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.
