Ella Langley shared a reaction on her Instagram story shortly after the Academy of Country Music revealed its list of nominees for the upcoming ACM Awards in its milestone 60th year.
Langley, a first-time ACM nominee, tops the list as the most-nominated artist with eight nods. The “weren’t for the wind” hitmaker is up for Female Artist of the Year and New Female Artist of the Year, plus six nominations for her viral duet with Riley Green, “you look like you love me.”
“Are y’all fakin’ me? Y’all have got to be faking,” Langley said with a scream in a clip she shared on her Instagram story after the nominations were announced on Thursday morning (March 27). She wrote on that slide, “what is life.”
Other artists nominated at the upcoming 60th ACM Awards include Cody Johnson, Morgan Wallen, Lainey Wilson, Chris Stapleton, Post Malone, Kelsea Ballerini, Luke Combs and more. Sixteen-time ACM winner Reba McEntire is returning to host Country Music’s Party of the Year for her 18th time, more than any other artist. Blake Shelton, Eric Church, and reigning Entertainer of the Year Wilson will take the stage during the star-studded show. The event is returning to the world headquarters of the Dallas Cowboys at The Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas. Other performers and presenters will be announced at a later date, the Academy of Country Music confirmed earlier this week. See the full list of 60th ACM Award nominees here.
The 60th ACM Awards will kick off at 8 p.m. ET / 7 p.m. CT / 5 p.m. PT on Thursday, May 8.
