One of our favorite things to see when an artist gets nominated for any award are their reactions! So here are some of our favorites from the ACM Nominations…

Wow. This is insanity. There’s nothing quite like finding out you’re nominated for the first time in your life in an Uber otw to the airport. Luckily my driver politely pretended to be excited for me because I was FREAKING OUT!! What an honor to be nominated with a bunch of other badass females who imho all deserve this award. Thank you @acmawards and thank you country music ????

Yes, I just cried in an airport bathroom over this. Sorry if you were waiting to pee, I needed a moment. You don’t know how validating it feels to be included in such an amazing group of hard working female artists. A huge congratulations to @tenilletownes @gabbybarrett_ @ingridandress and @lindsayell and all of their teams!✊ we all have been thru the grind & still grinding, while rocking heels & lashes on top of it all. It is an honor to know y’all and watch all of you shine in your own way✨ Also, a huge thank you to @umgnashville @umpg @redlightmgmt @thegreenroompr for being beside me on this wild journey & for all your hard work! It takes a village! And that little village has their first ACM nomination together????
