Sunday night was the Academy of Country Music Awards! Y’all know I love my country music, so I was tuned in for the whole three hour show. Normally I post my predictions before the show, but this year, I completely forgot. I’m actually glad that I didn’t, because I would’ve been wrong on almost all of them! I disagreed with a few of them, but the one thing I did love about the show was a lot of new singles were debuted! Here are a few that I loved!

My favorite moment of the show had to be George Strait winning Entertainer of the Year!

Did you watch the show? What are your favorite songs right now?

It’s Grammy’s night!

I LOVE award shows, and the Grammy’s is always one of my favorites! Every year, I post my predictions for a few of the top categories. Fingers crossed I’m right this year!

“Get Lucky”-Daft Punk

“Radioactive”-Imagine Dragons

“Royals”-Lorde

“Locked Out Of Heaven”-Bruno Mars

“Blurred Lines”-Robin Thicke

Who I’m Rooting For: Lorde

Who Will Win: Robin Thicke

“Royals” has been really popular, but there hasn’t been a bigger song this year than “Blurred Lines”. I will be shocked if it doesn’t win this category.

The Blessed Unrest-Sara Bareilles

Random Access Memories-Daft Punk

Good Kid, M.A.A.D. City-Kendrick Lamar

The Heist-Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

Red-Taylor Swift

Who I’m Rooting For: Taylor Swift

Who Will Win: Taylor Swift

She always wins! Red is not my favorite of her albums, but love her or hate her, you have to admit she has a way with lyrics.

“Just Give Me a Reason”-Pink feat. Nate Ruess

“Locked Out Of Heaven”-Bruno Mars

“Roar”-Katy Perry

“Royals”-Lorde

“Same Love”-Macklemore & Ryan Lewis feat. Mary Lambert

Who I’m Rooting For: Katy Perry

Who Will Win: Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

Honestly, any of these songs deserve this award. They have all been hugely popular, and with the exception of “Same Love”, I’ve been playing them on repeat all year. I would love to see a win for Katy Perry, but I’m thinking Macklemore & Ryan Lewis have this one.

James Blake

Kendrick Lamar

Macklemore & Ryan Lewis

Kacey Musgraves

Ed Sheeran

Who I’m Rooting For: Kacey Musgraves

Who Will Win: Macklemore & Ryan Lewis OR Ed Sheeran

This has definitely been the year for Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, but the Grammy’s love Ed Sheeran, so I won’t be surprised either way.

And, for you country fans like me, here’s my predictions for the country categories!

“I Drive Your Truck”-Lee Brice

“I Want Crazy”-Hunter Hayes

“Mama’s Broken Heart”-Miranda Lambert

“Wagon Wheel”-Darius Rucker

“Mine Would Be You”-Blake Shelton

Who I’m Rooting For: Blake Shelton

Who Will Win: Miranda Lambert

Blake is my boy, but Miranda’s song is one of her best!

“From This Valley”-The Civil Wars

“Don’t Rush”-Kelly Clarkson feat. Vince Gill

“Your Side of the Bed”-Little Big Town

“Highway Don’t Care”-Tim McGraw, Taylor Swift, & Keith Urban

Who I’m Rooting For: Little Big Town

Who Will Win: Little Big Town

“Your Side of the Bed” is one of the best songs of the year, in my opinion. I feel like until the last couple of years, LBT hasn’t gotten the recognition they deserve, and I hope the voters will agree with me!

“Begin Again”-Taylor Swift

“Mama’s Broken Heart”-Miranda Lambert

“Merry Go ‘Round”-Kacey Musgraves

“Mine Would Be You”-Blake Shelton

Who I’m Rooting For: Blake Shelton

Who Will Win: Miranda Lambert

Again, Blake is my boy, but Miranda’s song is just awesome!

Night Train-Jason Aldean

Two Lanes of Freedom-Tim McGraw

Same Trailer Different Park-Kacey Musgraves

Based on a True Story-Blake Shelton

Red-Taylor Swift

Who I’m Rooting For: Blake Shelton

Who Will Win: Taylor Swift or Kacey Musgraves

Taylor ALWAYS wins album of the year when she’s nominated, but Kacey has received a lot of praise for this album. I have only heard a couple of songs from it, but from what I hear about her, she just might be the favorite for this category.

I’ll be live-tweeting most of the night, so if you’re watching, come tweet with me!

Have a great night!
