I was super excited, until I read the fine print. It said "additional honorees will be announced later." lol Watch Taylor wins for being the younges to win Album of the year or something like that. They will find a way to make up a fake category to give her something...lol
but I am super excited that Carrie is being honored! yay!
We needed some good news today.
The only female artist worthy of their special night is REBA, she's been in the business for 35 years, and still going, TOTR just hit #1 and IIWAB jumped 15 places on the country charts. Dolly hasnt had a top 40 hit since the 90s, where's shania now?! Faith hasnt had new material and a top ten hit in AGES , loretta was honored by the grammys, i think that is enough.
Im ticked off that Brooks n Dunn got their own night just because they were retiring, and reba hasnt been honored yet by the ACMs, when she has achieved 12 awards,and a record of 7 female vocalist wins. Plus she's been the host for the last decade, and is ONCE AGAIN hosting this year.
I dont like people saying that carrie is the first female artist to win EOTY twice because it is fan voted, which is alot different to how it was back when dolly, reba, shania, loretta,etc won it. If it was industry voted she wouldnt have won it twice. Im 100% certain about that.

You're missing a very KEY point here in your statement -- the EOTY is ALSO industry voted! It's a combination of both groups and to my knowledge no one except ACM management knows the percentage of each group in determining the award winner. I've said several times that I believe the industry voting was the deciding factor in Carrie's wins of EOTY. Do I have any way of knowing this for sure, No, I don't but logic and common sense tells me given the size of a certain artist's fan base, that the industry vote was key.
I'm sorry that you don't truly appreciate the contribution that Carrie, in her short career has made to the country music genre and community. It is the opinion of several in the industry that Carrie has opened some closed doors for the women in the genre. It is what it is!
The other comment I'd like to make, is that I found it funny that in the CW article they used a picture of Carrie from her performance of JAD at the CMAs to announce something for the ACMs!
A big thank you to Daisy Tweets, for your comments. You took the words right out of my mouth. The bit about the ACM EOTY award being a fan and industry voted award has been stated numerous times but it always boggles my mind when I read others' statements who acknowledge only the 'fan' voted part...wonder why they do that??
OMG! Tee is going to be so excited! NO TAYLOR!! Congrats Tee! :haha:

This is what the article says:
Martina will be recognized by ACM Lifting Lives for her dedication to raising social consciousness through songs such as “Independence Day” and “Concrete Angel,” which raise awareness of domestic violence and encourage female empowerment. She has won Top Female Vocalist three times, in 2001, 2002 and 2003.

so cool! thanks for the info I LOVE "independence day" and "concrete angel".
hmm interesting martina is being recognized for winning FVOTY 3 times. is carrie also going to be recognized for that? carrie also won female vocalist 3 times in the role. had carrie gotten FVOTY last year-she would have had one over her idol martina. SO CLOSE.
