Kacey Musgraves is gaining a lot of attention with the recent release of her Mercury Records debut album, 'Merry Go Round.' In fact, she seems to be taking the country music world by storm, as she's garnered two 2013 ACM Nominations, including Female Vocalist of the Year and Video of the Year.

If you've been hankering for some new tunes from Hunter Hayes, the wait is almost over. During the 2013 ACM Awards on April 7, the rising country music star has promised to premiere a brand new single for viewers.

The 2013 Academy of Country Music Awards aren't scheduled to air until April 7, but we already know some of the top acts that have won.

The 2013 ACMs just wouldn't be complete without performances from the hottest names in country music, and the Academy of Country Music has just announced new additions to the exciting performance lineup, including Kenny Chesney and Taylor Swift.

Country's funny men Blake Shelton and Luke Bryan are set to co-host the ACM Awards this year, and the duo good-humoredly admit that so far, preparations for the gig haven't been quite as smooth as they might wish -- partly because they're so busy with their separate careers.

The three-time Grammy nominated musician has just garnered six Academy of Country Music Award nominations, becoming the second-most nominated artist this year, right behind Eric Church.

It's official! The nominations for the 48th annual Academy of Country Music awards are in, and Brantley Gilbert and his new fiance Jana Kramer are going up against each another for the New Artist of the Year Award.

Dierks Bentley just made a dream come true for Walmart checker and aspiring country singer Kayla Slone. During the West Virginian's appearance on 'Anderson Live,' Bentley called in to gush about what a fan he is of her voice and to personally invite her to the ACMs in Las Vegas in April, where she will be able to hob-knob with country music's finest.

Country newcomers are both clever and creative in their efforts to get fans to vote for them for those precious and all-important Academy of Country Music Awards. Singer Hunter Hayes, who also nabbed a Grammy nomination, adopted an infinitely stylish way to encourage fans to pony up more ACM votes: he offered up his best impression of James Bond.

If political campaigns were as much fun as ACM New Artist campaigns, Americans would embrace November elections like they do Grandma.
