Jordan Davis couldn’t have predicted his nomination for ACM Male Artist of the Year, since it has been four years since he was first nominated for the ACM New Artist of the Year. He’s been nominated for a few different awards in the last few years, including winning the CMA Song of the Year in 2022 for “Buy Dirt,” and he finally picks up a nod for Male Artist.

“I haven’t been that shocked in a long time. Definitely the most shocked I’ve been since I started doing music,” says Jordan. “It was definitely shocked to see that I was in that category. I knew I made it through to the last round, but, honestly, I was, y’all see the other nominees in there, some heavy hitters. So, to hear my name first, it was pure shock. But now too, in 2019, I was up for New Artist, so I think it goes to show that I’ve got a great team and great fans, and two, we made some great music that is connecting with people. The awards are amazing, but to be nominated with those guys is a huge win for me.”

Jordan is up against Chris Stapleton, Luke Combs, Morgan Wallen and Kane Brown.

The 58th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards will stream live from the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas on Amazon Prime Video May 11th at 8pm ET/7pm CT/5pm PT.

Jordan is currently scaling the country charts with his latest single, “Next Thing You Know.”
