This morning (March 1st) was an early morning for Reba McEntire, as she was wide awake to reveal this year’s nominees for the 2018 ACM Awards. The legendary country singer and 14-time ACM host took to her Facebook page to share the names in the mix for Song Of The Year before dropping by CBS This Morning to spill the beans on all the nominations for 2018. Reba McEntire will host this year’s 53rd Academy of Country Music Awards, making it the 15th time that she has hosted the award show.
Chris Stapleton leads all nominees with 8 nods, Thomas Rhett is just behind with 6 and Maren Morris and Miranda Lambert both land 4 nods. Tim McGraw and Faith Hill also received their first-ever nomination for Vocal Duo. See the full list of nominations for the 2018 ACM Awards below.
