    Sep 17, 2020
    AceShowbiz – The 2020 Academy of Country Music Awards was held on Wednesday, September 16, offering some stunning performances from famous faces in the country music scene. Among the performers was Blake Shelton who joined forces with girlfriend Gwen Stefani to bring happiness with their latest duet song “Happy Anywhere”.
    “Hey guys, Blake here, and I hope everyone out there is doing their best to stay healthy,” Shelton said to the camera ahead of the performance as they filmed in front of a green-screened, virtual Bluebird Cafe from Los Angeles. “Gwen and I wish that we could be in Nashville tonight, but we couldn’t. But through the magic of television, voila! Welcome back to the Bluebird Cafe, everybody.”

    Also performing that night was Taylor Swift. The “Cardigan” hitmaker made her return to the award-giving event for the first time in seven years. The pop star offered a live debut of “Betty” of her chart-topping album “Folklore”.
    For her grand return to Nashville, Taylor opted to wear khaki pants and a sequined turtleneck top. She performed with just her guitar and a harmonica player against a black background. The country-turned-pop singer sang on the song, “Of I just showed up at your party…would you tell me to go straight to hell?” Taylor apparently changed the lyrics for ACM Awards 2020 as the original lyrics were, “Would you tell me to go f**k myself?”

    Meanwhile, Morgan Wallen hit the 2020 ACM Awards stage to sing his 2018 single “Whiskey Glasses”. Although COVID-19 pandemic forced the 55th Academy of Country Music awards to have no public spectators in attendance, it didn’t stop the musician to give his all out as if he was there performing in front of live audience.

    The night also saw Trisha Yearwood honoring late country stars by performing a beautiful rendition of “I’ll Carry You Home” during its In Memoriam segment. Backed up by three singers and accompanied with a piano, Trisha belted out the 2019 track in a beautiful champagne-colored, long-sleeve gown.
    The song, which was featured on Trisha’s album “Every Girl”, was a perfect choice to remember country musicians who passed away this year. Among the fallen stars were John Prine, Joe Diffie, Kenny Rogers, Jan Howard, Justin Townes Earle, busbee and Charlie Daniels.

    The award-giving event also saw performances from the likes Tim McGraw, Maren Morris, Luke Bryan ,Kelsea Ballerini and Cade Foehner, the latter of whom was joined on stage by wife Gabby Barrett.

      by

      The 55th annual prizegiving, which was originally set to take place in Las Vegas, has been rescheduled to September 16 at the Grand Ole Opry House and Ryman Auditorium in Music City.
      Apr 28, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The postponed Academy of Country Music Awards are moving to Nashville, Tennessee.
      The 55th annual prizegiving was set to air in Las Vegas until the coronavirus shut down several events, gigs and festivals last month (March), and now the rescheduled awards show will take place at the Grand Ole Opry House and Ryman Auditorium in Music City.
      The ACM Awards will now take place on 16 September.
      “While we were disappointed to postpone our April show in Las Vegas, we couldn’t be more thrilled to host the rescheduled 55th ACM Awards in the home of Country Music for the first time in the Academy’s history,” said Damon Whiteside, CEO of the Academy of Country Music.
      “Now, more than ever, is the time to bring our community together to honour the best in our genre, and there is no more special place to do that than three of the most revered venues in Country Music – The Grand Ole Opry House, The Ryman Auditorium and The Bluebird Cafe. A huge thank you to these historic venues and to the state of Tennessee and city of Nashville for all of the support in making this a reality!”

      Keith Urban, the reigning ACM Awards Entertainer of the Year, will host the show.

      Singer Keith Urban had been due to host the prizegiving at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on 5 April but, after U.S. President Donald Trump declared the Covid-19 outbreak a national emergency earlier this month, organisers decided to pull the plug on the event.
      It has since been confirmed that the show will now take place on 16 September with representatives from ACM and Dick Clark Productions adding that the venue would be revealed soon, along with an initial list of performers, reported Variety.
      The announcement indicates that the show may not take place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, as it has for several years. However, 15-time ACM winner and recipient of the 2018 Entertainer of the Year honour Urban remains booked as host.

      Maren Morris and Thomas Rhett are among the top nominees for the ACMs, with five nods each.

      ACM Awards 2020 Pushed Back to September Due to Coronavirus Pandemic

      by

      Despite their initial insistence the show would go on as planned, organizers are pulling the plug on the April ceremony after President Donald Trump declared the outbreak a national emergency.
      Mar 16, 2020
      AceShowbiz – The 2020 Academy of Country Music Awards have become the latest casualty of the global coronavirus crisis.
      Singer Keith Urban had been due to host the prizegiving at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on 5 April, and just days ago, ACM officials insisted the show would go on, despite the postponement of various big-name tours and festivals like Coachella and Stagecoach in California.
      They insisted they were “closely monitoring the situation” for developments, and now, after U.S. President Donald Trump declared the COVID-19 outbreak a national emergency on Friday (March 13), organisers have decided to pull the plug on the event and push it back to September, although a specific date has yet to be decided.
      “The ACM Awards is a tentpole event for our Country Music industry, and the Academy of Country Music and dick clark productions went to great lengths to find a safe solution for the show to go on so that we can honor our artist community,” Damon Whiteside, CEO of the Academy of Country Music, shared in a statement.
      “This decision involved many partners, stakeholders and the industry who we have been in constant conversations with over the past several days as the situation has developed. We look forward to identifying a future date that we can celebrate with our Country community safely.”

      Maren Morris and Thomas Rhett were among the top nominees for the ACMs, with five nods each, while the bash was set to feature performances from Urban, Miranda Lambert, Lindsay Ell, Elle King and Ashley McBryde, among others.
      It’s the latest prizegiving to be affected by the coronavirus chaos – the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards and Canada’s Juno Awards were recently scrapped, while the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony was put on hold.
