There will also be a performance by the legendary country music star Reba McEntire, who will be hosting the ACM Awards for the seventeenth time. She’s set to perform her new single “I Can’t,” which she sang for the irst time on The Voice earlier this month.
“It’s a little different from anything I’ve done in a while,” McEntire recently told Good Morning America of the song. “So I hope everybody enjoys it.”
This is a truly incredible time for country music, and there’s no better way to celebrate that than by enjoying the ACM Awards. Amazon Prime members and non-prime members alike can watch the ACM Awards for free on Thursday, May 16, at 8 p.m. EDT / 7 p.m. CDT / 5 p.m. PDT.
