Acadiana's own Hunter Hayes received 6 nominations this morning for the 48th annual Academy of Country Music Awards. Congrats from 97.3 the Dawg!

Nominees for the 2013 ACM Awards were announced Wednesday morning during a digital press conference at the ACM Facebook and Twitter pages. Eric Church leads his country peers with seven nominations, including Male Vocalist of the Year and Album of the Year. It's up to fans to decide who will be named Entertainer of the Year. Five artists -- including both ACM hosts -- are up for a chance to win th

Hunter Hayes is back with his second installment of his James Bond inspired ACM vote videos. Check out Hunter's latest video as the "international man of mystery" below.

Remember a few years ago that controversial yet crazily funny bit on Saturday Night Live called...ah, sorry, this is a country station's website. I'll just take your word that you have seen it.

Hunter Hayes and Kacey Musgraves lead the way for the newcomer nominees for the upcoming 48th Annual ACM Awards!

Reba has stepped down as host for the 2013 ACM Awards, and will let Blake Shelton handle the duties by himself (dangerous!).

Taylor Swift has done it again, y’all. Despite being the youngest name on the ballot for Entertainer of the Year at last night’s 2012 ACM Awards, Nashville’s Sweetheart took home the crown. Never one to leave her fans hanging, Swift paused backstage to make a sweet thank you video for all of her supporters.

It was another night full of Country Music Stars, country music, and red carpet appearances. It was the Academy of Country Music Awards.  Some of our favorite stars took the stage to claim awards and others to play their newest hits.  However, we weren't  shown Vocal Duo of the year on live T.V. But the good news is we got the video for you!

Big congrats to Taylor Swift! The country cutie was crowned Entertainer of the Year at the 2012 ACM Awards, marking her second consecutive win of the prestigious fan-voted award. Although she was the youngest nominee in the category, going up against country vets Jason Aldean, Kenny Chesney, Brad Paisley and Blake Shelton, Swift managed to get the most fan votes to win Entertainer of the Year once

Consider Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw‘s performance at the 2012 ACM Awards to be a preview of what’s to come this summer on the Brothers of the Sun Tour. The song ‘Feel Like a Rock Star’ is a duet recorded for Chesney’s new ‘Welcome to the Fish Bowl’ album, one that would surely sound great closing each show this summer.

Tonight at the 2012 ACM Awards, there were a few standout country stars, like Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood, whose attire really blew us away. These are our picks of the Best Dressed pictures from the show, which was held at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas. Scroll through the photos to see the most fashionable musicians who hit the red carpet at the 2012 ACM Awards.

It was three straight hours of back-to-back performances that barely left time for a bathroom break on Sunday night. The 2012 ACM Awards felt more like an all-star jam than an awards ceremony, not that anyone is complaining.

After a heated battle with other up-and-coming country artists, Scotty McCreery managed to garner the most fan votes to take home the Best New Artist trophy at the 2012 ACM Awards. McCreery, who has gone on to top the country charts with his debut album and single after hit single since winning season 10 of ‘American Idol,’ was absolutely overjoyed to be crowned the Best New Artist at the ACMs, an

Instead of shedding more tears to honor the passing of Earl Scruggs, Reba McEntire and Blake Shelton led a celebration of the bluegrass legend’s life during Sunday night’s ACM Awards in Las Vegas. After the crowd stood to applaud Scruggs, McEntire introduced Rascal Flatts and comedian turned banjo player Steve Martin to sing ‘Banjo.’

Toby Keith began his performance of his monster hit ‘Red Solo Cup’ while walking through the crowd at the 2012 ACM Awards tonight (April 1) with a  — you guessed it — red Solo cup in one hand and a microphone in the other. The singer roamed amongst the people for the course of the entire song, and most of the audience members were also holding their own disposable receptacles — aka the things that

We’ve followed the touching story of New Jersey high school senior and cancer patient Kevin McGuire since he first asked Taylor Swift to prom via Facebook, only to remain speechless when she instead invited him to be her date to the ACM Awards. Now, just days away from the big night, McGuire is getting more and more excited, while at the same time trying to keep his expectations realistic. Read Mo

It’s truly one of the sweetest stories, and now Martina McBride is giving the details behind the live wedding that’s going to take place onstage at the ACM Awards while the country songstress and Train frontman Pat Monahan sing a live version of McBride’s single ‘Marry Me.’ The ‘I’m Gonna Love You Through It’ singer says the whole wedding plan was actually her own (admittedly crazy) idea.

The famed ACM award got a redesign before the 2003 show in Las Vegas. Now, artists pick up a silver statuette attached to a black base. If you look down at the trophy, you’ll notice it’s shaped like a cowboy hat. Overall, the award is much heavier than one would imagine. Artists that win two or three certainly will have sore arms after an night of lugging their loot around Sin City.
