Miranda Lambert Tops Taylor Swift in ACM Nominations

Miranda Lambert Tops Taylor Swift in ACM Nominations

It looks like country cutie Taylor Swift finally has some competition in Nashville. The Academy of Country Music announced their nominations Tuesday, and it isn’t the curly-haired crooner who’s leading the pack.

This isn’t the first time Miranda Lambert, who racked up an astounding seven ACM nominations, has upstaged Swift. The 27-year old recently engaged singer also led the way in CMA nominations back in Sept. 2010, and went on to win four awards including Female Vocalist of the Year and Album of the Year.

But while Lambert might have claimed her throne as the reigning queen of country, Swift’s talents are far from going unrecognized. The 21-year-old, who or may not be rekindling her romance with Jake Gyllenhaal, is nominated for four awards, including the fan-voted Entertainer of the Year, where she’s up against Lambert, Jason Aldean, Toby Keith, Brad Paisley and new dad Keith Urban.

Chesney and the Zac Brown Band each scored a second-leading five nominations, followed by The Band Perry and Swift with four apiece. The awards take place in Las Vegas on April 3 and are hosted by Reba McEntire and Lambert’s fiancé Blake Shelton.

Who do you hope wins big at the ACM awards this year? Chime in below!
