PARTON TO HOST ACM AWARDS

2/3/22

Dolly Parton will host the 57th Academy of Country Music Awards that will stream live from Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium on Amazon Prime Video on 3/7.

Nominations for this year’s awards will be announced next week. Co-hosts with Parton, who is on this year’s ballot for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, will be announced at a later date.

Parton has a new album, Run, Rose, Run (Butterfly), coming out 3/4, to accompany her novel Run, Rose, Run, written with James Patterson, that will be released 3/7.

“Dolly is the most iconic and multitalented artist of all time, and we are proud that she is a friend and supporter of the Academy, a previous host, and a 13-time Academy of Country Music Award recipient,” said Damon Whiteside, CEO of the Academy of Country Music. “There is no one better than Dolly to represent the ACM Awards brand and country music on a global scale as we move to streaming and show the world that ‘this is how we country’ by delivering one of the most exhilarating and innovative shows in our history to audiences worldwide.”

Parton was host of the ACM Awards once before—in 2000, when she did it solo.
