Awards

The Academy of Country Music has announced the winners of non-televised awards for the 49th annual ACM Awards, and they include Carrie Underwood, Toby Keith, Merle Haggard, Kris Kristofferson and many other country favorites.

Looking good, Las Vegas! Miranda Lambert and Keith Urban are just two of the huge country acts confirmed as performers for the 2014 ACM Awards in Sin City this April.

The Academy of Country Music announced today the full list of radio award winners that will not be televised due to time constraints during the live telecast of the 49th Annual Academy of Country Music Awards co-hosted by Blake Shelton and Luke Bryan, from the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas Sunday, April 6, 2014 at 8:00 PM live ET/delayed PT on the CBS Television Network...

Odds were good Taylor Swift would take the 2014 Taste of Country Award for Most Heartwarming Moment of 2013. She had two of the five nominations, after all. The star won a record eighth ToC Award, including her second in this category.

Votes have been tallied, and the top three finalists for 2014 ACM New Artist of the Year have been announced!
