Here are some of the nominees for 56th Academy of Country Music Awards
Maren Morris, Lady A, Thomas Rhett and more country stars are nominated for the top honors at the 56th Academy of Country Music Awards, broadcast from Nashville, Tennessee on Sunday, April 18 on CBS and Paramount+.
Award-winning singer-songwriter Kelsea Ballerini and country music duo Brothers Osborne joined "CBS This Morning" Friday to announce some of the highly-anticipated award categories.
Because of COVID-19 safety measures, the star-studded event will be shown live from three of Nashville's historic venues: the Grand Ole Opry House, the Ryman Auditorium and the Bluebird Cafe.
The same three locations were used to broadcast the 55th Academy of Country Music Awards, hosted by Keith Urban, after being postponed from April until September because of the pandemic.
