The ACM Awards are still a couple weeks away – April 7th, to be exact – but three lucky acts will show up in Las Vegas already knowing they’re the winners in at least one category. Female Artist of the Year nominee (and 14-time ACM winner) Carrie Underwood had the honor of calling the winners in each of the new artist categories.
Ashley McBryde was obviously shocked when she found she was the (100% well-deserved) ACM New Female Artist of the Year. She may or may not have uttered an expletive when Carrie told her.
When Carrie called the guys in LANCO, they were happy to stop their soundcheck to find out they were named ACM New Group of the Year (for which they were nominated last year, too). They also asked the obvious questions: how did Carrie Underwood get their number, and “does this mean we get tickets to the show?”
And Luke Combs got Carrie’s call about his New Male Artist win, well, he was in the middle of making a delicious breakfast treat.
You can see bits of each of their videos below or get the full videos on their Instagrams:
