Two country music icons, Garth Brooks and Dolly Parton, have been announced as the co-hosts for the 58th Annual Academy of Country Music (ACM) Awards.<\/p>\n
The awards show will take place on May 11 at the Ford Center at the Star in Frisco, Texas, and will be streamed live on Amazon Prime Video.<\/p>\n
Parton expressed her excitement at co-hosting the awards show with Brooks, stating in a press release, “While I’ve had the pleasure of spending time with him throughout the years, I can’t believe we’ve never had the chance to work together.”<\/p>\n
She has hosted the ceremony solo in 2000 and alongside Jimmie Allen and Gabby Barrett last year.<\/p>\n
Brooks, who has never hosted an awards show before, has won 22 ACM Awards, including six entertainer of the year awards. He expressed his hopes for the show, saying, “All I hope that we do as a pair is represent [country music] well.”<\/p>\n
He continued, “I mean, you’ve got your foundation and what you’re looking for here. You’ve got talent and class. Let’s represent country music the best that we can.”<\/p>\n
Promotional video footage for the awards show was filmed in Nashville, where the two icons displayed an easy-going banter that should serve them well on awards night.<\/p>\n
Parton shared that the lead single from her upcoming rock album will premiere on the show, while Brooks stated that fans should not expect a musical collaboration during the event.<\/p>\n
