    The nominations for this year’s ACM Awards have been announced and the reigning Male Artist of the Year Chris Stapleton leads the list (ties with Dan + Shay) with six nods, including Entertainer of the Year. He is also nominated twice, as both artist and producer, for Album of the Year for From A Room: Volume 2, which he won last year for From A Room: Volume 1. Plus, he’s nominated for Song of the Year twice, as both artist and songwriter, for “Broken Halos.” He’s also up for Male Artist of the Year. He’s won numerous awards over the past few years, and while he’s grateful for every single trophy he takes home, he has a special affinity for the Album categories.

    “They are all significant and if you get one award for anything it’s a treat. But any of the awards that awarded the album, the album awards, because I really wanted to make an album that was good,” says Chris. “I wanted that to be a thing, again, more than I wanted it to be, ‘Well here’s the single and eight other songs.’ So, the album awards for me were important in that we did our job in a good way, you know. Just I have such an affinity for albums that I don’t know if I want those more or if they mean more, but they are all meaningful.”

    Kacey Musgraves earned five nominations in three categories, including a nod for Female Artist of the Year. Additionally, she is nominated in the Album of the Year Category twice, as both artist and producer, for Golden Hour, as well as in the Song of the Year category twice, as both artist and songwriter, for “Space Cowboy.” Kacey, who took home four Grammy Awards a couple of weeks ago, most recently won an ACM in 2016 in the Video of the Year category for “Forever Country” and previously won in the Album of the Year category in 2013 for Same Trailer Different Park.

    Dierks Bentley received four nominations, including his fourth nod for Album of the Year for The Mountain. Dierks is also nominated for “Burning Man” (featuring Brothers Osborne) in both the Music Event of the Year category and Video of the Year category. He is also nominated for Male Artist of the Year. If he were to win for Video of the Year this year, it would mark his third win in this category.

    Reigning Duo of the Year and Video of the Year winners, Brothers Osborne earned four nominations in three categories, including a nod for Duo of the Year. They are also nominated for Music Event of the Year for “Burning Man” with Dierks Bentley. Additionally, Brothers Osborne are nominated twice in the Video of the Year category for songs “Shoot Me Straight” and “Burning Man.” The guys tweeted, “Unreal. Beyond grateful. Love y’all.”

     

    Luke Bryan has won a handful of ACM Awards over his career, including the New Artist of the Year Award in 2010 and following it up with two Entertainer Awards just a few years later. He tell us he is honored to be included in both the Entertainer and the Single of the Year categories. “The opportunity to go to the ACMs with two nominations – Entertainer of the Year and Single of the Year – is just a huge honor for me. When I was able to record ‘Most People Are Good,’ I just felt like it was a really, really important song for the world to hear, an important song for me to have in my live show and to put out on radio, and to have it nominated is so rewarding for me and I’m so happy for the songwriters. And also, to have an Entertainer of the Year nomination is a huge honor for me. It’s something that I really, really work hard at every year to try to be a better Entertainer, a better singer and a better performer.”

     

    Keith Urban has a pair of nominations at this year’s ACM Awards, including Entertainer of the Year and Male Vocalist of the Year. Keith picked up the CMA Award for Entertainer of the Year in November and says he is absolutely elated.”

    Maddie & Tae are looking forward to being in Vegas for this year’s ACM Awards where they’re nominated for Duo of the Year.

There’s only five guys in there, and to be one of those I think I appreciate it now more than ever. The album, obviously, is like the biggest nomination ever to get for anything. It’s one of the tangible results that you get to physically see from like putting time in the whole, the year and a half that goes into making that. I was very appreciative of it.”

  • KACEY MUSGRAVES WINS FOUR GRAMMY AWARDS!

    Video
    Kacey Musgraves

    It has been a monumental year for critically-acclaimed singer-songwriter Kacey Musgraves, who took home four GRAMMY Awards including Album of The Year and Best Country Album for her #1 third studio album Golden Hour, Best Country Solo Performance for “Butterflies,” and Best Country Song for “Space Cowboy.” People predicted that “Kacey Musgraves just might be the GRAMMY Awards’ golden girl this year,” and Kacey has now made history as the first female solo artist to win Best Country Album twice. These wins bring Kacey’s career total up to six.

    In tandem with her breathtaking performance of new single “Rainbow” on the 61st Annual GRAMMY Awards, Kacey has shared the song’s official video. The cinematic visual is a heartfelt message of hope for anyone facing adversity, echoing the song’s lyrics that “it’ll all be alright.” Upon Golden Hour’s release, GQ declared the track “arguably the best song she’s ever recorded,” describing it as “an emotional wallop that’ll knock you sideways if you’re not prepared,” and Noisey pronounced it “a stunner, which makes majesty out of familiar balladry.” The single has been serviced simultaneously to AC, Hot AC, Triple A and Country radio. Listen to and watch “Rainbow” here: http://strm.to/Rainbow.

    Golden Hour has received overwhelming praise and support since its release in March 2018, and Variety notes, “it’s hard to imagine that within the next couple of years Kacey Musgraves won’t be one of the biggest stars in music.” Kacey made her debut on Saturday Night Live with “High Horse” and “Slow Burn,” and made additional high-profile TV appearances surrounding Golden Hour’s release, including The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, TODAY, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Late Late Show with James Corden, and Jimmy Kimmel Live! Golden Hour, which earned Kacey her third #1 debut on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart, was named Apple Music’s Global Album of the Year, and has been celebrated as one of the best albums of 2018 by outlets across the board including NPR, The Associated Press, Time, Rolling Stone, Billboard, Pitchfork, Entertainment Weekly, Esquire, Complex, Consequence of Sound, USA Today, Noisey, Stereogum, People, and Vulture, among others. The album continues to break boundaries, historically winning Album of the Year at the CMA Awards, with Kacey becoming the first female to win the category in 4 years and only the sixth female to do so in the show’s 52-year history. This April, Kacey will become the first-ever female country artist to play Coachella.

    Kacey is currently on the North American leg of her Oh, What a World: Tour, recently adding 17 new shows in response to overwhelming demand see full list of dates at  http://www.kaceymusgraves.com/tour.

     

     

     

     

  • KACEY MUSGRAVES RELEASES HER NEW SONG, “RAINBOW.”

    Kacey Musgraves

    Kacey Musgraves has released “Rainbow,” which she performed on Sunday night’s GRAMMY Awards.  Kacey co-wrote the melodic tune with Shane McAnally and Natalie Hemby and appears on her acclaimed album, Golden Hour.

    “The song ‘Rainbow’ was actually written a handful of years ago as sort of a little bit of a memo to myself. I think we can all get stuck in a mindset that things are never gonna improve or you can easily focus on kind of the bad parts of whatever you’re going through and not really realize that if you pulled your head above the water you’d see that the sun is actually shining and that everything’s actually okay,” she says. “I think one of the reasons that people may relate to the song a lot is because, though it was written to myself, I think that it can take the shape of like whatever someone’s going through – whether it’s coming out and not having the support or just any kind of a situation that they don’t feel like they may make it through.”

    She also dropped the video for the song tonight. She premiered a clip of the video during E!’s Red Carpet special prior to the GRAMMY Awards.

     

    Kacey won four GRAMMY Awards, including Best Album and Best Country Album (Golden Hour), Best Country Song for “Space Cowboy” with co-writers Luke Laird and Shane McAnally and Best Country Solo Performance for “Butterflies.”

Yeah. That’s a guy feeling. That’s a human feeling. So, when I heard those opening lines and chorus, ‘take a little bit of my heart tonight/No I literally don’t mind/just please don’t misplace it.’ Gosh, that’s a great line.”

  • KACEY MUSGRAVES IS LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS YEAR’S GRAMMY AWARDS.

    Audio
    Kacey Musgraves

    Kacey Musgraves goes into Sunday night’s GRAMMY Awards with four nominations, including overall Album of the Year and Best Country Album for Golden Hour. Her song “Butterflies” picks up a nomination for Best Country Solo Performance, while “Space Cowboy” earns a nod for Best Country Song.

    Kacey is proud her album received nominations because she says it means “everything” to her. “It’s a very personal album. I’d say probably more personal than all of my other ones at this point,” she says. “So, to be nominated this year for this many awards. I mean, any award, it’s really special to me, especially when you take a step back and look at the people I’m nominated alongside; lots of records that have sold a lot more than mine. If you’re looking at radio play, people that have been on the charts for a long time and have gotten a lot of air time. It just makes me feel like to be in a category with people and works of art like that, it makes me feel like all of our hard work is paying off and that these days people just want to connect to songs that they relate to and that they think is good, and it really doesn’t matter what genre it comes from or where they might hear it, if it connects, it connects.”

    Kacey will perform a couple of times on Sunday night’s awards show, including during a tribute to the MusiCares Person of the Year, Dolly Parton, alongside Katy Perry, Little Big Town and Maren Morris. She’s really looking forward to watching and participating in the show.

    “TV performances are a whole nother ballgame. They can be nerve-wracking, but they can also be very fun, and ultimately, I just try to find my center within all of that, find my calm. I’m getting to perform songs that I really, truly love and feel comfortable singing. So, I feel like I don’t really have anything to feel nervous about. Mostly I’m just excited, and of course there’s the glam and the wardrobe and the fact that my husband [Ruston Kelly] will get to be there sitting with me and hanging out with me. So, I’m just really going to try to find the fun of it all and not get too worried about the outcome and just ultimately just be myself and have a good time.”

    In addition to attending the GRAMMY Awards, Kacey is headlining her own Oh, What a World Tour, which heads to Phoenix February 13th, followed by a two-night stand in Los Angeles February 14th and 15th.

    Kacey Musgraves (Grammy nominations) OC: …it connects. :58
    “This record means everything to me. It’s a very personal album. I’d say probably more personal than all of my other ones at this point. So, to be nominated this year for this many awards. I mean, any award, it’s really special to me, especially when you take a step back and look at the people I’m nominated alongside; lots of records that have sold a lot more than mine. If you’re looking at radio play, people that have been on the charts for a long time and have gotten a lot of air time. It just makes me feel like to be in a category with people and works of art like that, it makes me feel like all of our hard work is paying off ad that these days people just want to connect to songs that they relate to and that they think is good, and it really doesn’t matter what genre it comes from or where they might hear it, if it connects, it connects.”

    Audio / Kacey Musgraves says she’s just going to have fun at Sunday night’s GRAMMY Awards.
