Shania Twain to Host ACM Awards in Vegas

Shania Twain is returning to Las Vegas to host the 61st Academy of Country Music Awards on May 17. The ceremony will take place at the MGM Grand Garden Arena and will be broadcast live on Prime Video.

This event will be Twain's first time hosting the ACM Awards, but she is no stranger to leading major country music ceremonies, having hosted the People's Choice Country Awards in 2024. Twain expressed her excitement about hosting in Las Vegas, a city where she has previously held three successful residencies.

This year's ACM Awards nominations notably feature a strong showing from women. Megan Moroney leads with nine nominations, followed closely by Miranda Lambert with eight. Other leading female nominees include Ella Langley and Lainey Wilson. The article also mentions that while women are recognized in nominations, this doesn't necessarily reflect increased radio airplay.

The 61st ACM Awards are expected to feature performances from prominent artists such as Kacey Musgraves, Lainey Wilson, and Miranda Lambert, among others, celebrating the biggest stars in country music.
