ACM Honours To Air On FOX

The “ACM Honors” will air Tuesday, September 13th on FOX at 8 p.m.

Some highlights include Eric Church surprising Morgan Wallen with the ACM Milestone Award, while Shania Twain will be given the ACM Poet’s Award.

Chris Stapleton receives the ACM Spirit Award, and Miranda Lambert gets her Triple Crown Award for winning ACM Entertainer of the Year, Female Vocalist of the Year, and New Artist of the Year.

The ACM Honors, which took place on Aug. 24 at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium, is an evening dedicated to recognizing the special honorees and off-camera winners from the 2022 ACM Awards.

The show is returning to television for the first time in five years and coming to Fox for the first time as a two-hour prime-time special.

Carly Pearce is hosting the ACM Honors this year for a second time.

Even though she makes her living on a stage in front of people, Carly said hosting is definitely a different kind of challenge, but one she’s excited to take on.

“I’ve always wanted to get into hosting. That’s been something that’s been so important to me, so to get to start to have these opportunities over the last couple years have been really exciting for me. I think being able to host two years in a row gave me a bit more confidence. But I do think it’s kind of exercising a different muscle, as far as, you’re in charge of keeping everything kind of moving cohesively through a show, in front of people that have influenced you your whole life. Especially this year looking out and seeing Shania Twain and kind of having a banter with her from the stage was really fun. It’s definitely a huge honor that I think if I wasn’t nervous would be a problem.”

Although Carly was pretty busy with her hosting duties, she was able to catch a few favourite moments during the show.

“I loved Vince. He honored Stapleton, which just, anytime Vince Gill sings I die for. Shania just in general, getting to see everybody and their performances. Kelsea doing the whole theatrical “Man I Feel Like A Woman” and Tiera getting to sing, and Avril Lavigne coming out and honoring her with ‘No One Needs to Know.’ I think just all of that, and then hearing Shania‘s take on that honor and on songwriting and that kind of stuff was really powerful just being another female. But I think that my favorite performance of the night was Brooks & Dunn honoring Miranda Lambert, singing ‘Kerosene.’“
