March 20, 2013 This year the 48th Annual ACM Awards could be the best ever! The ACM just announced that George Strait and Garth Brooks are teaming up for a performance on the show with a tribute to Dick Clark. The late Dick Clark began producing the ACMs in 1979. He passed away last year.

January 23, 2013 Hey guys, I just heard the news that Tim McGraw is headlining this year's "ACM Presents" concert special. Tim McGraw's "Superstar Summer Night" will tape on Monday, April 8 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas and air at a later date on CBS.
January 22, 2013 The 48th annual ACM awards will be held at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas on Sunday, April 7. We've already told you that Blake Shelton will be returning as host, with Luke Bryan helping out. Yesterday, voting began for the first three categories which are New Female Vocalist, New Male Vocalist, and New Duo or Group. We told you who was nominated for New Female Vocalist, now it's time to focus on the men.
How do you go about getting folks to vote you top New Female Vocalist at this year at the Academy of Country Music Awards? First of course you've got to get nominated. Next you make a funny song sampling another funny song -- and if that is indeed what it takes, Longview native Sunny Sweeney is going to win top New Female Vocalist of the year.
A few moments into his duet of ‘You Are’ with Blake Shelton at the 2012 ACM Awards, Lionel Richie sort of smiled, shook his head and recognized the strangeness of two grown, heterosexual men singing the love ballad together. Then he kept singing, turning in a fine topper to an enjoyable — albeit tame — country awards show.
The 2012 ACM Awards winners were elated to collect their prizes on the eve of country music’s biggest party. The annual awards show, hosted for a second time by Reba McEntire and Blake Shelton, airs live from Sin City — Las Vegas, Nevada — and pays tribute to the most famous stars in the genre. Natural, selecting the best of the best and naming winners is a daunting task.
Tonight at the 2012 ACM Awards, there were a few standout country stars, like Taylor Swift and Carrie Underwood, whose attire really blew us away. These are our picks of the Best Dressed pictures from the show, which was held at the MGM Grand Arena in Las Vegas. Scroll through the photos to see the most fashionable musicians who hit the red carpet at the 2012 ACM Awards.
Big congrats to Taylor Swift! The country cutie was crowned Entertainer of the Year at the 2012 ACM Awards, marking her second consecutive win of the prestigious fan-voted award. Although she was the youngest nominee in the category, going up against country vets Jason Aldean, Kenny Chesney, Brad Paisley and Blake Shelton, Swift managed to get the most fan votes to win Entertainer of the Year once again.
Even though he is the co-host of the 2012 ACM Awards, Blake Shelton didn’t stuff the ballot to win the Male Vocalist of the Year award. He won it because he is awesome. We’d venture to guess that some of his newly-cultivated fans from his stint on the ‘The Voice‘ voted, too.
It always seems like Luke Bryan is giving fans every ounce of energy he can muster during award show performances. With a high-octane version of his No. 1 song ‘I Don’t Want This Night to End’ at the 2012 ACM Awards in Las Vegas on Sunday night, he certainly didn’t let fans down.
Fresh off her win for Female Vocalist of the Year at the 2012 ACM Awards, Miranda Lambert had to switch from a celebratory mood to a much more somber tone as she readied herself to perform ‘Over You’ for the crowd gathered at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas. If you’re a fan of Lambert, you already know that this song has a very personal meaning to the songstress and her husband, Blake Shelton.
