Carrie Speaks About ACM Nominations

Feb 12

“I am so humbled and blessed with the recognition of these nominations by my fellow artists and the country music community,” says Underwood. “My band, crew, and everyone on my team have worked so hard the past year with my first big tour, so the Entertainer nomination is especially rewarding for all of us. I think I’m still in shock!”

Underwood is the first solo female artist to be nominated in the ACM Entertainer of The Year category since 2000. Women who have won the Entertainer of The Year award in the past include Loretta Lynn (1975), Dolly Parton (1977), Barbara Mandrell (1980), Reba McEntire (1994), Shania Twain (1999), and Dixie Chicks (2000).

Underwood is a six-time ACM winner including a two-year reign as Top Female Vocalist. The 44th Annual ACM Awards will broadcast live from MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas on Sunday, April 5, 2009 at 8:00pm live ET on the CBS Television Network.

That is so awesome. She deserves to win. She has worked so hard this past year. She also deserves the Best Female Vocal award.

theres no one better at this moment than her..the girl got it all!

felicidades!!

Carrie deserves everything she has accomplished in the past few years! she is by far my favorite artist of all time!

I think that Carrie and David Cook looked good together last night on American Idol!!!

I think it's SO awesome that Carrie received another nomination. She completely deserves it because she is so amazing. She's my favorite celebrity by 15 miles and counting Smiling congrats!

I would love to see Carrie go onstage and start "I Told You So" then have Randy Travis come out with his Guitar and they do a accoustic Duet of the rest of the song together with the band coming in again at the end to finish the song.I also hope If Carrie wins EOTY that she bring her band and entourage on stage with her to accept the award and recognize all the people there that helped her win this so coveted award.I know she is nominated for "Just A Dream" but she did that at the CMA's last year.Or she can do that then the Duet with Randy.This would be So Much the New Generation Honoring and Recognizing the Old.Randy came out with this song in 1988 Carrie was about 5 Years old then.

I am a 61 yr old grandmother who is soooooooooo grateful to have you as a role model for so many young and old. And like your fellow AI7 winner David Cook (ps I loved your duet and want you 2 to do crossroads) I will be punching the vote as much as they will allow. God Bless and may you win that which you so richly deserve. Oh yes... love the new single and am anxiously awaiting the new album...

Starting March 16, let's unite and vote for Carrie for three awards she was nominated for. Let's have patience and continue to vote daily and to show Carrie our love and respect for her.
