Reba named to host ACMs, again

Thursday, April 25, 2024 – Reba McEntire will host the 59th Academy of Country Music Awards on May 16, the ACM announced today.

The awards will be held at 8 p.m. eastern time, streaming live exclusively for a global audience across more than 240 countries and territories on Prime Video from Ford Center at The Star in Frisco, Texas. A Prime membership will not be required to watch live.

"I am tickled to pieces to get to host the ACM Awards for the 17th time," McEntire said. "What an honor to have been part of the past, present and now the future of the Academy of Country Music with Amazon Prime Video. I can't wait to get to Texas and see everybody May 16th."

"We are thrilled for the homecoming of Reba to the ACM Awards stage for the 17th time. There is simply no one better to continue to elevate this show in our new global streaming era with Amazon Prime Video," ACM CEO Damon Whiteside said. "No one has a deeper and richer history with the Academy than Reba, from her many years hosting the ACM Awards and from her 16 ACM Awards wins including Entertainer of the Year and two ACM anniversary Milestone Awards. With exciting new music coming, extensive television presence and a worldwide fanbase, Reba's back and better than ever."
