The 2023 ACM Awards took over the Ford Center at the Star in Frisco, Texas on Thursday (May 11) evening, and some of the biggest stars in country music were present for the occasion.
Miranda Lambert, Lainey Wilson, Kane Brown, Gabby Barrett, Chris Young, Jelly Roll, Chase Rice, Old Dominion, Tiera Kennedy, Ashley McBryde, Priscilla Block and more brought their fashion finery to the ACM Awards’ red carpet. Dolly Parton, who is co-hosting the Academy of Country Music Awards with Garth Brooks, naturally brought the glam when she hit the red carpet, too.
Jelly Roll also brought some sleek threads to the 2023 ACMs. In addition to performing at the ACMs, he’s set to perform at Billboard’s first-ever Billboard Country Live event, which takes place in Nashville on June 6-7. Jelly Roll will play at Marathon Music Works on June 6, with Garth Brooks sitting down for an intimate Q&A at the same venue on June 7. Carly Pearce, Bailey Zimmerman, Brian Kelley, Lauren Alaina, Megan Moroney and Lady A’s Hillary Scott will also be part of sessions discussing the hottest issues in country music.
The 2023 ACM Awards take place amidst a major Hollywood writers’ strike, which forced the MTV Movie & TV Awards to broadcast pre-taped and without a host on Sunday, May 7. The ACMs, however, seem set to broadcast live on Amazon Prime Video and Amazon Music channel on Twitch.
The ACM Awards are produced by Dick Clark Productions. DCP is owned by Penske Media Eldridge, a Penske Media Corporation (PMC) subsidiary and joint venture between PMC and Eldridge. PMC is the parent company of Billboard.
