\nElla Langley has conquered not just the country world but the music world generally this year with her song \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas.\u201d But for the producers of the Academy of Country Music Awards, this year\u2019s show is all about choosin\u2019 Vegas. Certainly no fight is being picked with the Lone Star state, where the ACM Awards were held the previous three years. For the 61st annual telecast, though, the powers-that-be wanted the show to get back to its roots\u2026 and in this case, and maybe this case alone, country music rootsiness means the Las Vegas Strip.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe 2026 ACMs run exclusively on Prime Video, Amazon Music and Amazon\u2019s Twitch channel from 8-10:30 ET and 5-7:30 PT, with live availability around the globe.<\/p>\n

\n\tThere\u2019s a long story behind the ACM\u2019s associations with the west coast, from the org\u2019s founding in L.A. six decades ago to its history of being broadcast mostly out of Las Vegas since the turn of the century. But more than these historic factors, there are practical ones, like how a lot of the artists would rather get on a plane to Vegas than to Dallas, and how some of them already feel at home from having residencies there. The visual and aesthetic possibilities for tying the show in with Vegas are rich, and in a year when global superstar Shania Twain is hosting the ACMs for a first time, it makes some sense to embrace the sense of country\/casino crossover that she has embodied longer and better than anyone else.<\/p>\n

\n\tExecutive producer and showrunner Raj Kapoor, whom you might also know from the Grammys and Oscars (he has signed on for the 2027 edition of that show), has his own background in the meeting of this twain, so to speak.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI had actually worked on Shania\u2019s first Vegas residency when she returned back here, and her ties are so deep with multiple residencies there now,\u201d Kapoor points out. \u201cShe has rehearsed some of her tours in Las Vegas. She absolutely loves and has become part of the fabric of the city because she goes to see every show and concert and every hockey game. So, with her being the bestselling female artist of all time in country, collectively we thought she was a perfect fit. She had not hosted the ACMs before\u201d \u2014 Twain\u2019s only previous hosting gig was the People\u2019s Choice Awards \u2014 \u201cbut we love working with icons. We loved working with Reba, Dolly and Garth, and there\u2019s only so many huge names that we can go to, so Shania for us was top of the list. It\u2019s a rare occurrence that Shania has new music out in the marketplace, too\u201d (she put out a new single Friday), \u201cso it was perfect timing for us.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tBut there\u2019s no perfect timing quite like the perfect timing of having a country music awards show happen at the exact moment when a rising star, Ella Langley, has the top two songs in the U.S., as \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d sits at No. 1 and \u201cBe Her\u201d is at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, a historic first for country on that all-genre ranking. Country also has four of the top 10 albums on the Billboard 200 (Langley\u2019s \u201cDandelion,\u201d Kacey Musgraves\u2019 \u201cMiddle of Nowhere\u201d and two by Morgan Wallen). To say that country music is having a moment might sound silly when it hasn\u2019t not been having a moment in such a long time, but Langley is extending its reach further still into pop fans\u2019 brains right now.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cShe is on a rocket launch to space,\u201d says Patrick Menton, a fellow executive producer of th eACMs. \u201cElla is not only an incredible artist \u2014 musically, lyrically, incredible songwriter \u2014 but she\u2019s also just wonderful to be around. Sunday night she\u2019s doing a really cool, brand new take on a song of hers that no one will have ever heard before.\u201d They won\u2019t say which, though an ACMs-bespoke arrangement of \u201cChoosin\u2019 Texas\u201d sounds like a strong possibility from the hints\u2026 although \u201cBe Her\u201d is also such a monster at the moment that few would be disappointed if that turned out to be the pick. \u201cShe\u2019s put a lot of time and and heart into it. We love working with Ella. And to think about it, she was our ACM New Female Artist just last year, and to see what has happened with the artistry, the public reaction, the streams, the sales, and being one of the biggest nominees going into Sunday night, it\u2019s crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThere is some craziness to go around, if you have a thing for female country artists \u2014 as the ACM voters seem to, almost in reverse disproportion to the percentages they manage on country radio. There are four female superstars who are especially well-represented in this year\u2019s nominations: Megan Moroney leads the pack with nine, followed by Miranda Lambert with eight and Langley and Lainey Wilson with seven each. (The next runners-up are Chris Stapleton with six nods, Zach Top with five, and Riley Green and Cody Johnson with four apiece.)<\/p>\n

\n\tThree of those four commanding women will have spotlight performances on the show. Moroney will not be in Las Vegas at all; she announced on her Instagram that she is tied up out of the country, acting as maid of honor in a best friend\u2019s wedding. But Wilson, the ACMs\u2019 defending entertainer of the year, will open the telecast with her latest single, the rocker \u201cCan\u2019t Sit Still.\u201d And the \u201ccrazy ex-girlfriend\u201d herself, Lambert \u2014 who happens to be nominated for co-writing Langley\u2019s breakthrough single, as well as her own recorded efforts \u2014 will be doing the live debut of \u201cCrisco.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cMiranda Lambert is going more disco because her upcoming album is more disco-country-flavored,\u201d says Damon Whiteside, the outgoing CEO of the Academy and also an executive producer, \u201cso we\u2019re gonna have some fun with those themes with her, which will be something people have never seen.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe concluding performer of the show will be Blake Shelton. \u201cWe\u2019re kinda keeping it a little bit under wraps, but he\u2019s gonna be doing a classic song that everybody will get up and sing along to,\u201d promises Whiteside. Kapoor will only say, \u201cIt\u2019s one of the most beloved songs I think that\u2019s ever been written in country music.\u201d Gwen Stefani has been announced as a performer, so laying odds on her being a part of the closer might be a safe bet.<\/p>\n

\n\tMusgraves has not had a big presence on country music awards shows since she began a turn toward folk-pop with her \u201cGolden Hour\u201d album eight years ago, but her new \u201cMiddle of Nowhere\u201d album marks a decided turn back toward pure country in some musical and visual regards, so her presence on the ACMs is big news. Although \u201cLoneliest Girl\u201d is the song that\u2019s being promoted to country radio right now, she\u2019ll be doing her infamous track about being the most-celibate-but-horniest girl, the raucous \u201cDry Spell.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tOther performers include Zach Top, Cody Johnson, Kane Brown, the Red Clay Strays, Thomas Rhett, Jordan Davis, Dan + Shay, Avery Anna, Carter Faith, Lee Ann Womack, Little Big Town, Parker McCollum, and Tucker Wetmore.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe have 17 performances. I mean, it is back-to-back,\u201d says Menton. \u201cI still don\u2019t know how we make these turnarounds. God bless our stage management team.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThat\u2019s 17 performances in just two and a half hours, or about 30-45 minutes less than pretty much any other music awards show. Being able to shave a half-hour or more off the usual running time is a function of being a streaming-only show that isn\u2019t beholden to all the commercials of a network show.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe ACMs were the first such major show to go with a streamer instead of one of the traditional big three. At the time, it seemed like a gamble, but with Kapoor\u2019s Oscars gig set to happen on YouTube now, no one will doubt that they were on to something.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI feel like we were a little bit of the guinea pig, because our first year was in 2022,\u201d says Whiteside. \u201cWe\u2019d been on broadcast television since the \u201970s, so it was a big, big change. But this is now gonna be our fifth year on Prime Video. It\u2019s been definitely a learning experience, and I feel like we\u2019ve really learned and grown together, like our company working with them. The first year was really eye-opening. It was not easy because we had to really rethink the show format; that first year, we didn\u2019t have any commercials at all. So, typically with an award show, you at least have breaks so that you can reset stages and you can get bands on and off, and you\u2019ve got some transition time. But we had no stops. And it was also two hours instead of three hours, so it was also an hour shorter for fans. Over the last four years it\u2019s evolved. Now, we do have some commercial breaks, but they\u2019re still minuscule compared to broadcast, so it kind of just gives us enough time to have a little bit of buffer. But from a fan perspective, it\u2019s great because it\u2019s just wall-to-wall music.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tLast year they went from two to two-and-a-half hours, and will continue that this year. Whiteside admits that some viewers found the two-hour format too short\u2026 one of the few times that\u2019s ever been said of an awards show. \u201cIt was very almost shocking at first, like, \u2018Wait, it\u2019s over? What? We have that whole hour of our life back that normally an awards show has.\u2019 This year will be two and a half hours, but still a majority of that is real \u2014 true content versus commercials \u2014 so it still feels a lot tighter and shorter.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tHow themed to Vegas will it be? \u201cIt\u2019s not necessarily themed<\/em>, but I think there\u2019s a lot of great moments that will make people feel like we are actually celebrating that city, now that we are back at the MGM Grand,\u201d says Kapoor. \u201cEven what we did with Carter Faith \u2014 she did a great rendition of \u2018Let\u2019s Go to Vegas,\u2019 the Faith Hill classic, and we used that a lot for our promos. So just little nods to Vegas throughout the evening, including even some really fun presenter moments that are going to happen with artists that are part of the Vegas landscape. The way the whole stage and room is designed will have a little nod to the Vegas experience I think we are bringing to the ACMs. The party is back; the celebration is back.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe actually loved being in Texas too,\u201d Kapoor affirms. \u201cSo it was kind of an embarrassment of riches\u201d choosing between the two. \u201cWe loved our time in Frisco, and the audiences there, the response from the community, the support of the Dallas Cowboys organization\u2026 we had a fantastic time. But we turned 60, and it was time to have a new chapter again. The artists absolutely love being back in Vegas. A few of them even have bars in Vegas now. And then actually the whole dressing room area and how artists interact with each other, it does become a really fun party, and I think the parties continue long into the night after the ACMs wrap up.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nParty<\/em> is unapologetically the operative word for the ACMs, even down to the extent that many of the awards are being announced prior to airtime, to have few speeches on the show when that time could be used for music. Whiteside says the not-standing-on-ceremony aspect is part of the Academy\u2019s roots.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cObviously with the organization being founded in Southern California, the whole mission of the organization originally was about supporting West Coast country music. So from that perspective, it\u2019s kinda nice to still have a footprint for for the organization and a presence out on the West Coast, where we can really pull from a lot of those states out there, like California and Arizona and states around Nevada,\u201d Whiteside says. \u201cEspecially since now our headquarters are in Nashville, it allows us to keep a close proximity to our roots, to our origin of being a Southern California-based organization. So, that part\u2019s really fun.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe DNA of our show \u2014 and the organization, frankly \u2014 has always been that we\u2019re the renegade organization. That was kind of how it was formed back in the \u201960s. It was formed to be a little left of center. And so we\u2019ve always just been, I think, been able to just make our show feel more like a party. So I think it just fits so well with Vegas just because of the way the show feels. Through the years we\u2019ve had a lot of crossover artists involved, and so iVegas just feels like a really good home that fits with the DNA of the organization.\u201d<\/p>\n
