ACM Awards 2026 Predictions (Ep. 16)

The 61st ACM Awards return May 17th 8pm/e on Amazon Prime Video, Twitch, and national country radio simulcasts. Despite the 60th ceremony taking place last year, celebs and fans weren't pleased with the turnout. This caused ACM to make internal changes, and diversify 2026's ballot. Before its televised broadcast, I predict how 9 of the awards will result: Music Event of the Year, Song of the Year, Single of the Year, Duo of the Year, Group of the Year, Female Artist of the Year, Male Artist of the Year, Album of the Year, and Entertainer of the Year.
