Star-studded collaborations

But that’s not all! The ACM Awards will feature several exciting duets, bringing together some of the biggest names in music.

Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani: The power couple will take the stage together, performing their current single, “Purple Irises.” With six ACM Awards under his belt, Shelton is no stranger to the spotlight, and Stefani’s pop sensibility adds a fresh twist to the country genre.

Kelsea Ballerini and Noah Kahan: Ballerini, a nominee for Album of the Year and Female Artist of the Year, will team up with rising star Noah Kahan. Their duet promises to be a memorable moment during the awards show.

Hosted by Reba McEntire

Country music icon Reba McEntire will host the ACM Awards for the 17th time. Her wit, charm, and love for the genre make her a beloved figure in the country music community. McEntire will not only keep the show running smoothly but will also treat viewers to new music during her performance.

The ACM Awards will stream live globally on Prime Video at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT. And here’s the best part: no Prime membership is required to enjoy the Party of the Year.
