Luke Combs is the man of the hour. The 59th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards nominations were announced on Tuesday morning, April 9, and Combs came out on top with eight bids, including Entertainer of the Year. Check out the complete list of nominations here.
This is Combs’s fifth nomination in a row for Entertainer of the Year, an award he has yet to win. This year he’s up against Kane Brown, Jelly Roll, Cody Johnson, Chris Stapleton, Morgan Wallen and lone female nominee Lainey Wilson. Women are consistently underrepresented in Entertainer of the Year, though Carrie Underwood won in 2020 (in a tie with Thomas Rhett) and Miranda Lambert finally prevailed in 2022. But we mustn’t underestimate Wilson here. She pulled off a huge upset at the CMA Awards last fall, claiming Entertainer of the Year despite being relatively new on the scene.

Dolly Parton honored Tom Petty with a gorgeous cover of his 1985 song, “Southern Accents,” which will appear on the upcoming tribute compilation Petty Country: A Country Music Celebration of Tom Petty.
“Southern Accents” is a tender ballad about Southern roots and a down-on-his luck Florida orange-picker. Parton stays faithful to the original, adding her own country twang, and juicing the poignancy further with a music video filled with old archival footage of Petty.
“I was fortunate enough to get to know Tom over the years,” Parton said in a statement.

Dolly Parton has revealed her reimagined rendition of Tom Petty’s song “Southern Accents” for the forthcoming compilation, Petty Country: A Country Music Celebration of Tom Petty.
The song features a prologue delivered by the late Tom Petty himself describing how the moment of inspiration that led to “Southern Accents.” Dolly Parton then provides an emotional, stirring rendition of the song, kept at the same balladeer tempo as Petty’s original. She retains much of the song, though she adds a crucial change to the song’s latter third when belting “Yes I’m proud to be what I am/ A southern girl from a southern town/ I ain’t ashamed, I ain’t ashamed, I ain’t ashamed.”

He repeated the trick again earlier this year with “Angels (Don’t Always Have Wings),” bringing his total up to 21, and hopes to repeat it with a new single, “Mamaw’s House,” which finds him duetting with country lightning rod (and stadium headliner) Morgan Wallen.

The 2023 Academy of Country Music Awards have concluded, and the big winner from Thursday night’s ceremony is Chris Stapleton, who took home Entertainer of the Year.
It’s the first time Stapleton has won that prize, which brings the total of ACM awards he’s won over his celebrated career to 15. He’s now also qualified for the ACM Triple Crown Award, given to people who win New Female/Male Artist of the Year, Female/Male Artist of the Year, and Entertainer of the Year.
But Stapleton didn’t take home the most prizes. That distinction was shared by Lainey Wilson and Hardy, who essentially teamed up to win 4 each. By herself, Wilson won Female Artist of the Year and Album of the Year for “Bell Bottom Country.” She also shared Visual Media of the Year and Music Event of the Year with Hardy, both of which were awarded...

On Saturday, the “Country Grammar” rapper was on stage during the music festival in Indio, California when his set was cut short — as it hit midnight.
According to Variety, the 48-year-old rapper was halfway into his hit single, “Dilemma” when the music shut off and the rapper left the stage without warning.
Fans got to experience a good portion of the set, which was billed as the “Late Night In The Palomino,” as the rapper performed some of his biggest hits including, “Country Grammar,” “E.I.,” “Ride Wit Me,” and hit country/crossover hit, featuring Tim McGraw, “Over and Over.”
Keeping things country, the rapper — who was joined onstage by his brother and fellow St. Lunatic, City Spud — performed a cover of Thomas Rhett’s “Die a Happy Man.”

Luke Combs and Chris Stapleton are both past winners of Male Artist of the Year at the Academy of Country Music Awards, but in 2023 they could both be usurped by Morgan Wallen. That’s according to the combined predictions of Gold Derby users who have placed their bets here in our predictions center as of this writing.
Wallen leads our forecasts with 6/1 odds. He’s backed by 12 of the Top 24 Users who got the highest scores predicting last year’s ACM Awards and 13 of the All-Star Top 24 who got the highest scores when you combine the last two years’ prediction results. It doesn’t hurt that he’s undoubtedly the most commercially successful country artist in the industry right now, with his new album “One Thing at a Time” spending its first six weeks at number-one on the Billboard 200. And while he has a, shall we say, controversial public image,...

In case you haven’t heard, season 23 of “The Voice” will be Blake Shelton‘s last. Blake has been one of four coaches on the long-running singing competition series since it began in 2011. He is not only the longest-tenured coach at the full 23 seasons so far, but also boasts the most wins with nine, including in season 22 with Bryce Leatherwood. Needless to say, Blake’s red chair, cowboy boots, and alcohol-filled cup (allegedly) will be hard to fill by anyone else, but there must be a replacement. We think the void can only be filled by someone with enough country music cachet to match Blake’s and so we’ve compiled a list of 16 industry stars that would fit the bill. Scroll through our gallery of potential Blake replacements above (or click here for direct access).
