The 36-year-old singer is up for various accolades at the annual awards ceremony, including Album of the Year for 'Famous Friends' and Single of the Year for his collaboration with Kane Brown.

Walker Hayes, Miranda Lambert and Chris Stapleton each received five nominations in total, with Miranda making ACM history as she received her 16th consecutive nod for the Female Artist of the Year award.

The latest nomination means she's now level with Reba McEntire, who was nominated 16 times between 1983 and 2017.

Miranda - who released a collaborative album called 'The Marfa Tapes' last year - is also nominated for the prestigious Entertainer of the Year prize.

Elsewhere, Taylor Swift - who is one of the world's best-selling artists across all genres - has been nominated for the Music Video gong for ‘I Bet You Think About Me (Taylor’s Version)'.

Meanwhile, HARDY, Caitlyn Smith and Priscilla Block are among the industry newcomers who find themselves up for an award.

The annual awards ceremony will take place at the Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas on March 7 and will be streamed live on Amazon Prime Video.

The event is being hosted by country music legend Dolly Parton, who is a 13-time ACM Award winner.

The 76-year-old star has promised fans the ceremony will be a lot of "fun", and she can't wait to take to the stage.

Looking forward to the event, Dolly said: "I am so excited to be hosting the ACM Awards on March 7 from Vegas. Watch for us because we’re going to have some fun."
