The 2023 Academy of Country Music Awards (ACMs) is here.
The 58th annual award show, co-hosted by country legends Dolly Parton and Garth Brooks, is held in Frisco, Texas this year. This will be Parton's second time hosting the show and Brooks' first time taking on the role.
Country artist HARDY is the leading nominee at the ACMs, while "Yellowstone" actress and singer-songwriter Lainey Wilson is right behind with six nominations.
Among Hardy's seven nominations are two in the song of the year category: "Wait in the Truck" and "Sand in My Boots," a song performed by Morgan Wallen and co-written by HARDY, Ashley Gorley and Josh Osborne.
Wallen did not attend the ACMs due to a health issue.
The star-studded event will feature performances from Parton, Ed Sheeran, Jason Aldean and Miranda Lambert.
