Meet The Nominees For The 58th ACM Awards

• The Academy of Country Music announced the nominations for the 58th Academy of Country Music Awards, and HARDY leads this year’s class with seven nominations, including Song of the Year and Artist-Songwriter of the Year. HARDY shares three of his nominations with fellow artist and collaborator Lainey Wilson for their song, “Wait In The Truck.” Lainey Wilson also received the most nods for a female artist with six nominations, including Female Artist of the Year. She’s nominated in more categories than any other artist. Luke Combs, Kane Brown, and Cole Swindell follow HARDY with the second-most nominations for a male artist, with five total nods each. These are Kane Brown’s first-ever nominations for Entertainer and Male Artist of the Year.

The most-awarded artist in ACM history, Miranda Lambert, receives her record-breaking 17th Female Artist of the Year nomination, along with four other nominations. Lambert’s five nominations give her the opportunity to break more records following her Triple Crown Award presented at ACM Honors in the fall.

Here are the nominees in the three of the major categories: Entertainer Of The Year: Jason Aldean, Kane Brown, Luke Combs, Miranda Lambert, Chris Stapleton, Carrie Underwood, Morgan Wallen. Female Artist Of The Year: Kelsea Ballerini, Miranda Lambert, Ashley McBryde, Carly Pearce, Lainey Wilson.
