The 2020 Academy of Country Music Awards comes to Nashville without precedent for its history on Wednesday, September sixteenth. Deferred from the first April date due to Covid-19, the show will occur in Nashville’s Grand Ole Opry House, Ryman Auditorium, and Bluebird Cafe, with Keith Urban filling in as first-time have.
In front of the transmission, champs have been named in a modest bunch of classes. In mid-August, Urban amazed Tenille Townes and Riley Green through Zoom to advise them that they were the New Artist of the Year victors. On Monday, three additional victors were reported. Those included Thomas Rhett’s “Remember You Young” for Video of the Year and Hillary Lindsey winning her first Songwriter of the Year grant. In the Music Event of the Year, the prize went to Miranda Lambert’s coincidental front of Elvin Bishop’s “Fooled Around and Fell in Love” highlighting Maren Morris, Ashley McBryde, Caylee Hammack, Tenille Townes, and Elle King.
The 2020 ACM Awards airs Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET on CBS. Entertainers incorporate Luke Combs, Maren Morris, Keith Urban with Pink, and Taylor Swift, denoting her first presentation on the ACMs in quite a while.
