Lady Antebellum Lead ACM Nominations


It's been a good 12 months for country trio Lady Antebellum. They've scored multiple #1 hit country singles, a platinum album, a Grammy, and now they're up for a leading 7 Academy of Country Music Awards.

The group scored 5 nominations for the cross-over hit "Need You Now", earning nods in the record, song, and video of the year categories, as well as vocal group and album of the year.

Not far behind Lady A is Carrie Underwood and Miranda Lambert who both scored 6 nods apiece. Underwood is up for Entertainer of the Year, which she won last year. If she pulls back-to-back wins she'd be the first woman in history to do so.

Others acts in the running for Entertainer of the year include Kenny Chesney (who's won 4 times already), Taylor Swift, Brad Paisley, The Zac Brown Band, George Strait, Keith Urban, and Toby Keith (ugh.)

Look for the race to be between Underwood, Swift, and Chesney. I wouldn't be surprised if Taylor took the top prize!!
