Oklahoma native, Blake Shelton brought the 2013 ACMs down to a new emotional level, with a performance of his hit song 'Sure Be Cool if You Did.' From his record 'Based on a True Story,' the song is his 8th consecutive No. 1 hit and 13th overall.
Eric Church took another step away from being a Nashville outsider to being the new mainstream of Music City by winning Album of the Year at the 2013 ACM Awards on Sunday night (April 7), beating such huge acts as Carrie Underwood, Taylor Swift, Luke Bryan and Little Big Town.
The 2013 ACM Awards got off to a great start Sunday, with a fantastic performance from three country crooners who are truly 'outstanding in their field' -- Brad Paisley, Dierks Bentley and the young Hunter Hayes lit up the MGM arena, performing the 'Wheelhouse' star's new song, 'Outstanding in Our Field.'
Husband and wife country duo Thompson Square won the first major award of the night at the 2013 ACMs on Sunday night (April 7), taking home the honors for Vocal Duo of the Year.
Eric Church ditched his signature baseball cap and ever-present aviator sunglasses to perform his simple, stark but affecting ballad 'Like Jesus Does' at the 2013 ACM Awards. It's rare that we get to see the bearded singer's face or his eyes, and it was a welcome treat.
The big 2013 ACM Awards winners in Las Vegas were Miranda Lambert and Luke Bryan. Lambert took home three trophies, including Female Vocalist of the Year and Single and Song of the Year for 'Over You.' The singer couldn't help but become emotional as she accepted her fifth straight Female Vocalist trophy.
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.
Despite the accuracy (or lack of accuracy) of these predictions for the 2013 ACM Awards, one thing is certain: one group of country fans will be ecstatic come Monday morning, while another will be furious that their favorite wasn't recognized for his or her talent and achievements. Only one out of every group of five can take the trophy for Entertainer, Male Vocalist, Female Vocalist and the other top prizes. This means four more will be left politely applauding for someone the industry says had a little better year. Fans tend to not be as graceful in defeat.
It's fitting that Duck Dynasty Stars Willie and his wife Korie will be part of Country Music's biggest part of the year.
Have you always dreamed of being in a music video? Now you can, thanks to Luke Bryan and his creative juices! Before we get to that, he wanted me to be sure to remind you to VOTE for him to be Entertainer of the Year!! . Then, be watching the ACM's this Sunday to watch all your favorite Country Artists and Luke co-host the show with Blake Shelton. I'll be looking for you in the video....have fun!!!
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.
