The ACM Awards are Sunday night, but we already know who three of the winners are. Reba called them all to tell them, and someone in each camp was obviously in the know, because all their reactions are on video.

Lauren Alaina won New Female Vocalist of the Year, and as you can see, she lost all her words.

Brett Young is the New Male Vocalist of the Year, and he decided to make Reba’s 1pm call the beginning of his day – because how else would you want to start a day?

And then there’s your New Vocal Group of the Year, Midland, who don’t actually believe it’s Reba on the phone. Or that they’ve won. Is this real?

Congratulations to all the winners, and don’t forget to check out the ACM Awards 2018 station on Slacker Radio to hear all the nominated artists and songs, and after the awards to hear the winners and performances.

This past weekend was the most important of the year: WrestleMania weekend. Such an event needs the presence of some good ol’ metal… and so the metal did come!

First up, at NXT Takeover, Cane Hill performed the official theme song of the show, "It Follows" to kick off the night!


Later that night, Lzzy Hale of Grammy-winning Halestorm played in "Ember Moon." Perfect entrance for the champ!

However, nothing topped the charismatic Shinsuke Nakamura’s entrance. Alice Cooper’s own Nita Strauss performed with ten drummers and more than a few violinists to play to Mr. Nakamura onto the big stage in front of 80,000 people. True story, this was pretty much the coolest thing I have seen this year.


In sum, thank you WWE for providing this metalhead, and most importantly metal itself, with yet another fantastic Wrestlemania.

She is one of the most beloved new artists in country music and one of our faves from Nashville! How lucky are we to have RaeLynn in to perform the title track off her debut album, "WildHorse".
