ACM Awards 2022 Nominations: Blake Lively bags two nods; Chris Young leads the pack

The nominees for the 57th Academy of Country Music Awards are now available! The nominees for this year's Academy of Country Music Awards were revealed on Thursday by Jimmie Allen and Gabby Barrett, with Chris Young topping the field with seven nominations.

Walker Hayes, Miranda Lambert, and Chris Stapleton were all nominated for five awards. As per Billboard, the nominees include several historical figures. Lambert won her 16th straight nomination for female artist of the year, tying her with Reba McEntire for the most overall nominations in the category's history. From 1983 until 2017, McEntire was nominated 16 times. Carrie Underwood and Lambert are also up for entertainer of the year. This is the first time in eight years that two women have been nominated in the same category in the same year.

Meanwhile, Taylor Swift won her 32nd ACM nomination for "I Bet You Think About Me (Taylor's Version)," her first since 2018. The video, which includes Stapleton, has been nominated for video of the year. Swift took up the award in that category eight years ago with "Highway Don't Care," a collaboration with McGraw and Keith Urban. Blake Lively, the actress, is also nominated for producing and directing the video.

The 57th Academy of Country Music Awards, presented by Dolly Parton and co-hosted by Barrett and Allen, will air live on Prime Video on Monday, March 7 at 8:00 p.m. ET from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
