Who are the nominees for the 2023 ACM Awards?

HARDY’s seven nominations make him the 2023 ACM Awards’ most-nominated male performer. As for female vocalist, Lainey Wilson’s six nods place her at the top of that table. Notable too is ACM Triple Crown Award-winner (career Entertainer of the Year, New Artist and Artist category wins) Miranda Lambert passing Reba McEntire as the most nominated Female Artist of the Year nominee in the award program’s history, earning her 17th nomination.

Regarding another potential Triple Crown winner in the making, if either Luke Combs or Chris Stapleton win the Entertainer of the Year trophy, they will clinch that honor.

2022’s ACM Album of the Year winner, Morgan Wallen — HARDY’s Big Loud labelmate — has his first Entertainer of the Year nomination, the ninth ACM nomination of his career.

Also, the chart-topping husband and wife duo Kane and Katelyn Brown are nominated.

2023 will mark Kane’s first-ever nominations for Entertainer of the Year and Male Artist of the Year. The married couple’s single “Thank God” has also received three nominations (Single, Music Event, and Visual Media of the Year). These mark Berklee College of Music grad Katelyn’s first nominations, while these round Kane’s career total to 14 overall.
