Brothers Osborne, Carrie Underwood, Eric Church, Jordan Davis and Luke Bryan have been added to the list of performers for this year’s ACM Awards. They’ll be joined by Brittney Spencer, Chris Young, Jason Aldean, Kane Brown and Mitchell Tenpenny, as well as Dolly Parton with Kelsea Ballerini, Jimmie Allen and Gabby Barrett.

They join previously announced performances from Chris Stapleton, BRELAND, Walker Hayes, Maren Morris, Parmalee and Blanco Brown Featuring Brooke Eden, Carly Pearce and Ashley McBryde and Thomas Rhett.

Carrie is nominated for four awards this year, including Entertainer of the Year, Single of the Year (“If I Didn’t Love You”), Video of the Year (“If I Didn’t Love You”) and Music Event of the Year (“If I Didn’t Love You”). She is a 45-time nominee and 15-time winner, including three Entertainer of the Year Awards (the only female artist in history to win this award three times).

Duo of the Year nominees Brothers Osborne are five-time ACM Award winners, and the pair will perform a song from their current Skeletons album.

Eric is nominated for Entertainer of the Year, which brings his nomination count to 33.

Reigning ACM Entertianer of the Year Luke Bryan will pre-tape a special performance of his latest single, “Up.” The ACM Awards hold a special place in Luke Bryan’s heart, as a former host, 28-time nominee, and 10-time winner—including three Entertainer of the Year Awards and the “Album of the Decade” Award for Crash My Party.

Jordan Davis will be joined by Luke Bryan for their multi-week No. 1 smash hit, “Buy Dirt,” which has earned him four nominations, including Single of the Year (“Buy Dirt”), Song of the Year (“Buy Dirt”) – nominated as artist + songwriter, Music Event of the Year (“Buy Dirt”), along with Luke Bryan.

The two-hour show, featuring more than 20 performances, will stream live without commercial interruption and is hosted by icon Dolly Parton and co-hosted by reigning ACM New Female Artist of the Year Gabby Barrett and reigning ACM New Male Artist of the Year Jimmie Allen.

The 57th Annual ACM Awards, hosted by Dolly Parton with co-hosts Jimmie Allen and Gabby Barrett, will be streamed live from Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium on March 7th at 8pm ET/7pm CT on Amazon Prime.

Priscilla Block has released the official music video for her new single, “My Bar,” from her debut album, Welcome To The Block Party.

Taylor Swift, who is making her way up the country charts with “I Bet You Think About Me” with Chris Stapleton, joins forces for a beautifully reimagined version of Ed Sheeran’s “The Joker And The Queen.”  Sharing a friendship that spans well over a decade, today marks Ed and Taylor’s fourth official collaboration to date, following “Everything Has Changed” (2012), “End Game” (2017) and “Run (Taylor’s Version)” (2021).

The accompanying Emil Nava-directed official video brims with nostalgia as continues the storyline from the iconic “Everything Has Changed” video – Taylor and Ed’s previous collaboration, released in 2012. Ten years on, the video – featuring the original actors – captures the coming-of-age story of the now 18-year-olds, Ava and Jack, as they head to college and embark on new adventures.

Eric Churchhas been announced as a headliner for the Faster Horses Festival later this year, along with Tim McGraw and Morgan Wallen. The three-day concert event, taking place in Brooklyn, Michigan July 22nd – 24th, will also feature performances from Brothers Osborne, Jordan Davis, Lauren Alaina, Ashley McBryde, Cole Swindell, Jake Owen, Chris Janson, Michael Ray and many others. In addition, Priscilla Block is among the artists performing on the Next From Nashville stage. Passes for the three-day festival go on sale March 11th.

Chris Stapleton is closing in on the top of the country charts with “You Should Probably Leave,” a song he co-wrote with tunesmiths Ashley Gorley and Chris DuBois over 10 years ago. The song was supposed to be on an earlier album which was never released, so Chris says it’s getting a “new life” on his latest album, Starting Over.

“This is a song that I probably wrote, let’s say 10 years ago, somewhere in there,” says Chris. “I don’t know the exact date of creation for this song, but I recorded an entire record that was previous to Traveller for Mercury that kind of canned and never came out and a version of this song is actually on that record. So, it’s kind of full circle for this song to reemerge. It’s getting a new life on this record.”

Prior to launching the new leg of his All-American Road Show Tour in April, Chris will headline the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo on March 17th, followed by a pair of shows at the Choctaw Casino Resort in Durant, Oklahoma on March 18th and 19th.

Mercury Nashville recording artist and ACM New Female Artist of the Year Nominee, Priscilla Block, hit another milestone in her thriving young career on Friday (Feb. 18) while joining SiriusXM’s Buzz Brainard for The Highway’s Music Row Happy Hour. In the studio to surprise Priscilla, RIAA’s Jackie Jones popped into the live broadcast saying, “I am here to do one of my favorite things – to give an artist their very first certification. I’d like to congratulate you on your first Gold record!” and presented Priscilla with a “Just About Over You” Gold Certification plaque for the hit single.

“I’m at a loss for words!” shared a stunned Priscilla. “This is because of y’all [family, friends, supporters, and fans] MY FIRST CERTIFIED GOLD SINGLE. Thank y’all for keeping music alive and continuing to buy and stream my music and letting me have a dang career doing what I love!”

Making it all the sweeter was getting to share the moment with her friends at SiriusXM, who pegged Priscilla as one of its Highway Finds back before she had fully caught the attention of Music Row.

Since exploding onto the Country music scene in 2020 and building a fanbase via TikTok with hit viral songs like “Thick Thighs,” “PMS” and “Just About Over You,” Priscilla has landed on numerous Artist to Watch lists including Amazon Music, CMT, MusicRow, Spotify, Sounds Like Nashville, Pandora and more. Her major label debut album, Welcome to the Block Party, is available now, her brand-new single “My Bar” is currently playing on country radio, and fans can find Priscilla on the road headlining her first-ever Welcome to the Block Party Tour.

Mickey Guyton is experiencing a “full circle” moment as she gets ready to perform the National Anthem at Sunday’s Super Bowl.

“When I got the call asking if I would sing the National Anthem at the Super Bowl, that was the last thing that I ever thought I would ever hear in my lifetime, and here I am getting to sing the National Anthem and getting to be on a list of great singers who have sang it,” she says. “This is such a full circle moment for me. I wanted to become a singer after I saw LeAnn Rimes sing the National Anthem at a Texas Rangers baseball game, and here I am as a grown woman that’s going to be standing on that field singing this song, and my intentions are togetherness.”

👏🏾Look👏🏾at👏🏾God. I am shook, I am grateful, I am praise dancing…
So excited to be singing the national anthem at #SBLVI on February 13th! @nfl @nbcsports pic.twitter.com/bDdpyt1rCb

— Mickey Guyton (@MickeyGuyton) February 1, 2022

The Texas native wants to bring people together with her performance, and she added, “There’s so much divisiveness, and I just hope that everybody sees themself in this performance. That is my goal; that is where my heart is coming from and I’m just so grateful, so blessed. ”

Mickey’s full-circle moment is as a young girl and watching LeAnn Rimes sing the National Anthem at a Texas Rangers game, and she was so enthralled with the performance that she decided she wanted to be a singer. She went on to sing the National Anthem numerous times in high school that she was dubbed the “national anthem singer.” Fast-forward to years later, and she’s singing “The Star-Spangled Banner” at one of the world’s biggest stages – the Super Bowl.

You can catch Mickey, as well as the Los Angeles Rams and Cincinnati Bengals, on Sunday (February 13th) beginning at 6:30pm ET/5:30pm CT on NBC or streaming live on Peacock.

With the release of her album Remember Her Name, Mickey made history as the first Black artist to earn a GRAMMY nomination for Best Country Album. The title track “Remember Her Name” also landed Mickey with GRAMMY nominations for Best Country Song and Best Country Solo Performance.

Multi-platinum-selling No. 1 singer/songwriter Lauren Alaina was officially inducted and welcomed as the newest member of the Grand Ole Opry tonight by her friend/mentor Trisha Yearwood. The Opry was the first major stage Alaina played just a week after she was named runner-up on Season 10 of American Idol, making her Opry debut on June 10, 2011. She has appeared on the Opry more than 50 times since.

“A lot of people love you,” said Yearwood before introducing a special video from another of Alaina’s musical heroes, Dolly Parton, welcoming her to the Opry family. “You and I have a lot in common,” said Parton via video. “We both started young, we love country music and we love the Grand Ole Opry and I’d give a million dollars if I could be there with Trisha and Garth and everyone who loves you to get you inducted into the Grand Ole Opry. I just want to wish you the best in your whole career.”

Yearwood continued “What I have gotten to observe in knowing you for the couple of years I have known you is how genuine you are. I think country music is in good hands. You are exactly the kind of artist that the Opry loves, and wants and looks for. Usually when someone gets inducted they say ‘it’s on behalf of all the members of the Grand Ole Opry,’ and I’m going to say that, but I also want to say every single person from the house band, to the crew, to who is parking cars, everybody tonight says how deserving you are and it’s about time. So on behalf of myself, all the members of the Opry, the crew and everyone who is associated with the Opry, you are now officially a member of the Grand Ole Opry, Miss Lauren Alaina.”

It's safe to say tonight is a night that @Lauren_Alaina will reMEMBER forever!✨

A tearful and emotional Alaina stood in the circle, saying “Ever since I was a little girl I dreamed of this moment. Both of my parents raised me with an appreciation for country music and all that it is, and all of the people who have come before me. I just want to say I promise to do everything I can to represent country music. I promise to represent this family well. I have felt like family here as long as I remember. Everyone at the Opry has always made me feel like family so for me to finally be officially in is the biggest dream come true of all time. Most little girls dreamed of their wedding; I dreamed of this. God Bless you guys and God bless country music.”

Yearwood surprised Alaina before their performance of  Yearwood’s classic “Walkaway Joe” introducing her husband, Garth Brooks, to the stage to play guitar for them.

“We’re all thrilled to add an artist of Lauren’s caliber and a personality we all love to the Opry’s ranks,” said Dan Rogers, Opry executive producer. “Anyone in the audience or tuned in tonight could easily see it’s going to be a great marriage for decades to come.”

Alaina’s Opry induction was also seen on the Opry’s television broadcast home, Circle Network, and as part of its Saturday night Opry Live livestream on Circle All Access Facebook, Twitter and YouTube. It was heard on opry.com and wsmonline.com, SiriusXM: Willie’s Roadhouse, and the show’s flagship radio home, WSM Radio.  

Artists scheduled to perform in the coming weeks include Clint Black, Priscilla Block, John Conlee, Sara Evans, Lady A, Ned LeDoux, Gary LeVox, Mac McAnally, Del McCoury Band, Jeannie Seely, Scotty McCreery, Carly Pearce, Sawyer Brown, The War And Treaty, Chris Young, and more.

Jordan Davis continues his reign at the top of the country charts with “Buy Dirt” for the second week in a row. Featuring country superstar, Luke Bryan, the Platinum-certified song topped both the Billboard and Mediabase/Country Aircheck country airplay charts again this week.

Having wrote “Buy Dirt” with his brother Jacob Davis and two of his best friends Matt and Josh Jenkins, Jordan says the success he’s having with the song makes it so much sweeter. “It just means a lot more,” says Jordan. “I wrote it with my brother (Jacob) and two my best friends (Josh and Matt Jenkins) in town and just the content of it. It comes from a really, really honest place. So, when you have songs that mean that much and you get to see them have success like ‘Buy Dirt’ is having, it’s a little bit more special.”

Jordan has announced the second leg of his headlining Buy Dirt Tour, with special guest Tenille Arts, plus a stop at the famed Ryman Auditorium. The show will mark Davis’ first time headlining the historic Nashville venue. Tickets for both the Buy Dirt Tour and the Ryman date are on sale now.

Luke Bryan will appear on ABC’s Good Morning America and Live With Kelly & Ryan, along with his fellow American Idol judges Katy Perry and Lionel Richie, on Tuesday (February 22nd). He will also appear on The View Wednesday (February 23rd) and Jimmy Kimmel Live on Thursday (February 24th).

As The Gather Again Tour continues to consistently rank as a top tour each week, Eric Church has even bigger plans for 2022. With the Entertainer of the Year’s “Heart On Fire” climbing the Top 10 at Country radio, the man celebrated by Stereogum as “one of the biggest touring musicians on earth” has no intentions of taking his foot off the gas; proven by today’s announcement of a one-of-a-kind headlining show at Milwaukee’s American Family Field set for May 28, 2022, Memorial Day Weekend.

“Back in 2006, I think I was first-of-six booked at Country Thunder, but it was the big stage,” says the North Carolinian. “Sinners had just been released… and the next year I remember playing Kelly’s Bleachers and half the room was there to see us play, the other half had no idea who we were. The next time we played, those 378 people brought friends… and that never really stopped. This time I’m bringing friends with me, too. See you on May 28, Milwaukee.”

Joining the Chief for the newly announced Milwaukee show are nine-time GRAMMY nominees and reigning CMA Vocal Duo of the Year Brothers Osborne plus MusicRow Breakout Artist of the Year Parker McCollum.

Tickets go on sale to the general public Friday, Feb. 18 at 10 a.m. CT via EricChurch.com. Members of the Church Choir will have early access to tickets beginning Friday, Feb. 11.

About Eric Church
Eric Church spent the past year releasing new music at a relentless pace; sharing the results of a marathon session during which he spent nearly a month writing and recording a song per day while sequestered in rural North Carolina – including his latest Gold-certified No. 1 “Hell of a View” and current Top 10-and-climbing single “Heart On Fire.”  The resulting critically acclaimed and chart-topping three-part project, Heart & Soul, is available everywhere now.

Country music superstar Luke Bryan debuted his exclusive Las Vegas headlining engagement, at the new Resorts World Theatre on Friday (February 11th).

“What an amazing night and start to our run of headlining shows at Resorts World Las Vegas,” said Luke. “We’ve worked long and hard to put together an incredible, high-energy show for the fans. I am so proud of how it turned out and I hope everyone who comes leaves there having as much fun as me.”

Having so much fun I decided to stay! NEW Vegas dates have been added. @resortsworldlv @ Resorts World Theatre https://t.co/NDzmeEtYbY

Luke brought the party to Las Vegas with a high energy performance that had him working the theatre and interacting with fans. The set featured a shifting stage that lifted Bryan and his band to the rhythms of his hit songs. The country music star took to the piano to sing “Strip it Down” and “Do I” against a backdrop of lights. In a spectacular encore performance, Bryan walked an elevated catwalk that appeared from the ceiling and floated back up 45 feet high above the crowd, bringing the superstar face to face with the mezzanine and balcony levels as the crowd went wild.
