EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE 52ND ACM AWARDS TONIGHT
Earlier this week, the Academy of Country Music announced winners ahead of the live telecast. As expected, Maren Morris took home New Female Vocalist of the Year, while Jon Pardi was crowned this year’s New Male Vocalist of the Year. Brothers Osborne also snagged the win for New Vocal Duo or Group of the Year.
For the first time in history, a woman has taken the title for Songwriter of the Year. Lori McKenna was surprised with her honor during the 5th ACM Party for a Cause this weekend. Florida Georgia Line were also given a huge surprise this weekend, as they have won Single Record of the Year for “H.O.L.Y.” and Vocal Event of the Year for “May We All” with Tim McGraw.
