Ella Langley and Zach Top, fresh off being presented with ACM’s New Female Artist and New Male Artist of the Year awards, are both set to perform at the 60th ACM Awards, hosted by Reba McEntire. Langley leads all ACM nominees with eight total nods, on the strength of her successful debut album, hungover, and her No. 1 hit single, “you look like you love me” featuring Riley Green. While Top is riding high following his Top 5-charting debut album, Cold Beer & Country Music, and his high-profile upcoming tours with country legends Alan Jackson and Dierks Bentley. Both artists received surprise announcements of their ACM Awards from country icons, with Miranda Lambert notifying Langley, and Brooks & Dunn revealing the news to Top. The rising stars will join a star-studded lineup of performers at the ACM Awards ceremony set to take place on May 8 in Frisco, Texas. (All Country News)
