2014 Academy Of Country Music Awards Nominees Announced
The 49th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards are Sunday, April 6th live from Las Vegas! Blake Shelton and Luke Bryan are hosting again and it's sure to be a party!
The nominees for the ACM's were announced Wednesday morning. Miranda Lambert and Tim McGraw lead all nominations with seven a piece!
I am SO excited about my girl Miranda being nominated for Entertainer of the Year. It's been a long time coming! There are a couple of surprises that really caught my attention! (I had no clue Sheryl Crow was even considered country, much less a female vocalist of the year possibility?!?)
