Parker McCollum is nominated for ACM New Male Artist of the Year at this year’s ACM Award, and he’s been thinking about this moment for years.

“It’s really just crazy to be at a point in my life, in my career, where I can say things like I’m nominated for an ACM Award,” says Parker. “I mean, I’ve watched those awards since I was a little kid and watched so many of my heroes win awards on that show and they play your song and you walk up and you accept an award, and it’s something I’ve thought about for a long, long, long time. So, to even be a consideration for an award, to even be a nominee, is just such an honor. It’s kind of a pinch-me moment of man, maybe what I’m doing is working out and paying off.”

The two-hour show, featuring more than 20 performances, will stream live without commercial interruption and is hosted by Dolly Parton and co-hosted by Gabby Barrett and Jimmie Allen.

The 57th Annual ACM Awards will be streamed lived from Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium on March 7th at 8pm ET/7pm CT on Amazon Prime.

Parker is currently making his way to the top of the country charts with “To Be Loved By You.”
