The Academy of Country Music’s “party of the year” has arrived! Going into the 59th ACM Awards — which will broadcast live from the Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas — on Thursday (May 16), Luke Combs leads in nominations with eight nods, while Megan Moroney — this year’s most nominated woman at the ACMs — and Morgan Wallen are just behind him with six.
Among the awards the “Fast Car” singer is in the running for are entertainer of the year; album, song and single of the year; and male entertainer of the year. The “Last Night” crooner will be giving him a run for his money in the album of the year, male artist of the year and single of the year. Moroney, meanwhile, is up for female artist of the year as well as new female artist of the year (which she won ahead of the show) and song of the year, among other honors.
Jelly Roll, who is a first-time ACM Awards nominee, has four nods: entertainer of the year, male artist of the year, single of the year and music event of the year.

Lainey Wilson’s “Wildflowers and Wild Horses” Lyrics
In the middle of the nightI hear a cornfield coyote cryUp at the moon, no matter whatSky, I’m layin’ under
In the eye of a hurricaneWhen I got one foot in the graveI’ll dig my boots into the dirtAnd face the rollin’ thunder
I’m five generations of blazin’ a trailThrough barb-wired valleys and overgrown dellsI’m barefoot and bareback and born tough as nailsWhoa, whoa, whoa
I’m four-fifths of reckless and one-fifth of jackI push like a daisy through old sidewalk cracksYeah, my kinda crazy’s still runnin’ its courses withWildflowers and wild horses
It’s in the water, in my veinsThat bread of Heaven falls like rainSo I’m taken care of either wayMake somethin’ outta how I’m madeUntil I hitch a ride on Glory’s train
I’m five generations of blazin’ a trailThrough barb-wired valleys and overgrown dellsI’m barefoot and bareback and born tough as nailsWhoa, whoa, whoa
I’m four-fifths of reckless and one-fifth of jackI push like a daisy through old sidewalk cracksYeah, my kinda crazy’s still runnin’ its courses withWildflowers and wild horses
I’m five generations of blazin’ a trailThrough barb-wired valleys and overgrown dellsI’m barefoot and bareback and born tough as nailsWhoa, whoa, whoa
I’m four-fifths of reckless and one-fifth of jackI push like a daisy through old sidewalk cracksYeah, my kinda crazy’s still runnin’ its courses withWildflowers and wild horses
Yeah, my kinda crazy’s still runnin’ its courses withWildflowers and wild horsesWildflowers and wild horses
