Nominees for the awards ceremony have yet to be announced, highlighting achievements in country music over the past year.

Last year's ceremony featured 15 performances, including tributes to country legends like Toby Keith.

The 2025 ACM Awards will take place on May 8th at 7 p.m. at the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas, marking the third consecutive year at this venue.

Blake Shelton's new single, 'Texas,' will be his first release for Big Loud after years with Warner Nashville.

The Academy of Country Music, founded in 1964, has over 5,000 members and supports the country music community through various initiatives.

The event will celebrate the 10th anniversary of the ACM Awards' first event in North Texas, which took place in 2015 at AT&T Stadium.

Lainey Wilson, who was named Entertainer of the Year in 2024, has expressed the importance of cherishing her career experiences.

Reba McEntire is set to host the event, which celebrates six decades of excellence in country music.

The first performers announced include Blake Shelton, Lainey Wilson, and Eric Church, with Wilson expected to perform songs from her successful album "Whirlwind."

Frisco has become a key location for the ACM Awards due to its welcoming atmosphere and accessibility, according to ACM CEO Damon Whiteside.

This year's ceremony is notable as the first major country awards show of the year, following the cancellation of the CMT Awards.

Fans are eagerly anticipating the ACM Awards, particularly for Blake Shelton's performance, as excitement builds on social media.
