Keith Urban, Mickey Guyton have chemistry as ACM hosts
Associated PressNASHVILLE, Tennessee — The 2021 Academy of Country Music Awards will host a very special crowd who will finally get to see live music performances again. Their collaborative performance on last year’s ACM Awards show in September, where they sang Guyton’s “Black Like Me,” got the attention of the show’s organizers. Guyton has achieved a number of firsts in the last year, becoming the first Black solo woman to be nominated for a Grammy in the country category for “Black Like Me” and the first Black woman to host the ACM Awards. “I’m grateful and I take this responsibility very seriously.” Leading nominees include Maren Morris, Chris Stapleton and Luke Combs; the latter two are vying for entertainer of the year alongside Eric Church, Luke Bryan and Thomas Rhett, who won the honor in a tie last year with Carrie Underwood. Kane Brown won video of the year for his song “Worldwide Beautiful,” and Carly Pearce and Lee Brice won music event of the year for their duet “I Hope You’re Happy Now.” Performers include Miranda Lambert with Elle King, Kenny Chesney, Alan Jackson, Blake Shelton, Morris with her husband Ryan Hurd and Underwood with CeCe Winans.
