Nominees Announced For The 2025 ACM Awards

The Academy of Country Music unveiled the full list of 2025 ACM Awards nominations, led by singer Ella Langley with eight total nods.

Six of her nominations are for “you look like you love me,” her hit collaboration with Riley Green, which is up for both Single and Song of the Year. Langley is also up for Female Artist and New Female Artist of the Year.

Cody Johnson, Morgan Wallen, and Lainey Wilson are close behind with seven nods, while Chris Stapleton has six, Green and Post Malone each have five, and Kelsea Ballerini has four, including her first nod for Entertainer of the Year.

Other nominees for Entertainer of the Year include Luke Combs, Johnson, Jelly Roll, Stapleton, Wallen, and Wilson, who took home the honor last year.

Stapleton received his 10th consecutive nomination for Male Artist of the Year, and Kacey Musgraves received her ninth nomination for Female Artist of the Year, which she won in 2019, while Ballerini is nominated for the eighth time, though she has yet to win in that category.

The 2025 ACM Awards is taking place on May 8, with host Reba McEntire and featuring performances by Wilson, Blake Shelton and Eric Church.
