NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Kenny Chesney’s steamy duet, “You and Tequila” with Grace Potter continues to radiate heat. The song helped Chesney to nine Academy of Country Music Awards nominations Thursday morning, including the top honor of entertainer of the year.
Jason Aldean, next with six nominations; Brad Paisley; Blake Shelton; and 2011 winner Taylor Swift round out the fan-voted entertainer of the year category. Lady Antebellum had five nominations, Paisley had four and several were deadlocked at three, including Swift.
The 47th annual ACM Awards will air live April 1 from Las Vegas on CBS.
