I love the evenness in the new artist nominees: three for New Group/Duo, four for New Female, and five for New Male. Really? Sadly on those, they have to “qualify”....i don’t think there was enough females or duo/groups that did.

If there was a 5th female artist and there was no qualifiers, they'd probably do Rachel Wammack and she peaked at #54 with "Damage". As for Duo and Group. I can't even think of 2 duos or groups to fill that spot.

That Kelsea snub is so terrible I'm almost impressed.
Also disappointed (but not surprised) by the Cry Pretty snub.

I think the Kelsea snub is by far the worst error by this nomination group. I don’t know how you miss the most played female of 2018 regardless of her label affiliation. Honestly, though besides that, I’m really pleased with the nominations. Although i don’t particularly like everything that got nominated, i think it does a good job showcasing the year.

Congrats to Jenee Fleenor so well deserved. Again, not enough new females or duo/groups met the criteria. What are the ACMs supposed to do? Change the criteria? They know more than 4 women exist, but only 4 made the criteria for the year. More of the blame should be placed on radio and labels for either ignoring, or not having enough Duo, Solo females, and groups to play. There are a lot less duos, groups, and solo females than their probably should.

Who did Kelsea piss off? That’s one hell of a snub.
EOTY sucks. This year’s noms feel bland as all hell. Will watch the clips for Kacey and hope that she wins everything she’s up for. The rest? Couldn’t care less.

I’m not surprised Pistol Annies didn’t get nominated, I think the Group category was spot on.

Can someone explain LoCash in Duo instead of Sugarland? Yea, I'm upset. Rag on me if you want, but I'm not hiding it.
Wow @ no Kelsea for Female, but happy for Ashley, she's very talented.
Where did the SOTY nod for Russell come from? Love the song, just very surprised. Still rooting for "Broken Halos", though.
And YAY for Lindsay Ell in New Female.
Also surprised that Sugarland nabbed a Video nomination for "Babe" when they missed out on Duo. I figured anything to do with that song was ineligible. Then again, neither the ACM or CMA play by their own rules.

And as I said, most played female of 2018.. She wasn’t going to win, but to not even nominate her discredits the whole category. She is CLEARLY one of the top five most worthy.

Wasn't Maren Morris the most played female? Between "Rich" and "I Could Use A Love Song" I think Maren Morris was played more.

Kelsea tweeted about it a few weeks back.

Not sure how they rationalize Ashley over Kelsea. It seems they use critically acclaimed when they feel like it. I much prefer Ashley’s music but really seems unfair to Kelsea or even Lauren or Carly who have seen more success the Ashley. Wouldn’t this mean Ashley would have to win new female artist since she is the only one in the grown up category as well. Also this makes Tenille’s choice as on the verge even more ridiculous I would think Ashley would have been the more obvious choice. I hated yours from the moment I heard it. I do not get the buzz for him at all but really there were so many more deserving songs. Last thought can Let it Be go away.

Obviously for PR reasons I understand why she’d delete the tweet, lol, but she...ain’t wrong. “Wow” is right. 😶

I love Miranda Lambert, but I don't see why she should be nominated. During the eligibility period she was 'featured' on "Drowns The Whiskey" and released "Keeper of the Flame" which didn't really do anything. Unless she is getting solo credit for Pistol Annies' album which I guess is possible, but in my head it's two separate entities. This isn't a few couple years ago when award shows truly needed to stretch to fill out the category... The ACMs should be ashamed that Kelsea Ballerini wasn't nominated.

Keep in mind Miranda had the sole headlining solo female tour last year. Carrie didn't tour, and Kelsea and Maren aren't headlining large tours yet. Kelsea was absolutely robbed, but aside from the ACM's love Miranda stuff, that's the justification for her nod.

The snubs of Kelsea Ballerini were beyond reprehensible and absolutely unconscionable.

When one award show blunders, the other usually bends over backwards to “show they are better”.
I look for Kelsea to have several nominations at the CMAs.
I wouldn’t be surprised if Kelsea doesn’t even attend the ACMs. You could argue Morgan got snubbed as well.

How sad that there wasn't even enough eligible "new" female artists to fill the category. What a mess.

Lol stan Twitter is a MESS rn. What the fuck happened between Luke and Miranda to make their fans hate each other? It’s getting ridiculous. Also, Kelsea was robbed, Miranda probably shouldn’t be nominated, and Entertainer is annoying.

I'm most disgusted at "Meant To Be" being nominated for Song of the Year. Single of the Year, sure.... Song, HELL NO. Kelsea absolutely deserved a nom for Female, and I don't even like her. Sugarland deserved a nom in Duo as well. These 3 things leave me feeling less than impressed about the nominations.
