2013 ACM Awards

Country superstar Reba McEntire and legendary singer-songwriter John Fogerty are among the stars announced as presenters for the upcoming 2013 Academy of Country Music Awards.

The 48th annual ACM Awards are this week, live from Las Vegas on Sunday (April 7) at 8 p.m. on CBS.  Eric Church has the most nominations going into the night and most likely will (should) walk away with an award or two. Here are my picks (who I feel should win) and "industry picks" (who probably will win).

Blake Shelton is not just co-hosting the 2013 Academy of Country Music Awards with Luke Bryan, he's also performing -- and what a performance it's shaping up to be. Shelton is slated to open the awards shows on Sunday night (April 7) by performing his new single -- and he'll be joined by a few friends.

The Academy of Country Music has announced performers for the free and open-to-the-public 2013 ACM Experience, which is taking place during 'The Week Vegas Goes Country' leading up to the 48th Annual Country Music Awards. This year, the musical acts include Jewel and Easton Corbin.

Ashley, one of WYRK's promotions interns, is headed to the 2013 ACM Awards in Las Vegas!

Luke Bryan has a big night coming up, as he's co-hosting the ACM Awards for the first time with fellow star Blake Shelton -- but he'll take a break from the clever banter to perform his brand new single, 'Crash My Party,' from his upcoming and highly anticipated fourth studio record.

Another awards show is coming up and we want to know what you think. Here is a list of the nominees, along with a poll for you to answer who you think should win. We will then compare the results here with the actual results after the winners have been announced!

The list of 2013 ACM Awards performers is as big and spectacular as one would expect for country music's biggest party. Taylor Swift, Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean lead the five Entertainer of the Year nominees who will perform. Twenty performances have been announced so far, with space remaining for one more big surprise.

The 2013 ACM Awards are on Sunday, April 7, and you get to vote in two major categories, Entertainer of the Year and New Artist. Your vote will help determine the winners.

The 2013 Academy of Country Music Awards aren't scheduled to air until April 7, but we already know some of the top acts that have won. In a special announcement on Friday (March 22), the ACMs revealed the winners of some of the special off-camera awards, including huge stars like Lady Antebellum, Jason Aldean and Blake Shelton.

The 2013 ACMs just wouldn't be complete without performances from the hottest names in country music, and the Academy of Country Music has just announced new additions to the exciting performance lineup, including Kenny Chesney and Taylor Swift.

The country music party of the year just got a little more star-studded with the announcement of additional ACM Awards performers. With some of the biggest names in country music have already been announced for this highly-anticipated event, Hunter Hayes, Dierks Bentley, and Brantley Gilbert are the icing on the cake.
