Yay Carly & Lee. I wonder how many songs have swept the ACM & CMA in that category, can't be that many! Update - first song to sweep the ACM/CMA awards in this category is We Were Us on 2014 Whiskey Lullaby swept a decade before

My picks for the show tomorrow.
Entertainer: Combs Male: Combs Female: Maren Group: Highwomen Duo: Brothers Osborne New Male Jimmie Allen ❎ New Female: Gabby ✅ Album: “Skeletons” Song “Bones” Single “I Hope” Video “Worldwide Beautiful” ❎ Vocal “I Hope You’re Happy Now” ✅
Check mark means I was right, “X” means I was wrong on the early categories.

I have a box of tissues on hand for Chris Stapleton’s performance of “Maggie’s Song” tomorrow night. Aside from that, I do have to say that I’m quite looking forward to this years ACM Awards considering that I thought last years show was miles better production wise in comparison to the CMAs.

Oh, and how about some predictions!
Entertainer: Eric Church Female: Miranda Lambert Male: Luke Combs Duo: Dan + Shay Group: Old Dominion (when did this category become so vanilla?) Album: Skeletons - Brothers Osborne Single: “The Bones” - Maren Morris Song: “The Bones”
I do think there’s some wildcards in the mix including Female Vocalist possibly going to Maren Morris; Duo to Brothers Osborne (actually somewhat expecting this); and lastly Album going to Chris Stapleton.

The people I am most looking forward to seeing perform tonight: Luke Combs, Eric Church, Miranda Lambert w/ Jack Ingram & Jon Randall, Chris Stapleton, and Thomas Rhett. It will also be interesting to hear Mickey Guyton (I don’t know the song she is singing), Alan Jackson (because he is just awesome), and Miranda w/ Elle King! I am sure there will be many great performances.
I better get the tissues ready for “Maggie’s Song”.

I know it was in September so not a year ago but it feels like we just had the ACMs.

Carrie & Brad will never be topped in terms of hosting. Even when their jokes got too corny at least they were attempting to make things exciting. Now these award show hosts all just do the same boring routine.

Old Dominion honestly makes the most sense. LBT hasn't had as much impact, and Lady A...yeah sure, give them Group of the Year after the summer of 2020 when Mickey Guyton is co-hosting. (I know that has likely blown over, but Twitter can just as easily dig it right back up) Kinda underwhelmed because I do love both Lady A and LBT but Old Dominion just had it, it seems.

I liked the Miranda Lambert and Elle King performance even if the chorus didn't quite feel as energetic as I was hoping. Chris Young and Kane Brown were pretty meh, and I actually kind of thought Kane Brown was better than Chris Young.
As for Group, not too shocking but really none of the nominees were exactly standouts this past year. Like Lady A had radio success but also loads of controversy, Little Big Town released an album but had minimal success, Old Dominion had a couple of singles that went nowhere, Cadillac Three is still WTF as a nom, and The Highwomen had critical acclaim. But none of the noms stood out imo this past year.

Did the lead singer of Old Dominion really thank the other band members for “being in his band”?! Weird way of phrasing that lol.

I”m thoroughly enjoying Thomas Rhett’s performance tonight. That might be a first.

I want to like "Country Again" more than I do but something about the song just doesn't quite click with me. It's a good song but I don't think Thomas Rhett is the right singer for it.
I will say live "What's Your Country Song" live is really good.

Miranda and her animal-loving self is the perfect replacement for the BGVs on "Maggie's Song." I love this song so much too--can someone pass the tissues?

I will never get how anyone can dislike Chris Stapleton, because he just pours his soul into his songs and him and Miranda Lambert together is pure country music perfection and I need them to collaborate asap

Lady A absolutely deserved group this year, they had a #1 in early 2020 and another song that kept climbing the rest of the year and was eventually another #1. The other groups didn’t even come close to that.
As far as their contreversy goes, they should have never changed their name to start with. No one had a problem with Lady Antebellum from 2008-2019, so there was no reason to ever change it.

Great performance from Chris & Miranda! I like how he traded the word “die” for “goodbye”. That line always felt harsh to me with “die” for some reason and it sounds better as “goodbye”.
