ACM Awards

With the ACM Awards approaching quickly, country music’s most beautiful artists — like Carrie Underwood, Martina McBride and Sara Evans — are learning what they need to do to squeeze into their dresses. It’s surely going to be a star-studded weekend in Las Vegas. Other artists maybe less concerned about their attire, like Hunter Hayes, have shared pictures of time spent with music legends this wee

I love the country music awards shows. It kinda gives me the frissons sometimes when I see those memorable performances or when a well-deserved artist receives an award.

Luke Bryan has been looking forward to this weekend for some time now. In addition to performing on the 2012 ACM Awards on Sunday night (April 1), Bryan will also take part in the special ‘Lionel Richie and Friends – In Concert’ taping set to take place the following night.

Hunter Hayes wrote a song for Little Big Town about childhood hunger awareness, and both will be featured at the ACM Awards this Sunday in Las Vegas.

Hunter Hayes wants to win the 2012 ACM Awards New Artist of the Year honor so bad that the singer and his digital promotion team recruited a quartet of super cute kittens to aid him in his quest and to emotionally blackmail you into voting. They’re preying on your inability to ignore rampant cuteness.

CBS’ afternoon talk show ‘The Talk’ is getting a bit of a country makeover — but only for one week. In honor of the 2012 Academy of Country Music Awards, the show, which stars hosts Sharon Osbourne, Julie Chen, Leah Remini and Sheryl Underwood, is going country. The hosts will invite a cast of celebrity country acts to come perform, co-host and, well, talk with them during the week leading up to t

Five artists are competing to be named Entertainer of the Year at the 2012 ACM Awards on April 1. Jason Aldean, Kenny Chesney, Taylor Swift, Brad Paisley and Blake Shelton have all had years worthy of the honor, but only one can bring the trophy home. Your votes will help decide the winner.

You can vote for the Academy of Country Music Entertainer of the Year and New Artist of the Year!

Yesterday (Feb. 23) we reported that Taylor Swift had received a prom invitation from New Jersey high school senior Kevin McGuire, who is currently battling cancer for the second time. On McGuire’s Facebook event page, which now has hundreds of thousands of fans, the teen’s older sister put out a plea asking the beautiful young starlet to take her brother to his high school prom, which coincidenta

Should Brantley Gilbert have to give an acceptance speech at the 2012 ACM Awards in April, he tells Taste of Country he’ll pretty much wing it. The singer says he won’t come prepared with notes, or a written list of thank yous.

Good news for Acadiana's own Hunter Hayes, he made the cut and is one of three finalist for the Academy of Country Music's New Artist of the Year.

Nominations announced for the 47th annual Academy Of Country Music Awards today!

Today the Academy of Country Music and Great American Country (GAC) unveiled the 2012 semi-finalists for the New Artist of the Year award, which consists of eight artists after the first round of professional voting. This year’s semi-finalist list includes Scotty McCreery, Brantley Gilbert, Hunter Hayes, Thompson Square, JT Hodges, David Nail, Jerrod Niemann and Justin Moore.

I think we all enjoyed the ACM Awards the other night, it was a night of great fun and great music. We got to laugh a lot with Reba and Blake Shelton cracking wise in their own special way. However, at our house the question did come up, "I wonder if any of the stars like to hit the casinos?" My answer was of course yes! But what stars and what games do they play? We have the answers! Re

Actually, it's hard to choose who was my favorite! I think it's so funny that almost everyone had a different outfit for the Red Carpet, their performance, and for the actual Awards-hey, if you got it, flaunt it.  And of course, a trophy is ALWAYS the best accessory

In case you missed parts or all of last night's Academy of Country Music Awards, well, first off, SHAME ON YOU! Hehe, just kidding. Here's some of our favorite clips of performances from the big show from Vegas:

I think this is really cool. We all know that every singer is actually a closet country music fan. Way to go, ACM's for an awesome pairing...I can't wait to see this tonight!

Wow. Isn't it great to be a Country Music fan? Some of our previous ACM Entertainer of the Year winners are now in the Country Music Hall of Fame- so, let's take a look back and see who the big winners were! And have fun watching the show tommorow night- Hooray for country music!

Congrats to the early winners! Watch the Academy of Country Music Awards this Sunday April 3 on CBS starting at 7:00 pm. We are proud to be COUNTRY MUSIC listeners!
