It is not so far off when the last edition of the ACM Awards took place in 2020. The fans are too ecstatic to enjoy the star-studded show once it happens this year.
Last time, the ACM Awards 2020 was held in September but it was scheduled to be held in April at the beginning. Later, it has been postponed because of the Covid-19 pandemic.
However, in 2021, the show is adjusted back to its previous schedule, and the traditional run date of ACM is maintained by shifting it back to the middle of April. The event is likely to take place slightly differently which the fans are used to because of the regulations imposed due to social distancing. The ACM was very much ready to deliver despite the pandemic and the exciting evening is packed with a lot of actions. It has to be rated as the Party for Country Music but some reason, this has not happened.
For the first time, Taylor Swift performed at the event in 2013. Mickey Guyton gave a solo performance at the prestigious stage of ACM Awards as the first Black Female Artist. The category of the Entertainer of the Year was shared between Thomas Rhett and Carrie Underwood for the very first time in the history of ACM and it was a tie.
The news outlets are all set to give an epic performance in 2021 with curve-ball surprises and well-deserved wins.
On 18th April, Sunday, the ACM Awards for 2021 will take place. It is a move back to the original run date because the annual event was forced to be postponed to September in 2020 from April due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Time-wise, the ACM Awards are right back in their normal schedule but the location is still affected very much by the pandemic. The award show was slated to be held in Nashville in early February and it is slated to take place in three of the best legendary stages in Music City that are the Ryman Auditorium, the Bluebird Café, and Grand Ole Opry House.
It is a continuity of proceedings from 2020 as the show is typically held in Las Vegas, Nev., but for the safety of the artists and also social distancing, the event has been shifted to Music City and it has been spread across all three different venues.
The ACM Award 2021 will be aired on CBS at 8 pm EST. The event will be aired by the showrunners from three different venues but all the winner announcements and performances can be watched on CBS, irrespective of the stage.
Announcements regarding the Red Carpet of the award are still not announced for this year. There was no red carpet event in the year 2020 because of the pandemic.
The host of the show is still not announced but last year, the show was hosted by Keith Urban and the award show was helmed by the Grand Ole Opry House stage.
The Brothers Osborne and Kelesea Ballerini appeared on CBS and announced the Entertainer of the Year nominees along with other categories like Single of the Year, Group of the Year, Duo of the Year, Male Artist of the Year, and also the Female Artist of the Year.
Morgan Wallen was a frontrunner who can be nominated in the award show for his single ‘More Than My Hometown’ and a recently released double album. But due to a racial slur used by him, the ACM has ruled him out. But there are no predictions about the winners, as it cannot be done in advance.
The voting procedure of the ACM Awards 2021 is about to start by following the necessary parameters. No announcement came regarding who is going to perform at the award show. The list of the stars and artists for presenting the award this year is still to be revealed and it will be done by the Academy of Country Music. Fans will not be able to purchase tickets for the show due to pandemics as the media will not attend the show either. The media will be part of the press room backstage and the coverage of the red carpet will be done virtually. Only the artists, presenters, nominees, and performers will attend the show. The Party for a Cause by the ACM was canceled in 2020 because of the pandemic when it has been postponed and there has been no word about this in 2021 also.
