The following artists reacted to their ACM Awards nominations, which were announced on Twitter yesterday (Thursday, February 10th), via a press release or on social media:
Chris Young: “7 NOMINATIONS!!!! Are ya’ll serious??? ACM – Academy of Country Music THANK YOU and see you in VEGAS! #LUCKYNUMBER7 Kane Brown”
Miranda Lambert: “I am so humbled by our industry’s recognition of the music we’re making. Jack, Jon and I took five days to make this music around a campfire in Marfa, Texas, where we’ve been writing together for years, and receiving acknowledgement like this only furthers the permission we give ourselves to be vulnerable and stretch beyond our comfort zones. I can’t believe we get to do this, and do this together… to follow our dreams and be part of such a supportive community. Thank you for listening and for loving Country music.”
Ashley McBryde: “What an honor to be recognized by our peers and the Academy. There’s nothing better than celebrating alongside all the powerhouse female artists in this category, and what a treat to be nominated with my friend Carly for Video of the Year and Music Event of the Year on a song we wrote together. Thank you to the fans for listening to our stories and for sharing yours in return. These moments wouldn’t exist without you.”
