The 2023 Academy of Country Music Awards (ACM) is here.
The 58th annual awards ceremony, co-hosted by country legends Dolly Parton and Garth Brooks, is being held this year in Frisco, Texas. This will be Parton’s second time hosting the show and Brooks’ first time taking on the role.
Country artist HARDY is the main ACM nominee, while “Yellowstone” actress and singer-songwriter Lainey Wilson is close behind with six nominations.
Of Hardy’s seven nominations, there are two for Song of the Year: “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.
