Miranda Lambert Tops ACM with Seven Nominations

Miranda Lambert declared 2010 the best year of her life. With seven nominations in the Academy of Country Music Awards, 2011 doesn’t look so bad either.

Lambert received her first ACM entertainer of the year nomination on Tuesday morning as she and Ronnie Dunn announced the nominees at The Country Music Hall of Fame Museum.

The American country music artist will also defend her 2010 top female vocalist win, along with her nominations for song and single of the year. Kenny and Zac Brown Band were next to Lambert with five nominations each.

Lambert started her flaming line up last year at the ACMs with three wins that included album of the year for the celebrated “Revolution.”

After she got engaged to Blake Shelton and launched her first large tour, Lambert received a record of nine nominations at the rival Country Music Association Awards and headed to win three.

Her 2011 is expected to be full of events as well. She will get her two Grammy Awards in 13 days. Also, nominated in the said event is her song “The House That Built Me.” Later this spring, she is scheduled to marry Shelton. Currently, she’s creating songs for her vastly anticipated succeeding album.

Joining Lambert in the entertainer of the year are Brad Paisley, Jason Adean, Keith Urban, Toby Keith and Taylor Swift. Carrie Underwood, a two-time reigning entertainer of the year, was surprisingly not nominated after she became the first woman to ever win several trophies in that category.

Along with the top new artist, entertainer of the year is one of the two awards that are decided by fans. Fans can cast their votes for this year’s winner during the third hour of the show, which will air live April 3 on CBS from the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
