As previously announced, Brett Eldredge, Tyler Farr, Sam Hunt, Kip Moore, Thomas Rhett, Chase Rice, Cole Swindell, and Dan + Shay are the semi-finalists for this year’s ACM New Artist of the Year Award. These top eight (8) artists from the first round of ACM professional voting will compete via fan vote at VoteACM.com and voteacm.CMT.com, combined with the ACM professional membership vote, to determine the three nominees for the award. An additional combined fan and professional membership vote will determine the winner.

Miranda Lambert earned eight nominations, including her forth nomination for Entertainer of the Year and ninth consecutive nod for Female Vocalist of the Year, with additional nominations for Album of the Year, plus Single Record of the Year and twice for Song of the Year, as artist and songwriter, for “Automatic.” Her nominations continue with Video of the Year and Vocal Event of the Year for “Somethin’ Bad” with Carrie Underwood.  Lambert is the reigning ACM Female Vocalist of the Year.

Dierks Bentley received seven nominations, including Male Vocalist of the Year, Album of the Year for Riser, Single Record of the Year and Video of the Year for “Drunk On A Plane.” In the category for Song of the Year, Bentley is nominated twice for “I Hold On,” as artist and songwriter.  Bentley is also nominated for Vocal Event of the Year with The Cadillac Three, Florida Georgia Line and Mike Eli for “The South.”

IMPORTANT NOTE:  Awards counts for artists reflect categories in which they have been recognized as individuals or as part of their duo or group. In some cases, an artist may receive more than one nomination which factors into their official count. For example, Kenny Chesney received two nominations in the Single Record of the Year category—one each as artist and producer—because that category recognizes both.

Award recipients in each category are noted above parenthetically in the Album of the Year, Single Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Video of the Year and Vocal Event of the Year.

just curious. Why didn't Shania receive a milestone award at the ACM awards last night?!?? Taylor Swift, Garth Brooks, Reba and a few others did. Just seems a little silly to me!

Not being sarcastic. But what milestone award does she deserve? She has not released any new music or albums in YEARS. She had her Vegas gig. She does not tour. She is not a current artist and has not been since the early 2000's......

Just curious....I know this sounds very far fetched...do you think Mutt is black balling her to a certain point...maybe dropping hints to the music executives that he had a bigger role than he really did when it came to her success. I know that if Shania had never met Mutt, chances are we would not even been having this discussion, but do be fair to Shania, it wasn't Mutt out their performing, etc. I think that Shania is not totally comfortable anymore with the Country Genre, and hasn't been since the "Woman in Me."

Hi,

No I don't think Mutt would black ball her.  Why should he care?  They both played a part in her success.  I think we will realize what a different artist she is without his influence.  Listen to her early stuff that she has always said she did not really feel was a the caliber of music that she was capable of creating.  Artists grow in their abilities and I think she has by working with him for so many years but it will be very different.  I also think that people do not give Shania enough credit for her intelligence about the industry.  I mean watch the behind the scenes Vegas stuff.  She was in on every little detail of that.  She hired all the right people and did all the planning.  She is very much a woman who knows how to accomplish goals and has the intelligence to mastermind her career wherever she wants it to take her. She has the power to back herself now and she knows it.  Mutt has no more influence over the music industry than she does.  Yes he's a great producer but what is a producer without an artist to perform the productions???  Artists can produce themselves if they chose but Mutt can't be an artist at this point... maybe had he chosen to perform with Def Leppard when he was producing them he could have become famous as a singer.  But Shania is the star of the two and she has the intelligence to produce her own stuff if she choses.  Mutt can't go back and create himself as an artist in the sense that Shania has.  She can stop performing and produce for other artists now if she wants...I'm sure she learned tons from Mutt about all that.  I honestly don't think Mutt cares what she does at this point as long as she is being a good mother to their son and that is all that matters to him in regards to Shania at this point.  He's busy with producing for others I'm sure.

Just my thoughts

Warmest regards as always,

Tonto
