In the interest of time, award shows often announce some award winners ahead of the actual broadcast. And that’s exactly what happened today, March 26th. The Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards aren’t for another few weeks- April 15th. But three award winners have already been announced. The categories that have already been announced are New Male Vocalist of the Year, New Female Vocalist of the Year and New Vocal Group of the Year.
The ACM’s New Male Vocalist of the Year is Brett Young!
The ACM’s New Vocal Group of the Year is Midland!
The ACM’s New Female Vocalist of the Year is Lauren Alaina!
And it was Lauren Alaina who hit us right in the feels with this video she posted on her social media today when she found out the news from none other than Reba! We’re guessing that makeup she was putting on needed to be touched up or even re-applied!
Like every post, I’ve got to start with a pun. The best thing that has happened to me in my “McEntire” life. Now that that’s out of the way… I won an ACM. AND @reba called to tell me. Today my country-loving heart is exploding. Thank you to my team. This award is for ALL of us pic.twitter.com/K2eiP2ZkeK
