Singer-songwriters Hardy and Lainey Wilson led the nominees Thursday for this year's Academy of Country Music Awards.
Hardy scored the most nominations with seven, followed closely by Wilson with six. Kane Brown, Luke Combs, Miranda Lambert and Cole Swindell were tied for third place with five.
Hardy is up for song ("Wait in the Truck") and artist-songwriter of the year, while Wilson is nominated for album ("Bell Bottom Country") and female artist of the year. Together, the musicians share three nominations for their hit collab, "Wait in the Truck."
Nominated for the top prize, entertainer of the year, are Brown, Combs, Lambert, Jason Aldean, Chris Stapleton, Carrie Underwood and Morgan Wallen.
It's also worth noting that Lambert now boasts more career nominations for female artist of the year than any other musician, breaking the record previously set by Reba McEntire.
The 58th ACM Awards will be hosted by country titans Dolly Parton and Garth Brooks, live from the Ford Center at the Star in Frisco, Texas. The show will be available to stream May 11 at 8 p.m. Eastern on Amazon Prime Video. See the full list of main-award nominations below.
