The 59th annual ACM Awards announced their official host for this year’s show.
Reba McEntire has officially been selected to host the 59th Academy of Country Music Awards on Thursday, May 16 at 7 p.m. CST. The show will also stream live exclusively for a global audience on Prime Video from Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas.
This years show will mark the 17th time that McEntire has been asked to host the show. The 16-time ACM winner is also set to perform some brand new music of hers. I mean she knows what she’s doing.
Reba is obviously excited and she said, “I am tickled to pieces to get to host the ACM Awards for the 17th time. What an honor to have been part of the past, present and now the future of the Academy of Country Music with Amazon Prime Video. I can’t wait to get to Texas and see everybody May 16th!”
ACM CEO Damon Whiteside said, “we are thrilled for the homecoming of Reba to the ACM Awards stage for the 17th time. There is simply no one better to continue to elevate this show in our new global streaming era with Amazon Prime Video. No one has a deeper and richer history with the Academy than Reba, from her many years hosting the ACM Awards, and from her 16 ACM Awards wins including Entertainer of the Year and two ACM anniversary Milestone Awards. With exciting new music coming, extensive television presence and a worldwide fanbase, Reba’s back and better than ever!”
