Yahoo is using AI to generate takeaways from this article. This means the info may not always match what's in the article. Reporting mistakes helps us improve the experience. Generate Key Takeaways Everyone should be celebrating Cody Johnson at the 60th annual Academy of Country Music Awards, going into the award show tied with Morgan Wallen for the most nominations of any male artist this year: Entertainer of the Year, Male Artist of the Year, Song of the Year for 'Dirt Cheap," Single of the Year for 'Dirt Cheap," and Musical Event of the Year for 'I'm Gonna Love You' (featuring Carrie Underwood). As if things could not get more impressive, the Texas native is competing against himself in the Visual Media of the Year category, nominated for both 'Dirt Cheap" and 'I'm Gonna Love You' (featuring Carrie Underwood). With his impressive amount of nominations aside, Johnson will also be taking the stage tomorrow night (May 8) in his home state — as the award show will take place at the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas — performing alongside Brooks & Dunn. Ahead of the soon-to-be sensational performance, the talented singer/songwriter stopped by media row to tease the performance, delving into the details while speaking with Country Now. For those who are unfamiliar, Johnson has collaborated with Kix Brooks and Ronnie Dunn on numerous occasions, joining forces to record a new rendition of 'Red Dirt Road" for Brooks & Dunn's Reboot album, prior to joining forces for a second time to record 'Long Live Country Music' for Johnson's Leather album. According to the "The Painter" singer, his relationship with Brooks & Dunn began "when [he] got asked to be on the Reboot album, which was extremely cool." Johnson reminisced, "I believe we played outdoors at, I think it was CMA Fest downtown on Broadway in Nashville, and then just started kind of exchanging phone numbers, talking about projects and songs... Ronnie's hit me up several times like 'What do you think about this song?' and that's actually how I got 'Long Live Country Music.'' Since then, Johnson has "been able to pick up the phone and call Ronnie or Kix anytime of day or night and ask questions or get some advice," deeming Brooks & Dunn — who have second-most ACM Awards in history with 30 — to be his "heroes." How sweet is that? Nevertheless, Johnson will get the chance to share the stage with said "heroes," giving attendees at the 2025 ACM Awards a glimpse into Reboot with their rendition of 'Red Dirt Road.' The 37-year-old teased, 'I think my favorite part of playing 'Red Dirt Road' with Brooks & Dunn is the fact that it's not the original, that it's kind of a broken down acoustic thing. All the guitar signatures are different, and me and my band play it every now and then on stage, just us, so it kind of feels like it's part of our career now, so I think that's my favorite part of it.' The ACM Awards themselves even teased the performance, sharing a video via TikTok of the three country stars spending some time together backstage. "Walking into #ACMawards rehearsals like," the caption reads, tagging both acts. To see the performance for yourself — as well as performances from Kelsea Ballerini, Eric Church, Alan Jackson, Miranda Lambert, Ella Langley, Megan Moroney, Chris Stapleton, Blake Shelton, Zach Top, Lainey Wilson and more — tune into the the 2025 ACM Awards, hosted by Reba McEntire for the 18th time, tomorrow at 8pm ET/5pm PT via Prime Video, as well as the Amazon Music channel via Twitch.

‘I Walked to the Q With a Bounce in My Step and a Twinkle in My Eyes'
Jimmie Dale Mood Dear Diary: I woke up at 6:30 a.m. in a Jimmie Dale Gilmore mood and was soon playing his song 'I'm Gonna Love You' on repeat. Two hours later, still listening to Jimmie through my earbuds, I walked to the Q with a bounce in my step and a twinkle in my eyes. My joyful mood must have been unmistakable. A handsome younger man boarded the train and stood beside me, flashing a big smile. A few minutes into the ride, he asked what I was listening to. I told him. 'You look happy,' he said. 'Are you headed to the gym?' I wondered why he would ask that. Did I look fit? Or like I needed a workout? Nope. Foot doctor. Achilles tendinitis. He offered me sympathy, and suggestions. I asked where he was going. 'To the gym,' he said. 'In the city.' 'Wow, that's a commitment, crossing the river from Brooklyn just to work out,' I said. 'I live in the city,' he said. 'I was visiting my parents.' And then this: 'They're old, in their 60s, so I try to spend time with them weekly.' Wait. What did he just say? I politely informed him that I was 64 and would soon be starting Medicare. He graciously said he never would have guessed. I had even more bounce in my step as Jimmie and I exited the train and began to limp off toward the foot doctor. — Susan Jacobs Familiar Face Dear Diary: Walking along 23rd Street, I encountered a man unloading a soda truck at the curb. He looked very familiar. 'I know you,' he said when he saw me. It was true. I knew him too, but from where? We couldn't figure it out. 'Are you Alonzo's father?' I said. 'No,' he replied. 'Were you sitting next to me at the Yankees game last week?' 'No,' I said. 'I'm a Mets fan. I never go to the Stadium.' It was clear, to me at least, that we knew each other fairly well and had seen each other relatively recently. But after standing there for probably 10 minutes exchanging ideas about where we had met, we finally shook hands and gave up. About a week later, I was going through some papers and came across a notice for the jury duty service I had rendered several months ago. Immediately the soda delivery man's face popped into my head. He had been the jury foreman. — Vernon Hamilton Peanuts Dear Diary: I talked to a mailman who was on his route in Carroll Gardens, Brooklyn, after seeing him feed a peanut in the shell to a squirrel. I told him I like to do that, too. 'Yeah,' the mailman said, 'but he follows me, my whole route, every day.' He gave the squirrel another peanut and they went on their way. — John Metcalf Service Call Dear Diary: I called for a repair for my gas oven and was able to arrange a service call for late the next day. When the technician arrived at my Chelsea apartment, he was very careful to protect the floors. He put paper booties over his shoes while he was in the hall and carried his bulky tool bag into the kitchen rather than rolling it. He listened patiently to my diagnosis of the problem and to my offers to be helpful. 'I've got this,' he said, politely cutting me off and turning away to get to work. I went into the other room. About 20 minutes later, he called for me and demonstrated that everything was working before putting the stove back together. When he was done, he called me back again and explained the warranty. Then, as it was the end of the day and his last call, we started to chat. He pointed to a Rubik's Cube sitting on my counter and asked whether I minded if he picked it up. Not at all, I said. I didn't have a clue about how to do it and had only acquired it to see whether I could figure it out. 'I love these things,' he said. He proceeded to inspect, rotate and twirl the sides over and over while I watched. 'See, I've got this side,' he said, 'and now I've got to get this one.' It took him about eight minutes to finish. 'That's beautiful,' I said. 'Now teach me.' 'No,' he said, shaking his head. 'That would take too long.' Still, it was a nice bonus to an appliance repair service call. — Tom Sawyer Neighborhood Grocery Dear Diary: It was 1987. I had just moved to New York from Texas. I loved going to small neighborhood grocery stores in the city. They were so different from the huge suburban ones I was used to. One day, when I was in Grace's Marketplace on the Upper East Side, I overheard a customer addressing the man behind the counter. 'Do you have fresh escargot?' the customer said. 'No,' the counterman said. 'But we have snails in a can.' — Kate Marcus Read all recent entries and our submissions guidelines. Reach us via email diary@ or follow @NYTMetro on Twitter.

Carrie Underwood and Cody Johnson's duet earns ACM Awards nods: What to know, how to watch
Iconic Oklahoman Carrie Underwood and talented Texan Cody Johnson are continuing to feel the love for their smash duet 'I'm Gonna Love You." After reaching the top spot at country radio earlier this month, the ballad earned the country music stars two nods when the nominations for the 60th Academy of Country Music Awards were revealed Thursday morning. For "I'm Gonna Love You," which the chart-topping pair performed together last fall on the rival Country Music Association Awards, Johnson and Underwood are nominated for Music Event of the Year and Visual Media of the Year at this spring's ACM Awards. Written by Chris Stevens, Kelly Archer and Travis Denning, "I'm Gonna Love You" has garnered more than 200 million global streams. One of this year's top ACM Awards nominees, Johnson also earned his second nomination for Entertainer of the Year, and it's his third year in a row to be nominated for Song of the Year, this time with his chart-topper 'Dirt Cheap," which is also nominated for Single of the Year and Visual Media of the Year. Between "I'm Gonna Love You" and "Dirt Cheap," Johnson is competing against himself in the Visual Media category. Along with Underwood, a few other Oklahomans nabbed nominations for the the 2025 ACM Awards: Recently reunited band Rascal Flatts — singer Gary LeVox, multi-instrumentalist Jay DeMarcus and guitarist Joe Don Rooney, who hails from Picher — received their first nomination for Group of the Year since 2017. The multiplatinum-selling trio most recently won Group of the Year in 2009; it was their seventh win in the category. Country Music Hall of Famers Brooks & Dunn — Louisiana native Kix Brooks and former Tulsan Ronnie Dunn — are nominated for ACM Duo of the Year, a category the pair has won a record-breaking 16 times. The longtime stars snapped up a surprising, history-making 15th win in the Duo of the Year category at last year's CMA Awards. Tulsa native Ryan Tedder is nominated as one of the producers on Jelly Roll's hit country album "Beautifully Broken." Other producers on the project include BazeXX, Brock Berryhill, Zach Crowell, Devin Dawson, Charlie Handsome, Ben Johnson, mgk, The Monsters & Strangerz, Austin Nivarel, SlimXX, Isaiah Tejada and Alysa Vanderheym. Among the ACM industry awards, Tulsa's iconic century-old venue Cain's Ballroom is nominated for Club of the Year. First-time nominee Ella Langley leads the 2025 ACM Awards field with eight nominations, including Female Artist of the Year, New Female Artist of the Year and six nominations for her hit with Riley Green, 'you look like you love me:" Single of the Year, Song of the Year as an artist and songwriter, Music Event of the Year, and Visual Media of the Year as an artist and director. Tied with Johnson with seven ACM nods are hitmakers Morgan Wallen, who garnered his third consecutive nomination for Entertainer of the Year, and Lainey Wilson, who is also nominated for Entertainer of the Year after winning the ACM's top prize last year. Chris Stapleton scored six nominations, including his 10th consecutive nod for Male Artist of the Year, a prize he's won four times in the past, including at last year's ACM Awards. This year's ACM Award will celebrate six decades of country music, and it's billed as featuring "unforgettable performances by the genre's most legendary and multi-award-winning stars." Oklahoma superstar, six-time ACM Award winner and former ACM Awards host Blake Shelton, who has a rising top 10 single in 'Texas,' is among the first round of performers announced for the 60th ACM Awards. Also among the the confirmed performers are reigning Entertainer of the Year and 12-time ACM Award recipient Wilson and seven-time ACM Award recipient Eric Church, who will perform on the heels of the debut of his new album "Evangeline Vs. The Machine," due out May 2. Oklahoma native and 16-time ACM Award-winning entertainment icon Reba McEntire is returning to host the 60th ACM Awards. The Country Music Hall of Famer, who hails from Chockie, hosted the star-studded show for a record 17th time last year. She capped the 2024 ACM Awards by announcing she would return for the 2025 edition. The 60th ACM Awards will stream live exclusively on Prime Video at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 8, from Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas. The Amazon stream is expected to reach a global audience across 240-plus countries and territories. A limited number of tickets to the 60th ACM Awards are available at SeatGeek.

Cody Johnson, joined by Luke Combs, Carrie Underwood, energizes Bridgestone Arena crowd
On Saturday evening, 2024 Country Music Association Album of the Year winner Cody Johnson performed for the second of two sold-out nights at Nashville's Bridgestone Arena. During a performance that never stopped feeling like cowboy lifestyle anthems turned up to 11, he was joined by artists, including Luke Combs, Carrie Underwood and Ian Munsick. Grammy winner Ashley McBryde and 2024 country chart-topper Drew Baldridge opened the evening's festivities. Johnson's energy never waned, driving the crowd to wild appreciation of his work. Thus, it offered another clearly defined goal. One could believe that the "Leather" album vocalist is on the road to joining Texas-born and countrified performers, like Post Malone and George Strait in recent years, to potentially putting a Resistol hat-wearing fan in every seat of Nissan Stadium. Johnson currently has a top 10 country radio collaboration with Underwood, "I'm Gonna Love You." Combs and the performer have no official duets, but one glance at last week's Mediabase country charts shows that Combs' Post Malone duet "Guy For That" is one spot above CoJo's work with Underwood. Being just out of reach of another marker of peerless acclaim, being nominated for or winning either the Academy of Country Music or Country Music Association's Entertainer of the Year award, is also now clearly on Johnson's mind. Underwood has ACM wins in 2009 and 2010, while Combs has CMA victories in 2021 and 2022. "I want you to know that there was a time when I thought this dream wouldn't happen ... that's why I'm leaving it all here on the stage," Johnson told his crowd of die-hard supporters. Notably, Johnson's supporters are the type of people who love the United States of America, cold beer, Copenhagen smokeless tobacco, fishing for largemouth bass, going to the rodeo and being able to sing George Jones' entire musical catalog or Jerry Reed's "Eastbound and Down" by heart while partying in honky-tonks. Johnson also opened the show by performing his "Leather" album anthem, "That's Texas" and the outline of the Lone Star State was tattooed over his heart. That was symbolic of a more significant theme of the evening. Southern and Western cultural and musical traditions were sung to as unwritten codes of life as law. Thus, choruses that felt like beatified platitudes are instead much more realities that define core core existences. To wit, openers Drew Baldridge and Ashley McBryde represented how transmitting grit via equal parts power and panache speaks well to the demographic of people in Bridgestone Arena on Saturday evening. Two months ago, McBryde released "Ain't Enough Cowboy Songs" because of a belief that the shiny idealism attached to a diligent work ethic had worn dull in America. Couple that with 2022's hilarious "Brenda Put Your Bra On" and 2023's stellar ballad "Light On In The Kitchen" being filled with time-tested middle American roots-driven aphorisms and the deservedly well-regarded live performer is onto something. At various points of her career, McBryde's been deservedly well regarded for doing so much, so right. However, it's in this chapter of her career in which she's a newly-minted Grand Ole Opry member where her ability to sing as if the culture that surrounds country music — which ultimately doubles as one that governs much of American life — can solve everything. Insofar as Baldridge, consider the same 13 years it took him to gain, lose, then regain and supersede his footing in mainstream country music as a No. 1 artist via 2024's "She's Somebody's Daughter." It is the same amount of time it took McBryde to gain and then expand her reach as a 2023 Grammy winner with Carly Pearce for "Never Wanted To Be That Girl." Like McBryde, he's an Illinois-born Midwesterner rooted in traditions that double as rules of law and life. Thus, singing his new radio anthem, "Tough People," sounds like it all rings authentically true. The evening's biggest superstar was Johnson's voice. Though he perpetually demurred away from the notion, he's a starched pearl-snap shirt and cowboy hat-clad tent revivalist who, in vibe, comes off as if he has a lot in common with the "Rattlesnake Preacher" Ashley McBryde sang about to open her set. Bridgestone Arena is an enormous tent. Five minutes into the set, Johnson's crowd of followers began singing along to him. Thus, when he launched into 2019's "Nothin' on You" and his band, the Rockin' CJB, laid deep into soulful vibes reminiscent of Chris Stapleton's take on "Tennessee Whiskey" and Keith Urban's "Blue Ain't Your Color," Johnson as a crooner arrived on the scene. As a crooner, Johnson may have one of the underrated best vocal styles in music overall. When he grounds his feet and sets his mind to it, he unleashes a stunning instrument that leaves his crowd in awe. Head longer into his set and when Ian Munsick, Carrie Underwood and Luke Combs, three other uniquely top-tier vocal stylists, aided Johnson onstage, the broader value of the connective power of his artistry became apparent. In the past five years, Johnson's made a savvy effort to open the door of his writing room to quality songs from Nashville writers. When "Nashville writer" means Wyoming native Munsick and the song in question is the prairie-borne love song "Long Live Cowgirls," it's an instant classic. When "Nashville collaborator" becomes CoJo's dream choice of working with Underwood, it's the belt-buckled belter "I'm Gonna Love You," a surefire chart-topping performance that also doubles as offering an honest and sustainable adult contemporary crossover road to continued success. Johnson's second encore saw country music's most beloved bearded, bottle-swilling and barrel-bodied cousin, Luke Combs, hit the stage. He and Johnson singing "Beer Never Broke My Heart" doubled down on the evening serving as the coronation of yet another uniquely peerless superstar to country's mainstream scene. Johnson's superstardom will sustain itself because he embodies a culture and genre bigger than his Texas-tattooed heart.
