The 2020 ACM Awards are this Wednesday (Sept. 16) right here in Nashville. The show was postponed from its original April date due to COVID-19 and it was moved from its usual Las Vegas location to Music City.
Keith Urban will serve as the host this year for the first time ever with the show being broadcast from three Nashville venues (Grand Ole Opry, Ryman Auditorium and Bluebird Cafe). Performers have already been announced and we’re already learning of early winners.
Check out the list below to see who is nominated for what — and who wins. Be sure to tune in for the 2020 ACM Awards on Sept. 16 at 7 PM CST and follow us on Twitter for all the action live!
