The country music world shared the stage at the 2024 ACM Awards, where Post Malone performed songs from his upcoming country album, Dua Lipa joined Chris Stapleton for a duet, and Avril Lavigne and Noah Kahan partnered with country musicians onstage.
It almost felt like Beyoncé — who recently made history on the country charts with Cowboy Country — might pop up. She didn’t Thursday night, but host Reba McEntire did reference Queen Bey’s historic project during her opening monologue.
“We’re here to talk about country music and how everyone is invited and welcome here at country music’s party of the year. From Mother Maybelle to Cowboy Carter, country music is so big in 2024 that there’s room for everybody,” she said. “We all love country [music] and we all are country, and we’re keeping the circle unbroken, but growing it to even bigger and better.”

Jason Aldean paid tribute to Toby Keith at the 2024 ACM Awards, performing a elegantly low-key version of “Should’ve Been a Cowboy,” Keith’s 1993 debut single, backed by a string quartet.
Blake Shelton introduced the performance, honoring his fellow Oklahoma native. The audience singing along was loud and clear as Aldean delivered the classic song. Behind Aldean, photos of Keith performing or with his family flashed by and the camera often panned to tearful and visibly moved audience members.

It is possible to be “scared of nothin’ and … scared to death” at the same, at least so says Luke Combs, who holds his own bellowing about the virtues of the Sooner State over a torrent of wind and rain in the video for his new song, “Ain’t No Love in Oklahoma.” The song comes off the upcoming soundtrack to Twisters, the 28-years-late sequel to Twister (and grammarians will note that Combs’ double-negative suggests there is love in Oklahoma, even if it’s a North Carolinian turned Nashvillian singing his heart out.

Along with transforming his music career and topping the charts, Jelly Roll has been hard at work transforming his body, too. The Save Me singer has been putting in the work to melt the pounds. As a bonus, he picked one of the biggest nights in all of country music to show off all of his hard work.
Jelly Roll Is Larger Than Life
For many years, Jelly Roll’s larger-than-life personality matched his teddy bear physique. While his carrying some extra weight around has become an endearing part of his image, weight is something that Jelly Roll has struggled with for years.
The superstar has gone through several rounds of dropping weight, only to put it back on. This is a cycle that a lot of people can fall into, even those in the public eye. In Jelly’s case, he realized that he would have to get back...

Is Reba McEntire running a little behind Bob Hope, as an awards-show-hosting perennial… or actually a little bit ahead? It depends how you count. Because this year marks her 17th year hosting the Academy of Country Music Awards, aka the ACMs, and Hope did the Oscars 19 times, so she’s still two years from matching his record, if we compare these gigs.
However, McEntire has also hosted a rival program, the CMA Awards, five times over the years. So if we include all the times that McEntire has hosted one country awards program or another, she’s actually up to 22, if we’re doing our math right… well ahead of Hope. Something’s clicking, to say the least.
Variety clicked onto a Zoom with McEntire for a few minutes in the run-up to Thursday night’s ACM Awards, which for the third year are being broadcast live exclusively on Prime...

Entertainer of the Year is the biggest prize at the Academy of Country Music Awards, honoring an artist’s incredible year across all metrics, like touring, streaming and radio. While there is no specific formula on how to predict the winner, it’s often someone who dominated the country sphere in more ways than one, and who solidified themselves as the face of country music. With that in mind, let’s take a look at the seven-person race for this year’s award.
If we are going by process of elimination, perhaps the first person out is Kane Brown. He is one of country music’s most popular artists of the past 10 years, undoubtedly so. However, 2023 wasn’t necessarily a standout year for him, evidenced by the fact that he is only nominated in this category. Plus, Brown is surely going to be back in a stronger year, perhaps with...

Country Music Hall of Fame member Randy Travis has released his first new song in over a decade, “Where That Came From.” The announcement, delivered via the “Forever and Ever, Amen” vocalist’s social media, has spurred considerable excitement and curiosity from country fans and marks one of the most impossible comebacks in music history: Travis has been mostly unable to sing or speak since suffering a near-fatal stroke in 2013.
The questions about how Travis recorded the new song are myriad, and his team kept the information close to the vest until Friday,...

When Matthew McConaughey and Camila Alves McConaughey step in front of the cameras, it’s always for a very good reason. What cause is better than bringing awareness and raising support for Matthew’s charitable project, Mack, Jack & McConaughey? The annual two-day joint fundraising effort took place in Austin, Texas. Matthew stepped out with his wife of 14 years and their three children, who look much more grown-up than the last time we saw them.

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.

“Fast Car” continues to drive Luke Combs and Tracy Chapman to the top — this time, at the 2024 Academy of Country Music Awards.
Combs is the top contender this year with eight nominations, competing for entertainer of the year as well as single and song of the year with “Fast Car.” He shares the latter nomination with Chapman, who wrote the song alone and had major success with it in 1988, 35 years before Combs brought new life to the track and made it a country hit.
Chapman won in the same category at last year’s Country Music Association Awards, becoming the first Black person to do so. She and Combs earned praise for teaming up for a live performance of the song at February’s Grammy Awards, where Combs was nominated for his version of the song; Chapman won two Grammys for her original version.

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.”

Carrie Underwood is a household name in country music, and is one of the biggest-selling artists to ever make waves in the genre. She is more than qualified to speak on country music, and recently, she gave her honest, raw take on the current state of the genre. So, what did she have to say?
Carrie Underwood Has Come A Long Way Since Her American Idol Start
Carrie Underwood was first introduced to a national audience when she competed on American Idol. She was the winner of Season 4 all the way back in 2005. Even back then, audiences recognized her star power. She may have not fully realized all of that potential until after winning her season, along with everything that came after, but the seeds for what she would become were already planted.

Few country stars have been embraced by the Grammys like Kacey Musgraves has. The singer-songwriter rose to prominence with her mainstream debut, “Same Trailer Different Park,” which became one of the most acclaimed albums of 2013, earning an 89 score on Metacritic and establishing Musgraves as one to watch in the industry. She received four Grammy nominations that year and won Best Country Album in a major upset against Taylor Swift’s commercial blockbuster “Red.” Musgraves followed that with another Grammy-nominated record, “Pageant Material,” but her third try was the charm: “Golden Hour” won Album of the Year and swept its three other nominations in the country field. Then came the pop-leaning “Star-Crossed,” which nevertheless received two country nominations. This year Musgraves is back with “Deeper Well,” which many are considering a return to form and a folk-country masterpiece. She is for sure getting her usual country nominations. But can she crossover to the general field again?...

Reba McEntire got choked up on Monday’s (March 25) episode of The Voice after one of her team members revealed an emotional connection to a Luke Combs song. With the Battle Rounds now underway, McEntire paired up her “good ol’ boys” Josh Sanders and Donny Van Slee to perform Combs’ number-one country hit “When It Rains, It Pours.” While the song is a fun, upbeat country track, Sanders confessed to McEntire that the lyrics spoke to him in a different way. “‘When it rains, it pours,’ that lyric hits me kinda heavy,” Sanders shared. “I’m a dad of four girls. We had a son. He was born and passed away on my birthday.” He continued, “It’s such a fun song, and I don’t wanna take it there.” However, Sanders received emotional support from a tearful McEntire and Van Slee. “Before I go onstage, I ask the Holy Spirit to walk for me,...
