been to any of the events in Vegas this weekend at all when every other artist has been.
She’s also has not posted anything ACM related on her social media pages.

Do we know who’s opening? Maybe they’re going for a surprise opening with Kacey? I cannot fathom this show, where Kacey SHOULD walk away a major winner, without a performance from her... especially if she’s there. It just can’t be. PLEASE GOD!!!

...why would they not present Vocal Group? Maybe the ACMs felt like that category was such a foregone conclusion on who would win (Old Dominion) that they figured their was no stake or interest in seeing that category revealed. I wonder if anything would replace it or it is to also make room for the amount of performances they have.

Carrie, Miranda, Luke Combs, Kelly Clarkson, Jason Aldean are all performing more than once. Unless I’m misunderstanding what you wrote.

Because the ACMs are cheap...
Btw, last night I dreamed Kacey was performing Neon Moon on the show... so sad she's not performing =(
Now that it's pretty much confirmed she's attending, her lack of a performance slot seems even odder.

I still believe Kacey will be a surprise performance because the alternative is unfathomable.
