Reba McEntire to Host the Academy of Country Music Awards
Reba McEntire will host the 44th annual Academy of Country Music Awards ceremony next year. It will be McEntire’s 11th time to host the awards ceremony, which according to the singer herself holds a special place in her heart.
“It was my first award show that I was nominated for in 1981, the Top New Female Vocalist of the Year,” Reba is quoted as saying by acmcountry.com. “I didn’t win it – Terri Gibbs got it that year – but I was nominated! It holds lots of great memories for me.”
McEntire has sold more than 50 million records over the course of her incredible career. She has also won 11 Academy of Country Music Awards.
The Academy of Country Music Awards will take place on April 5, 2009, at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
