The List for Thursday, April 15th 2021

Welcome to The List,

Award season is in the air and everyone is talking about the ACM Awards…Looking forward to some exciting performances, history making events and Eric Church, he’s going as the reigning CMA Entertainer of the year “I felt a responsibility, I know what that award means to the format; I know what that means historically, and I tried to live up to that. That nomination means more to me now than it probably ever has, because we’ve won. ”

Carly Pearce is nominated for the ACM  Female Artist of the Year Award…and she talks about her feelings on it. “I think about the dreams that I’ve had of being nominated in this category. I think as a woman in country music, if you grew up the way that I did, wanting this so badly, you dreamt of your name being called in that. And so I truly am not just saying this. I feel like I’ve already won just being in those five.” The ACM Awards air this Sunday on CBS
