Chris Young, Miranda Lambert and More Lead the Pack for 2022 ACM Awards Nominations

The 2022 ACM Awards are shaping up to be a night full of star power from country's best and brightest.

Co-hosts Jimmie Allen and Gabby Barrett announced the nominations for the 57th Academy of Country Music Awards Thursday morning, ahead of the annual ceremony on March 7.

Chris Young leads the pack this year with seven nominations, including album of the year and single of the year, while Walker Hayes, Miranda Lambert and Chris Stapleton trail with five apiece.

This year marks the first time Hayes has ever been nominated for an ACM, and his hit "Fancy Like" propelled him to success, earning four nominations in addition to Hayes' nod for new male artist of the year.

Lambert, meanwhile, earned her sixth nomination for entertainer of the year, as well as a record-tying nod for female artist of the year (she and Reba McEntire now each have 16).

Lambert, Stapleton and Luke Combs are all nominated for entertainer of the year, and if any are to win, they'll earn the Triple Crown Award, which means they've won entertainer of the year, new artist and artist of the year in their respective categories.

Allen and Barrett — who are co-hosting alongside Dolly Parton — were each nominated for artist of the year in their respective categories for the first time.

Jordan Davis, Carly Pearce, Carrie Underwood and Morgan Wallen each scored four nominations each, while reigning entertainer of the year Luke Bryan has three.

Taylor Swift is also nominated for the first time since 2018, and her music video for "I Bet You Think About Me (Taylor's Version)" earned actress Blake Lively her first ACM nominations, as she produced and directed the video.

This year's ACM Awards will stream live from Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas exclusively on Prime Video starting at 8 p.m. EST.
