On Thursday, February 27th he dropped a new single, was announced as this year&#8217;s host of the ACM Awards for the very first time, and also earned an ACM nomination for Male Artist of the Year.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cAs if having a new song out today wasn\u2019t enough, I also get to host the ACM\u2019s in April. I\u2019ll tell you &#8211; this year already feels like the most creative and energized year of my life . . . and there\u2019s so much more to come. Incredibly grateful &#8211; and ready to roll!\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The new song is called &#8220;God Whispered Your Name,&#8221; and it&#8217;s one Keith did not write, although he said it most definitely tells his personal story.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201c\u2018God Whispered Your Name\u2019 really spoke to me the very first time I heard it. The opening line \u2013 I was so cold and lost\/and nothing seemed to ring true \u2013 God, I know that place so well. At the end of the day if I\u2019m gonna record a song that I didn\u2019t write, like this one, then it\u2019s gonna be a song that speaks to me really strongly, and \u2018God Whispered Your Name\u2019 absolutely spoke to me and tells my journey in such a profound way.&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Keith&#8217;s 2020 also includes 14 concert at Las Vegas\u2019 The Colosseum at Caesars Palace, a European tour this May, and fairs and festivals this summer. He is also expected to release a new album later this year.<\/p>\n<p>The 55th annual ACM Awards will air live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Sunday, April 5th at 8 p.m. on CBS.<\/p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"insta-iframe\" src=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/B9EixZYJ3No\/embed\/captioned\" width=\"auto\" height=\"auto\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><span data-mce-type=\"bookmark\" style=\"display:inline-block; width: 0px; overflow: hidden; line-height:0;\"  class=\"mce_SELRES_start\"><\/span><\/iframe>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Keith Urban is having a big week!
