Reba McEntire is hosting the ACM Awards tonight.
This year, the ceremony comes with a twist as it is only available to watch through streaming on Amazon Prime Video. The pre-show for the broadcast will begin at 7 p.m. ET, before the main broadcast kicks off an hour later at 8 p.m.
Luke Combs leads the pack with eight nominations, including being up for Entertainer of the Year. His nods also brought a nomination for Tracy Chapman, who he collaborated on a cover of "Fast Car" with. This marks the singer's first-ever ACM Award nomination.
Combs is closely followed by Megan Moroney and Morgan Wallen, who each boast six nominations. They are both nominated for Female Artist of the Year and Male Artist of the Year, respectively.
Jelly Roll also bagged four nominations. The singer says that the acknowledgement is "just f---ing unbelievable." He is also set to take the stage with a performance.
ACM Awards Performers
The ACM Awards will feature performances from Kane Brown, Jelly Roll, Cody Johnson, Miranda Lambert, Thomas Rhett, Chris Stapleton, and Lainey Wilson as solo performers. Aside from her hosting duties, McEntire will also be taking the stage for a number.
Jason Aldean is set to honor late singer Toby Keith with a special tribute performance of "Should've Been a Cowboy."
The awards are also going to feature a series of duets from nominees, including collaborations by Kelsea Ballerini and Noah Kahan, Nate Smith and Avril Lavigne, and Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani.
