These days, it's not a country music party until Jelly Roll and his wife Bunnie XO show up, so it looks like the 2024 Academy of Country Music Awards has officially achieved party status.
In addition to Jelly and Bunnie, current Hot Country Songs chart-topper Shaboozey, the man behind the viral hit “A Bar Song (Tipsy),” also hit the ACM Awards red carpet on Thursday night ( May 16) in suburban Frisco, Texas. the Ford Center at The Star, where the awards ceremony will take place, broadcast on Prime Video.
Reba McEntire was also spotted on the carpet ahead of her hosting gig on the show. The 16-time ACM Award winner will return to host the show for a record 17th time on Thursday night. (“What an honor to have been a part of the past, present and now future of the Academy of Country Music,” McEntire said when her latest hosting gig was announced.)
The ACM carpet isn't red this year, but Entertainer of the Year nominee Lainey Wilson brought the color with her head-to-toe firefighter red suit and cowboy hat combo.
