There\u2019s been so much great music and it\u2019s been such a creative time for artists in our genre. This last year even though no one can tour, some amazing albums and singles have been released so I\u2019m . . . this is like our first real nomination cycle for an award show to come out after a year of COVID, so I\u2019m wondering, like, where the nominations go because it\u2019s just been the weirdest year of the music industry.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The ACM Awards will air live from Nashville\u2019s Grand Ole Opry House, Ryman Auditorium and Bluebird Cafe on Sunday, April 18th at 8 p.m. on CBS.<\/p>\n<p>Maren is also up for a Grammy for Best Country Song for &#8220;The Bones&#8221; at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards.<\/p>\n<p>The song topped the Billboard Hot Country Songs chart for 19 consecutive weeks and was the first solo female multi-week Number One at country radio since 2012.
